Best Absorbed Poems

It has been quite a while 
since inspired pen has met with paper
Minutes have dripped into days
inspiration has become a stranger
I have so many gorgeous pens 
yellow, gold, blue, purple, black
My instruments perfectly lined
yet my thoughts I can't unpack
As I grasp for clear ideas
they slip...

TELL me, dear, everything which occupies you
LAY each piece out, display your soul
SELL me utterly all components, oldest to new
SAY absolute etirety, without any toll

FEEL my hands reaching musty content gently 
DRAWN out painlessly, your dark place
REVEAL shame and sins as though incidentally
TORN from humiliation...

Absorbed,
as sun strips slow
her gown of midnight blue,
caressing warm, the land and sea;
the tree.

Tree welcomes each drip
Rain hangs on leaf, awaits fate
Lucky ones absorbed...

this looming life of solitude
left listening to your woes
a dark depressing melody doth it compose
I whisper words that wander wearily
my voice escapes thine ears
solitary without sympathy
dealing in your reprimand 
my voice you hear
my meaning you do not understand...

My feelings for today
Are some people just display
Total disregard for others

In a confined space
With many people in place
All you can think about is You

Aware only of yourself
Complete dismissal for anyone else
Where does such arrogance come from?

You feel superiority to the rest
No compassion do you possess
How...

Smelly Stuff Absorbed 

There are many words for those excrements that appear on the fabric in
incremental solid and deliquescent motions because ingestion fulfils that
autonomous need to shed ablutions but here I declare ‘Waste not Want not’

Whatever notion ‘**** happens’ frivolously or weighing heavy on one’s...

(Parody of "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love)

Come stay with me and be my maid
and once a month you will be paid.
("under the table" it will be;
no taxes taken out by ME!)
You’ll clean the toilets and make my bed,
and see the kids and pets get...

The voice of love was melded by the screams unheard
And was abided by the iniquity that kept on saying,
The breaking away time was felt by the weeping unobserved
And was shammed by the smiles that kept on retelling,
The engulfed days of zests by the writings left...

Robins and sparrows and chickadees,
A hummingbird or two.
Their bird song puts my soul at ease
Dispelling mood of blue
As I listen and absorb the view.

Grassy green the poetry is
From the inks of the pen's bodies
As the velvet mat on the plain ground bliss

Tilting, oscillating hither to thither
Covering, swaying thru the swift air
Touching the dales gazing zigzag layer

Ants and grasshoppers are busy with works
Passing the roots without any barks
Stitching the...

To think is to feel
and my mind tells me now,
when my heart beats,
it's real.
Still, I don't know how
you can move from my body
to my heart, to my mind
with grace - endless passion
one's unlikely to find.

Absorbed in your mystery.
Consumed by your thoughts.
Discovering planes in which
I could...

absorb my tears oh river of life
carry them to oceans by and by
to every sweet creature let them drink
and allow this weary soul to sink

my eyes grow ever anxious to pour
relief and reverie to your silent shore
may living waters carry forth my pain
streams rising in...

Silence
oppressively descends
in dead depressing despair

And, impressively ascends
in tingling anticipation,
pregnant with delighting participation

Ecstasy itching with silent invitation
bicameral co-passioning revolution

Optimally resilient night through day,
day in night voices,
night to day listening
in tingling resonant silence,
music,
dance,
motion, 
emotion,
intention....

Talking. Talking. Talking. At first it is fun, maybe even entertaining.
You are not sure exactly sure when it turns, but it does.
Suddenly the monopolizer’s ramblings no longer seem charming.
Patience worn thin, you try a few times to interject a word.
There is no pause, no break....
