Anyway
I listened
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....

Peacefully Asleep During Winter
earth tucked in warmly
fast asleep beneath white quilt -
snow float idly down

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!...

Epigram
Waiting For Love
I love you
Can’t you see that
My world is empty
Without you in it
Idly I sit alone
Waiting for you to come back
Idly I sit alone
Without you in it
My world is empty
Can’t you see that
I love you...

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

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....

Finishing Strong
Finishing Strong
Miracle Man
Sept. 4 2023
“It isn’t how you start but how you finish”,
so never sit idly letting time creep by.
Do meaningful things as your days diminish,
for God grants us no provision to retry.

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...

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...
