The Mind Wanders

Weaving in and out

At times vague

Teasing illusions

Drifting somewhere

 

Harbouring posibbilities

Seeking myths promise

Remembering journeys

Fading, unrealized

Fossilized verses

Ancient hieroglyphics

No longer understood

Or believed

Transcending at 432hz

Though not really

Knowing why or how

Pretending, suspended

Memories shuffled

Spirit ready, craving

Shadows giving way

Cast another dream.

The Sun

Did not set on time

Suspended, wavering

Over a horizon holding

Light's last breath

While shadows lurk

Cornering dusk's light

Whisper louder, stealing

Light's embrace

While wolves wait

Ready to prey

Under a blue moon's

Shrinking hold

Perceptions slipping away

Deceiving illusions trust

Howling winds enter in

The night's crypt.

Edwin James

...

Walking

Along a roadside

Familiar yet almost

Lost, the ground

Beneath my feet

Lifting fond memories

Not quite ready to

Abandoned, reliving

Scenes in time

When priorities meant

Little, daring to be

Different was everything

Especially in front of

Your steady girl - you know

The one you someday marry

An infatuation replaced

By another, then another

Brings a smile to my face

Worn by time's subtle

Reprise, teasing

My shadow's growth

Tangled in re-runs

That can no longer be

Re-lived, echo undeniably

Down this road, a journey

Never quite finished.

Edwin James


...

Inevitably

Pushing rainbows

Bending

Peripheral limits

Stitching

Pseudo reality's

Seeking

Twisted fate's

Consent

Loafing insolence

Never

Connecting self

Buried

Under daunting

Covers

Pissing away

Destiny

Ruined hopes

Bleed

Suffering alone

Suspended

Pondering moves

Choking

Moral's Compass

Drifting.

... 

 

 

Chasing

 

Rainbows through her

Mind, catching sun rays

Washing her hands

Understanding her worth

Sinking toes in grass

Moist, full of vigor

Her heart full

Her mind content

Stopping only to

Catch a butterfly's

Dream, redefining her

Beauty and desires

Collected from an

Endless stream, building

A castle in the clouds

Giddy and free.

Edwin James

The Darkeness

Beneath her skin

Was slowly ebbing

Fading, revealing

Her innocence

Tracing her pulse

Deep into the night

She realizes her

Downfall, her collapse

A Deception believed

 Disguised in hues

Seducing her will's

Daydreams

A decaying energy

Driven by mistrust

Fusing doubts into

A deformed reality

That was never hers

Quivers in the dark

Unable to resist 

This promising light.

Edwin James

...

 

Horizon's Light

Kindles under

Dawn's coral skin

And crimson sunsets

Streaming day's events

Destiny stemming

Between light and dark

Infusing Fate, quantifying

Mankind's latest patriarch

Another halftime show

Staging day's delirium

Chasing night's fresco

A painted pseudonym

Disguised in harmony

Or masked in terror

Ending light's journey

Welcoming night's author.
