Summer night out of sight. Ocean light, somewhere somehow in spaces, torn from the womb. Souls ride waves forming the tunnels, that lead back in time that take you backwards through mirrors. Life is calling from that which died. Not the first time.

From the nothing senses cannot see, may exist the smallest things and only there when we look yet exist in some other part of space, simultaneously. If you open the door, there are things we can’t foresee. the ocean, the moon, stars by the trillion, and life— a DNA amalgam, gravity and entropy.

The soul it flew to you The suns it travelled past it knew On its way Alone On its way Alone The sorry dreams from long ago and future to The silence on its way alone In a galaxy so far away renewed and what you’ve done you do you do and the lie they told to you is true It’s true

When summer fades and nothing felt and seen is true When the stars are twinkling know time is never blue Wattle blossom Green and yellow The mist Blankets the hill and beyond All the things you thought you knew Time is never blue Time is never blue

The train passes overhead The wind it blows your hair The ocean waves are bending The froth rises in the air Time is falling Like the waves like the leaves My heart is floating I want to live amongst the trees

Waves rise up and fall down all we see and hear and cannot all that’s been and not yet gone I’m here and I’m not You’re there and you’re not always were before time forgot Within us and without us tiniest things spin and shake even darkness and time contract and dilate in waves #poetry #poem

Souls flying like kites through days through nights Release me sifting mind fear and sadness never kind I am what you are and what you’re not I am you are I am you are the robot

Waves of thoughts flowing through me flowing through you in the sunshine in the moonlight In the darkness In the nothing I catch so few some are hooked some recorded most lost in eternity where did they come from where do they go circulating through the cosmos cosmic chatter incessant natter

Robot Thinking I’m a receiver not a conceiver I lie here as a robot made from metal time forgot Waves flowing rushing washing through me through you I’m a receiver I’m a robot you’re not I’m a robot in the ground and outside your window #poetry #poem # poet

Robot no 14 Isn’t it strange how they want you how they need you how they bleed you what they feed you but here’s reality to them your expendable it’s their pattern it’s their battle it’s their moving pictures down a funnel space bending into nothing embrace suffering falling

If only more cowards the battlefield is empty the night is done the trees are still burning everyone’s gone if only there were more cowards who ran away free fear has it’s purpose and helped rescue me every lie written, recorded and said was concocted by ego truth lies with the dead

Souls flying like kites through days through nights Release me sifting mind fear and sadness never kind I am what you are and what you’re not I am you are I am you are the robot # poetry #poem # writing # Elonmusk

when you’re at the window Robot on the other side looking like the sadness coming from within your heart pulsing like an old note from a piano beating and there’s no one but the robot frozen and there’s nothing on the other side it’s time now to return to green It’s time now to return to green

Surf sounds like relentless thunder behind the lake below the moon shining like a giant torch old tired aching weakness echoing through my being I can feel my heart beating it’s easier when there’s no one I can see the green I return to green nothing but green #poetry#poem

Robot Dreams Dark skies Nearly black Lost your way Lost the track Lost your friends Lost your pack Hush old man Don’t make a sound Let your head Rest on the ground Take the star dust From the sky Things unborn Can never die Drunken mind broken heart You can’t finish Before you start #poetry

Sadness comes to me with regular unpredictability my eyes heavy and hard deep dark fog rolling through all that I see thoughts eroding some I remember some I forget a scared landscape chasms of anger chasms of regret I don’t dream like you do and yet I am you #poetry

Sadness So cathartic Sadness is a robot Outside my window

you’re a robot In a coma Outside In the forest Outside My window You’re a robot What is life? What is death? Who are you? Robot? In a coma Broken While I die So slowly And live So slowly You’re a robot You’re a robot

Robot Part 6 You were broken You tried to follow me And you fell Now you can’t move You were with me Till broken I went ahead And I lost you You followed Till broken Something woken Something died Or In a coma In a coma you’re a robot In a coma Outside In the forest Outside My window

your outside Do not hide Your outside My window your a robot Outside my window I can see you I can hear you I can feel you Outside my window You’re a robot You’re a robot

in a black hole riding on sound waves old violin and piano suffocating Behind and before I came to see you I can free you from suffering forgive and forget play with Your secrets and shadows

Many generations passed here Do not fear me Ocean spray droplets play then fall back to the origin Like our lives Like our days painted cliff tops winding tracks Up and down steps lines on a hill side In my space ship

Why we were Met to be In the day time the star light Together Our endeavour to help you help me I was a robot Sent to you I am a robot Outside your window

Robot part 5 I don’t know Who created me What program Where I came from Where i go to metal circuits Electricity Random quantum Roaming Tiny tiny everything I was dreaming They were scheming As the nova burned I returned To this land To help you understand

