A typical recurring theme

Recurring stimuli recall
Yearning for continuity

Just Saying

What upsets me 
about apes,
is that they are
far too much 
like humans.
Mostly, I wonder
about
these recurring dreams,
of angels
eating bananas.

Resurfacing

resurfacing self doubt
recurring negative 
self talk emerging 
once again after 
being buried for 
so long within 
the recesses of 
the subconscious mind

Anger, a Recurring Theme

Anger is just like a high
When u r mad
But when it's over
You are sad.

You hate what you said
You hate what you did
In front of Ned
And the other kids.

Fear

Frequency of heart beat high
Extreme unexpectation apparent without a sigh
Affliction by an unseen trauma
Recurring in the mind is this non-existing failure tumor.
Form: Acrostic

Disconnected

Hope lies bleeding down a well
    broken and afraid 
Screams rebounding off the walls 
Help stands distant on a hill
    silent and restrained 
Dreams recurring of the falls

Premium Member life of her own making

Alienating friends and family
She could do naturally
Her own recurring theme

She dies friendless and completely alone
Of course this was her own choice
A life of her making

Heaven

The problem with heaven, 
is it's tailed by hell;
A perfect vision, 
but it flees so well.
A light in nightmares
Lasts for one moment
Then ends in despair, 
Recurring torment.

     The whole idea of a ‘leisure class’
        is not as distant as it seems

     when students prep for life with courses 
        ~ like ‘Meditation and Recurring Dreams’

Blood On The Rails

Through struggle
one can justify life
Losing the battle
enhances the view
Blood on the rails
all markings assured
Death as the prize
— recurring anew

Sincere apologies 

Diabolical policy 

My part in your life 

losing its  novelty 

Babe magnet wannabee 

Recurring anomalies 

Quantity first and always above quality

Just Out of Reach

Over the horizon
a harp is playing

Its call recurring,
its tone Divine

Beyond the swell,
a calm is waiting

Its breeze untethered
—to flow sublime

Leigh Hunt's double quatrain -linked centres around 'Time you thief' ,a bio romantic memory of youth from the nostalgia of old age...a typical recurring happening I can confirm as someone very aged myself

Premium Member Zen mode

space itself yields
when we are one with it
and as a mark of love
reveals through its crevice
light that lights all lights
shimmering from beyond
beheld in plain sight
in our waking state
as recurring epiphany 
affirming the eternal truth

Fragments of You

Her perfume scent lingers

triggering lives with shots of translucent recurring images and flickering pages, 

permanently installed unto memories and times

that unfurl bringing

to us unaltered,

visions of her fragments

left behind…….

Nightmare

It’s here and there and everywhere

The fogginess of my dreams

I can't escape my thoughts today

So full of cries and screams

The echo of my haunted dreams

Is played over in my head

I’ve always hated recurring dreams

For they fill me up with dread

Premium Member Haunted

Living one foot in the past
Yes, okay, sometimes two
Is not by choice
When it’s a past that holds you
By a tether
To your core.

Could it be any other way
When you love
With all your heart
In youth
In innocence
In foolishness?

Inevitable Bear

Oh lonely Inevitable Bear,
Padding claws, death in white
Sorrow in recurring nightmare
Instinct’s test; fight or flight?

Camouflage against the fence,
A challenge; my subconscious fear
Ominous slowly moving silence,
“Let me in, there’s a bear out here!”

Never Really Gone

That ulcer
in his 
consciousness
bleeding
to be heard
A canker
of a 
muted past
abscessing
every word

Cold sores
of detention
that fade
but never
cure
A virus
of his 
hopes and dreams
recurring
— untoward
