Poetry with a Zen Twist
Dedicated mind
The result is the reward
Passion and hard work

Words blunt, ink splatters
The paper remains intact
Freedom to create

Blurred background needs refocusing
Bring attention to the foreground then widen your lens
Panoramic views in crystal HD
Field of vision expands
New horizons seen in 5D
Buy your ticket take the ride
Watch the show unfold
Screen projects from inside
Edited and remastered
Post production finalised
Personal demands exacted
Mind body and soul
- complete and redacted

Self imposed madness
Leading to chronic sadness
Bewildering abstractness
(Of thought)
Harness this into creativity
Sporadic spontaneity
Turn yourself into a poetic deity
(Delusional talent)
Illusions come to life
Mental state put aside
In this flow I abide
(Breathe in count back from 5)
Pat yourself on the back and thank the universe you're alive.

I see words like equations
Patterns and iterations
Algebraic formulas that
produce characterisations
Regurgitating my mind
onto a blank canvas
Structuring rhyme
in the medium of stanzas
A pallette of phrases
Built up in carefully
selected stages
Brush of magic on all pages
Words of wisdom
Inspired by sages

Whispering phantom
Defective scripture
Imaginary idols
A twisted picture
Actions speak loud
But words hold power
Spells fall from clouds
A creative shower
Plot twist in the narrative
Maker and created draw
a comparative
Outside observer notes
similarities "~"
Finds many clarities
Inner goggles see no
disparities

Life's rhythmic ballad
pirouettes across the stars
Partners dance as one
Copyright © 2022 Gareth David Ogilvie
Cracked perceptions
Self made deceptions
Fractured reflections
Lessons learned from
mind being churned
New points of view
Reveal a new hue
Colours more vibrant
Ideas spurt from a hydrant
Destroy your inner tyrant
Become a creativity Giant.

Undressing thoughts
Hack down supports
Write down ideas
Release those fears
Save data for later
when becoming
the creator.
