All We Have is Now
In so many areas of living,
success is timed & measured.
Moments that are the most giving?
Those that are heartfelt & treasured.

Wrote a poem mid-dream I dismissed as funny...
but maybe it is the solution?
Is this world peace?
'A soldier is a child
extending an arm
given metal instead
of cone
cold of heart
rather than snow-
pastry lips,
you wouldn't, I wouldn't
we wouldn't scream,
if they just gave them ice-cream'

Often I ask
'what's there to write about?'
so now I'll ask back
'how's that #relevant?'
If I'm needing of theme
it'll come in a dream,
but the main thing I lack
is the self-esteem
to #gaslight myself
to think I'm good enough
to write even when
the words are sounding rough.

I am a citizen of the library,
living between War and Peace
and Prinde and Prejudice.
At the weekends, I go hiking
in the tsundoku mountains.
In sleepless nights I search
the #bookcase for the volume
with my name on it.

Oh I remember
Adam Ant
a golden age
of new romantics
Prince Charming
A pirate look
a flash across his face
fine and dandy’
when ruffles and lace
were all the rage
Stuart Leslie Goddard
was his real name
batshit crazy but
the nicest guy you'll ever meet.

Valentine remembers
the old days
It wasn't great
There was no love
no compassion no safety
then you ran away from "home"
It was just fear and abuse
And God watched all of it
the old days
It wasn't great
There was no love
no compassion no safety
then you ran away from "home"
It was just fear and abuse
And God watched all of it
Guzlowski remembers
the old days
It was great
There was no TV
no books no novels
no magazines
It was just him and God
And he was His pencil

#adamant in my belief
that despite the darkness
there is always hope
for a better tomorrow
all of the doomsayers
and the cynical souls
cannot see it
but I still do.

To be #adamant, steadfast, unwavering, uncompromising despite epistemic uncertainty—is a quality I deeply respect.
Are you in the "We shall overcome" timeline?
Today's prompt is "adamant".
Now follow @madp03t.bsky.social (erudite wit, #prompt) & write together in #blueSkyRelay, 11/26-12/2/2025.
