Clockwork

~

By day I write

and hide from night

By night I hide from myself

That’s when the demons appear

escaping their hidden shelf

~

They spill my ink

won’t let me think

I’m forced to quit too soon

Then I’m left with nothing to do

until the setting moon

~

The sun will rise

to blurry eyes

And off again I’ll venture

I’ll try to have a brighter day

But darkness remains unsure

Don’t Know

I need a formula to know when best to write.
I write randomly most every day and night.
Rarely is it very good but sometimes it’s all right.

~

In search of inspiration everywhere I go.
Some hit in an instant, some never show.
Moods always vary as the poems reflect.
The good and bad, I think are quite easy to detect.

~

Sometime when feeling good I’ve nothing good to write.
That ticks me off assuring a terrible night.
But when feeling down writing helps me feel all right.

~

Yet the time is spent either way,
though always writing of yesterday.
Where’s the balance, it’s there I’ll go.
So if anybody knows, please let me know.

Fast Forward

Technology is

Much like life, if not embraced

You’ll be forgotten

~

Rewind

Time and energy

consumed is the same reflecting

as is projecting

~

Stop

If No means maybe

and maybe means yes then stop

means: Back off ass hole!
