Neural Nostalgia Bliss

I think I ‘ve almost watched them all
my heroes performing live on stage
and maybe it’s time to turn the page

Neural nostalgia will bring me back
and perhaps make me happy again
even if I ‘m really happy by then

Looking forward for this to happen
it’s like waiting for an old friend to call
and laugh over silly things we recall

The middle of being young and old
feels I ‘ve reached that point with this
hope for neural nostalgia bliss

Let’s not get all that mellow though
things end and new things begin
the music though remains within

It will bring back you too some day
even for a moment it will hit your brain
the soundtrack of your life and all that may contain

Happy Place

happy place, in and out, people make the place, poetry, short and sweet

The happy place is there
while not exactly a place
let’s just call it enivronment
that soon will have a new face

Funny how things turn out
heaven turned into hell
yet later hell turned into heaven
can you really tell?

Someone left the happy place
someone else will join soon
but someone is always there
the happy place is a boon

Waiting

Waiting for change to happen
but not really all that much
perhaps enforce change to others
but not make it seem as such

Waiting for others to speak to me
as I don’t have the confidence to do so
I never thought it would be that hard
as I consider myself clever though

Waiting for my project to be done
then go out and waste my time
I never put the effort needed so
I think I ‘ve committed a crime

Waiting for the stress to leave me
I did not want to come at this point
and all the cool people around me
say I should smoke a joint

Waiting for myself to grow up
well in th nearest future at least
so I can prove what I can do
nothing, that is

It’s that time of the year
when you need more gear
and you don’t really need it
it’s just greed demanding to feed it

You are short of time and money
once again at the same spot honey
and now it’s the time to create
don’t you even try to sedate

Start now you need no plan
go wild and have some fun
will the creation be good or bad?
you really shouldn’t worry about that

The Last Walk XII – Under the Radar

commemoration, feelings, last talk, last walk, life, memories, memory, personal, poetry, the plan, xen

I’ve been there once again
tried to recall all things said
only the path was the same
everything else has changed

I ‘ve been there but nobody knew
I was really trying to start anew
but the memory forced me in a state of bliss
next to my best friend who I dearly miss

Another walk down the memory lane
perhaps is what still keeps me sane
the memory of the last walk in my mind
remains deeper inside than any other kind

I ‘m forcing it all to come to surface
this day is all about going back to our base
the struggle may be obvious indeed
but remembering it all has become a need

It has nothing to do with the last walk
the plan, the action, the point of the talk
it’s been twelve years and I miss you friend
the plan still lives on, it will never end

We Created Life

creation, creativity, feelings, future, life, personal, poem, poetry, way forward, we created life

So much going on right now
I can’t believe it, I have to say “wow”
no matter how frightening this can be
it’s excitingly beautiful to say the least

Expected it or not I don’t know
planted, but who knew it would grow
felt great once and passed my mind
I really thought we created life

Still too early and cannot say much
time will tell and people will judge
we keep things the way we want to
this is the hard and fun part of improptu

Let’s see how we handle this and how it goes
where do we get from here nobody knows
we are at the root of something that is alive
the name “X” is on the table but will it thrive?

I Choose Not To…

better life, decisions, feelings, future, life, personal, poem, poetry, way forward

An opportunity has appeared
but I decided to not even try
as bad as it may sound or look
only I, can understand why

It’s one thing moving forward
it’s another enslaving myself
to what others call “better life”
I will remain on the same shelf

The reason is quite simple now
yet it is hard to be understood
I know myself and it’s too early
I ‘m not ready for the shoot

When will I be ready? you ask
when is it the right time then?
I know me, I like to take my time
hopefully not too late by then

People seem surprised at first
people seem to undermine me
the sacrifice is not worth it
and I see no benefitting me

In a “better life” where I lose me
I choose not to dive in

Made It

achievement, cool, I just did, life, poem, poetry, positive, proud, wow, yeah

Made it for once without too much hustle
it just came to me and went all in
never to forget so much confidence in me
what I heard eventually at least was “wow”

It’s strange when you feel like that alone
a whole different thing in front of others though
and it just somehow hit me not to say no
all the odds turned in favour, how? I do not know

One of those times that your instinct works
you know exactly what to do and you have lots
yet it’s almost crystal clear how you connect the dots
ignoring what keeps you back and stalls

Don’t like to brag about it but I made it
still happy now that’s why I can say it
a few moments of being proud and enjoy it
I really never thought I would made it

Easy now…

consistency, hopeful, life, mind, off guard, poem, poetry, thoughts, true

The same things that bothered me in the past
have now got back to me and they ‘re pushing hard
now whatever I have to do I have to do it fast
this time though, it really caught me off guard

All the things that need to be done and more
I never saw this chance coming at me like that
and now I have to be even faster than before
if I really want to keep wearing the winner’s hat

Not sure if what I ‘m doing is at all the right thing
as always we take it as it goes and just go with it
no matter how hard or easy it is what life will bring
consistency is the key, I know that, I ‘ve seen it

Cancellation

creations, decisions, future, life, music, poem, poetry, projects, songs

I ‘ve been thinking about it for long
sooner or later I got to finish the song
it’s been ages since I have started it
along with other projects that delayed it

Thinking that in order to complete this
it doesn’t have to be the bee’s knees
then again I need to cancel other things
to make the time to rock those strings

The tough thing to do is to decide what
can I put aside an existing project that
has been in the wait for a very long time
and nothing shows it will reach its prime

The reasonable thing to do is cancellation
but these projects are my mind’s salvation
putting it aside will probably do the trick
give it a second chance, let it be a future pick