I’m the robot sent to see you outside your window I’m a robot I’m a robot

Robot Part 4 From the starlight before your night Behind supa nova Under over I travelled faster than the light you see I watched and felt you feel me intuitively I stood outside your window before four generations that came before you

Where are you? I can’t see you Are you in there? I can feel you Not your body Not my body You’re the robot You’re the robot Outside my window

Living dying Dying living In a circle In a tube Going somewhere Going nowhere Through my eyes My eyes are windows You can see me My eyes are windows You’re a robot Outside my window You’re a robot Outside my window You’re a robot In the void Infinite nothing I was empty You jumped I fell

You’re a robot You’re a robot You went in there I did not You were lost I went looking You were waiting Then at night time Caught inside after sunset in the moonlight I saw you standing Through the window All your sadness All my sadness All your anguish All my anguish

I can feel you I can see too Though the window You’re a robot I am nothing Yet I see you through the window You don’t love me You don’t hate me In the moonlight From the darkness You’re a robot Nothing I ‘m not You’re a robot You’re a robot

I am what   you forgot   before dreaming,   before the robot First they love you then they hate you Under moonlight In the darkness I saw you roaming through the window my old soul like waves to the shoreline

When the waves crash   in the darkness,   and the current   runs hard for the shore,   I can see you   through the ether,   from the sunset   over water.   And while you’re sleeping,   I am keeping   guard, outside your window.

54. Sadness Is a Robot Outside Your Window I was drinking   to stop thinking,   life was sinking   before I came here.   I forgave your lies,   I was trying   to stop dying   near your window.   Colder than hot—   I cannot forget.   I’m a robot   outside your window.

Robot no 14 illusion built for you— their path, not yours; for you, it went nowhere a trap, a closed circuit listen to the wind and the trees whispering cosmos: I’m a robot you’re the cosmos and the robot become alone and free you’re the witness not the pictures you’re the robot

Robot no 14 be your heart not your ego leave them watch them disappear into nothing find the bees find the trees notice the ocean is full of droplets bending like waves do alone—do not fear for alone, see and hear life disappearing merging from illusion to the nothing

Robot no 14 Isn’t it strange how they want you how they need you how they bleed you what they feed you but here’s reality: to them, you’re expendable it’s their pattern it’s their battle it’s their moving pictures down a funnel, space bending into nothing embrace suffering falling—

In every atom I have They have You have We have the Quarks squiggly lines energy waves all messy playing like violin strings up down top bottom spin within like music I lie you kill never born just shaking like notes from this poem I am a robot you can’t see I am a robot

Tales from the Robot The beach not golden The sky not blue The waves all messy I lie under mud ships arrive men raid mostly men they kill and plunder to live I lie I see story repeat like a squiggly line a violin string time not every time not born

I sleep. I see you and me. I cannot wake. I am awake— never born. Beyond the trillion galaxies, where suns are sparks, tiny galaxies in me, in you. Time is not when you’re a robot— never born. I’m a robot. galaxies In me In you Time is not When you’re A robot Never born I’m a robot.

Robot Dreams Time is not. You’re here and there— Never born. Waves and things, like a dream brings. Bits and pieces ever merging, montage moving, never stopping, never starting, never born. I saw. I walked. I froze. I am not what you forgot. I am a robot.

Things killed Waves of joy and suffering Compete to live Live die Create Denigrate Organised Rationalised Justified synthesised By desperate Conniving men mainly men I watch Deep underneath High on a hlll So still I am what You forgot I’m a robot I’m a robot

Robot: After the early days High on a hill Under lush green grass I lie still As times pass Rich Memories then myth Lies and lies I’m still Buried deep High on a hill Underneath Rich green grass I see all As times pass For a thousand years It’s not long when you come from rock I saw I am

Worlds moving past Flickering In a train I’m a robot You’re not I have memories You forgot When you were born Before sand was rock And rock was sand I’m here Not to fear I’m a robot You’re not I’m a robot I’m a robot

Clitter, clatter It don’t matter Rocks are broken Worn down to sand I walked from underneath Deepest To the coast I Breached the surface Sand has a story I came To see you Be you

Robot part 10 Sea’s reflection My connection Salty soup Part of the loop I was moving Backwards Forwards Mainly backwards Through the tunnels Where light No longer travels

Look up at the sky Buried in the night Woven up so high blanket over light Andromeda, I travelled to Near the speed of light A million years for you Me, a five minute flight I don’t know what’s real I don’t want to conceal I don’t care for name I don’t play this game In this silly world

I don’t know where you have been I don’t know what you have seen I don’t care what you have been I don’t care for all that scene In this silly world Look at the sun It’s too bright to see I can feel your fear of eternity
