Now against my wishes
Here

Here now against my wishes
What I see
Is what I see
Beneath it all
It is only that and nothing more
A small green stone
Touched and then touches
But not the way
I see it is really nothing more
cc: brian hefele - https://www.flickr.com/photos/21464569@N00
Here now against my wishes
It doesn’t matter
What I want
For what I see
Is not that, it is nothing more
Some say simplicity
Others call it complexity
My heart beats repeately
No one hears it but me
cc: Norma Desmond - https://www.flickr.com/photos/53627666@N00
Here now against my wishes
How to empty and grow beyond
Leave that stone alone
Hanging touched without more
Will I then see nothing more
Fulfilled is an emotion
Worthy and yet not
Too much and yet so little
Giving yet not given is there
nothing more?
cc: angela . - https://www.flickr.com/photos/8081264@N04☾
Here now against my wishes
Go, no stay
Is there a difference
My heart and breath say yes
And yet the answer may well be
not
Close my eyes
See with my heart
Polish the small green stone
See the light truly
There is nothing more
cc: alémdoquesevê_ - https://www.flickr.com/photos/29131777@N03
Here now against my wishes
Hardest jade hiding the warmth
Its cool touch appealing
Replacing love removing
expectations
I see once more, it is nothing
more
Can’t or even should I
Seek to love and shine
Yes if done without expectation
Then it is fine
cc: ramesh.rasaiyan - https://www.flickr.com/photos/22828405@N04
Here now against my wishes
It is really only a stone
Green cool smooth to the touch
Touching you
That is all and ever should be
Then one day soon
I will be gone
But then so will you
That too it should be
And nothing more
cc: Just Taken Pics - https://www.flickr.com/photos/63797645@N00
Here now against my wishes
My heart stopped beating
I no longer see
Nor touch nor feel
That small green cool polished
stone
I wish I had lived my life
Now that I lie here ready to
depart
This time was brief and quickly
passed
As if my eye only blinked
cc: PoshSurfside.com - https://www.flickr.com/photos/9243453@N02
Here now against my wishes
That breath I first took
Seems long ago
My mother, my father lay and
stood nearby
Whilst I cried and cried
My body covered then in the
Purest white fat of birth
Stretched and struggled in
recognition
That my life had then joined all
others
cc: marfis75 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/45409431@N00
Here now against my wishes
Held and holding too
My voice screamed while my
Legs and arms flailed away
Seemingly uselessly yet building
life’s strength
Oh Mama what have I done
To push my way here
Away from your living and loving
womb
Into this bright light of what is
now life
cc: get directly down - https://www.flickr.com/photos/65172294@N00
Here now against my wishes
Where am I now
Hearing faint sounds that obstruct
What until now I have always
known
The beating of your heart and the
gurgling of your womb
I don’t want to be here
Not in this foreign place
Please oh please I want only to
return
To your loving warm secure
embrace
cc: vishwaant - https://www.flickr.com/photos/20598313@N00
Here now against my wishes
Now, you say smiling
Dearest you are now free
To grow explore strengthen
And fill your life and more
Oh why oh why my heart beats
painfully
Do I fear this life I now face
No in fact I see and hear nothing
Nothing that offers solace beyond
your embrace
cc: Magdalena Roeseler - https://www.flickr.com/photos/84894254@N03
Here now against my wishes
Now I begin to feel
A quickening emptiness
Compelling more fears and cries
Even as I first smell your loving
happiness
What is that what is this
An oder a fragrance strange and
compelling
Fills my being offering
nourishment
Offering solace and your love
cc: sean dreilinger - https://www.flickr.com/photos/43927576@N00
Let me be with you forever
Please
