time burns holes in your skin 
sticks needles into the softest palms 
time alters everything

Time presses its soft weight to skin,
slips from the grip we tighten around,
as if to hold the seconds in place,
to freeze the air where breath once was.

But time keeps folding into itself,
drawing light from the edges of night,
and we, like stones, sit still, wait long,
as rivers carve our names into loss. 

Logic

Analyse, Life, Logic, Mind, Philosophical, poetry, Writing

In the world of logic, we navigate
the complexities of fate. From syllogisms
to truth tables; we analyse, dissect,
debate. 

Demand mathematical proofs,
each premise carefully sought,
in the realm of reason and thought.  

 

The Meaning of Life

We are only as wise as 
the mind can imagine,
everything else whirls 
around our ears. 

How we seek to define 
the influences that shape 
our character. Hoping 
perhaps to discover 
the meaning of life.

Imagine

Dreams, Imagination, Philosophical, poetry, Writing

To imagine is to articulate our dreams in a manner 
so simple as to be truly realised, to be believed.   
Perhaps there is nothing beyond imagining then,
to reveal our true nature. 

The Easy option

Don't choose the obvious route, the easy option,
that old familiar path. Follow the road less travelled - be brave,
venture out beyond the shadows,
there's mystery there. The world awaits you
with open arms. It may guide you to nowhere in particular.
It may lead you to paradise.

Mountaintop

Life, Mountain, Philosophical, poetry, Stability, Writing

I would not build a house upon a mountaintop
but on solid, more stable ground,
no matter how glorious the view.
Just I would not cast a rock to river
or attempt to balance it upon a knife's point.
