Optimistically Depressed

lizaaitken

The super moon is on its way,

and it always brings a test.

A feeling has come over me,

it’s optimistically depressed.

The moon you see controls the tides

and I have water in me.

I feel the pull as it rolls out,

that’s when the sadness hits me.

But tides they turn, come back again,

I’m skipping up and down.

From tears to laughter in a flash,

then smiling to a frown.

I wish this week would hurry up,

I want it over soon.

For one moment I’m excited,

then I’m howling at the moon.

Possession

lizaaitken

I’m giving up my body

and passing you my mind,

I want to be possessed by you

my soul I’m trying to find.

Please use my hand and paint a scene,

by opening up my heart.

Write poetry that lights a fire,

I’m ready now to start.

Or use my voice, speak through me,

the words I do not know.

Blend the colours of my heart

for the creation of my soul.

I’m leaving here, there’s space for you,

my mind is open now.

Exist through me, live through me,

possess and show me how.

Or – DP

lizaaitken

Do what you say or what,

perhaps I have my own mind.

It’s bullying to insist I do,

also I think it’s unkind.

Happiness or heartache,

what’s wrong with being alone.

There’s more to life than relationships,

no, I’m not made of stone.

Take the exam or fail,

there’s more ways to learn a new trick.

Just because I’ve not got a masters,

no, it doesn’t make me thick.

Let’s not forget to do or to die,

where on earth is the sense in that

There’s so many choices out there,

have you worked out Schrodinger’s cat?

Reflections

lizaaitken

 

img_3506

The sky fell in the pond today,

it quite took me by surprise

Fish on clouds without the rain,

looked like they could fly

An aeroplane flew underneath,

must have been a special trip

I stood there for a minute or two,

I was considering a dip

 A strange and new reality,

my world turned upside down

Just goes to show what’s possible,

when you really look around.

Death

lizaaitken

Death is not that bad at all,

as it helps me to be alive,

Staring death right in the face,

I know I now survive.

I’m living in the moment,

who knows if I’ll get more,

I live today for what it is,

not caring what’s in store.

Future days may not exist,

if it’s today I’m due to die.

Is tomorrow really relevant,

if so I can’t think why?

Vegetal -DP

lizaaitken

Oh, that wine was just so vegetal,

because of unripe grapes.

Picking that bottle from the shelf,

I made a huge mistake.

The smell of my back garden,

was not my desire at all.

Held up closely to my nose,

my face screwed up appalled.

It did not add complexity,

there was certainly a major flaw.

I poured it down the kitchen sink,

put the bottle outside the back door.

Primp – DP

lizaaitken

Today I don’t feel like primping,

unless you want to Skype.

Today I’m going to stay indoors,

I’m avoiding all the hype.

I’m keeping on my slouchy leggings,

with a baggy T on top.

I won’t be putting on lipstick,

I’m not pulling out any stops.

To primp I’d have to give a dam,

I don’t feel like that today.

So I’m staying in my bubble

and the world can go away.

Finding Love

lizaaitken

Today  I’ll meditate on love,

a love that’s hard to find.

It seems to come right down the list,

on most of humankind.

For wealth’s a bigger topic,

that seems to be the way.

My wish to see more love out there,

I’d love to find it today.

Why is the world so insular,

why do we have these walls.

If we were more kind and loving,

there’d be enough for all

So today I’ll meditate on love,

the love I want to find

I hope that others join me,

those out there who are kind.

Second Thoughts – DP

lizaaitken

It’s always the last moment,

that I have my second thoughts.

The minutes have reduced,

from two, to one, to nought.

Then I worry I’m too late,

to ever change my mind.

For I deliberate too long,

it’s just that I’m that kind.

If you ask me if I’m certain,

I never really know.

You’ll see me going back and forth,

do I want to go.

So make my mind up for me please,

tell me what to do.

So when it’s time to cast the blame,

it won’t be me but you.

Irksome – DP

lizaaitken

I’m getting somewhat irritated,

you just go on and on,

I want to say it right out loud,

your stories are to long.

I’m finding it exasperating,

when I’m listening to you.

Your boring and uninteresting,

oh, what is a girl to do.

If you could be less awkward,

it wouldn’t be as grating.

Then again not too much,

it might look as if we’re dating.
