Poems published on POETS The Original (MeWe) during May 2019







Meet us on POETS The Original (MeWe)




Behind the closed door

    here's time ticking away
Quietly & silently
Behind the closed door
A throbbing in heating pipes
A tap dripping into the sink
Or just the wind
Winding around corners
Quietly & silently
Tranquil
But in the end
The day is guillotined
    After all
And looks puzzled

Fir trees
Comforted by darkness
But the wind moans

 Dreamers
     if
You
And
I
Are
Not
The ones
Then
Who is
Dreaming
     This
World?

Dream
     how does
The hand
Feel
On
Your
Shoulder
If
During
Dark night
You’re
     Deeply
Asleep?

Time travelling dream
Han Shan and Shi De joking
While pounding the rice

This week's prompt: Dreamscapes


Four White Feathers

… and then you find
A crumpled white feather
In your wallet
You know your failing
And the courage
Of the one you failed

The Idea of Heaven

Still residing high above the stars and skies
Heaven’s the realm of ev’ry God adored
It’s the safe haven for all the battered souls
To be reached only by the grace of God

One endeavors with auspiciousness and ease
Another ruthlessly loses chance by chance
And we just living in the dreaded middle
Look at the sky above and think of heaven

The idea of heaven also implicates
A hell for those, who do not fear law or God
If they burn and suffer, we should pity them

Do not foolishly think you stood on solid ground
When you are walking on a slippery path
Which eventually might lead to heaven

Alternative lines:
/ A hell for those not fearing God or the law
/ Do not foolishly think you'd stand on solid ground
/ When you are walking on a slippery path
/ But which eventually leads to heaven

Without Exit

There is a city without exits
It only possesses entries
A Kasbah
A labyrinth
Abandoned streets
Shadows entering attics
Only beginnings
No endings
It is, where Sysiphus is working
Ahasver still lives here
No telephone
Neither internet
Nor churches for solace
But you live here, too

Que sera, sera
Or Fridays for future
Constant change
