I stand here idly and stare
At timber towers...

Not meaning to
Just idly listened
To her
As she softly counted
The stars

A black cat, sat along the tracks,
With Idly yellows eyes,
Eyes which awaited a woeful train that never passes by....

Premium Member Lazy Snooze Alarm
The sun looked tired this morning
Yawning stretched shadows over silent birds
Teasing nighttimes sleeping flowers
As its lazy snooze alarm hummed idly

Kiwi
Like a man at confession,
I admit I was wrong;

letting the Kiwi loll
idly long.

Now they are soft
as a cotton ball;

against God's law
we are nothing at all....

the death index is at a Chi-town high
while Mayor Lightfoot stands idly by
she refused to hold court
with Caucasian reporters
stomping white folk while black people die...

Infectious By Hafiz
Infectious!
by Hafiz
loose translation by Michael R. Burch

I became infected with happiness tonight
as I wandered idly, singing in the starlight.
Now I'm wonderfully contagious—
so kiss me!...

Premium Member Nor Copper Nor Silver
  drained of emotion
    idly-mouthed words
  raised fists with no punch
    meanings vacuous, blurred

  carousels of zombies 
    stare through his soul
  nor silver nor copper
   winged horses of gold

Premium Member Breakthrough
A breakthrough was imminent,
Exhilaration ensued;
  Ships listed idly,
  The HEAVENS were still.

A press conference was called,
Adrenaline spoke well.
   Ere a headline's created
   Ought the SEA not to swell?...

Fossil
I found a fossil hiding 
near something overgrown,
a historical handprint etched 
in a slab of ancient stone.

I trace the imprint idly
and marvel at its design-
the grooves coil and curve around,
and then become entwined....

A Living Nightmare
Crimson colored floor
Stained from the night before
Eyes frozen wide open
Just like he left the front door

Fear is consuming,
Slowly shredding my mind away,
Pieces of my life fall before me,
As I idly start to decay....

Premium Member Season of the Butterfly
I could just sit idly by watching the world hurriedly pass
Sit and watch butterflies sup
Nectar from nature's drinking cups
Flowers of trumpet shape
Hold nectar there is no mistake
Butterflies dine from all these beauties
Giving as they take...

Premium Member Vagrant
Vagrant thoughts
Hang about the corners
Of my mind
Idly tormenting each other
Daring
At least one
To take hold
Take shape
Cast a shadow
On the unknown.

Reverie
Sitting idly by the river with a fishing rod in my hand A timeless afternoon spent in reverie, eyes benumbed Watching cloudlets floating across distant mountaintops I find myself all hooked up, writhing happily in the sand.

Home
Your warm skin wakes me
Like a gentle breeze after the thaw.
My days like a porch swing idly soaking up the sun.
Swimming in your deep gaze 
then wrapped in your embrace.
Time blooms in blinding color  
as withered leaves fall and hide the road behind me....

Randomling 27: Pills
Depression is days and nights curled fetal-like
in a dark room, with no interest in the world outside.
idly wondering if there are enough
pills in the bottle to kill you, 
then thinking it's not worth the effort
to find out  because you're dead inside already....

Stubborn
In pastoral lands
With green fields abound
And high hilltops to search and explore
The old man sheep stubbornly stands
All alone in wind and rain
The shepherd looks on and idly wonders
Whether the wether, will weather the weather,
or whether the wether will not...
