Best Leisure Poems

Sunlight leaks
through the curtain
after I’ve thrown off the covers.
Downstairs the television flickers
as a roommate sleeps
on the couch.
He was talking politics
last night.
I went upstairs
and read a poem.
This morning
I walk into the kitchen
and turn off a dripping faucet.
The furnace hums
to fight off a chill.
The calendar says spring

Laying within 
warm arms
Gazing into your 
green eyes
Inexplicable 
your charms
You make my 
love arise

The warmth you 
always give
Leaves me alive
deep inside
No other way I 
could ever live
You give me so 
much pride

Never take your
love away
I will never take
mine either
Can't live without 
you I say
Take me...

Some seek leisure in the pristine wilderness
The solitary coast is the site of separateness
Each one is barred from harboring bitterness
The ocean thundering, roaring in its utterness
Nature fascinates me...

Happy as a dream
Blues skies perfect picnic smiles
Leisure stay teasing...

There once lived a woman called Lady-de Leisure, who turned not to men, but food for 
pleasure.
She ate everything spicy and sticky and sweet, the poor lady could not even see her poor 
feet. From dusk until dawn, all she would do was eat, drink,...

A dream vacation would be nice
All alone or with a little spice
Me, myself and I or a partner to ride
In the sky or on board
With some spice should I say more
You tour me and I tour you
Better yet let's tour the view
You never know what...

When I was a young boy,
The radio would blast in my ears…
I would cheerfully sing along to a new song…
Those memories come back to me like waves approaching me
I sang along with my mother by my side
She’s the driver and I’m on the passenger seat…
In...

A forsaken theme park, once a magic place
It’s hay day in the sixties, quaint and pretty 
To go there now you won’t find a friendly face
Strange outcasts on the outskirts of the city
Rumor's fly with grave warnings of fallen grace
Chase you with a smile, sinister...

I wandered on a journey, in search of treasure,
priceless far beyond any kind of menial measure.
After weeks of hard trekking, 258 miles due West,
on 6/25 I lost my 20/20  vision.  I needed a rest.

I was sick of the infernal heat on this tiring...

This in reference to the famous poem of William Davies ,"Leisure ": What is this life if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare...




Endless wait, a lonely window pane 
in a colorless world of corona despair
stop and paused, "poor life full...

One  calm evening
on a leisure  drive  with  my  wife
along  the Inphal-Dimapur
National Highway
I remembered 
my overnight  road journeys
to Guwahati for office work,
sometimes together with  her
before retirement a decade ago.
Tedious journeys
riding through the winding hilly roads
of Manipur and Nagaland
yet...

Dog days endure

The happy summers beneath the turquoise skies
Unclouded sun as blazing chandelier comes to go glorify
Showering rays plentiful than august rains
Blooming bluebells roses in this season beautify

Stretching out for lounging in the pools
As earth's proximity to dog star sirius sucks away the cool
Childhood returns...

Marble-sided buildings sunk in the sand
Jumped 40 glassy stories on command.
Everyone thinks life is nothing and money’s grand.
Rolling chair hawkers spiel and cutely chide
Sunday suited daddies to pay for their brides.
So, a cavalcade of marmalade mommies ride, 
(Fatted infants firmly holstered at each side),
Tossing constant...

With an open heart and a loving mind
Affection flowing from my grateful pores,
The sight that so beautifully spends my time,
Children laughing and playing out of doors.
Here I sit soaking in adoring sun,

Children playing silly games in my drive,
Having a world of good, clean fun
Innocent hopefulness...

Confused by DVD interactivity,
Lost in soulless Internet chat-rooms,
Spied on by precision satellites,
Tracked down by mobile phone texters,
Hit by multi-media bombardment,
Tied up with twisted video tape,
Engulfed by ephemeral nothingness,
Brain awash with binary,
Consumed by CD ROM gigabytes.

Call me stuck in the past,
Say I’m not cool, but cold,
Because...
