Best Carefree Poems

Today we are having fun at the sea
Mummy and daddy, Tommy and me.
White topped waves tickle our toes
Salty sea water splashes our clothes.
Mummy and daddy are relaxing on the beach
Tommy and I play happily, not far out of reach.
The weather is cold and clouds block...

Sometimes I wish I didn't care
Wish I could just walk away 
Without feeling like 
A traitor 
Without feeling like 
A quitter

They don’t even know 
My clandestine battles 
They don’t even know
The smile on my face 
Is my weapon
Against the world 
And it's opinion 

To be...

Looking deep into your invitingly, 
warm, brown eyes, I suddenly felt 
intoxicated, as if I were drunk,
Drunk, dizzy, and unbalanced,
Unbalanced, I stumbled right into an 
old tree,
Tree, it wasn’t any old tree; it was 
the tall palm tree, our secret meeting 
place.

Place, a heart-shaped rose...

When reminiscing, I can clearly see
		two laughing teenage girls who cruised carefree.
 		Life showed her gentle, smiling side as we 
		shared dreams and secrets to the nth degree
		and danced away most days quite happily.

Today, I will
Be carefree
Will go to the park
Nurture with Mother Nature
And hug a tree
The shade of the tree
Will comfort me
I will laugh, sing
And dance
As if nobody
Is watching me
I will meditate
Be childlike
And express
My gratitude
Towards Mother Nature
That is what
I am going to do
To set my soul free...

At times my heart longs for
Those days of carefree youthful
 Play when my most pressing thought
Was which game to play next

I would leave my house and
Be gone all day with my cousins
And friends all day we would play

Climb trees go fishing ride our bikes 
come...

Wake up in the afternoon, I go to sleep at two,
I'm spending all my time just wasting time, nothing else to do,
Too doo, too doo.

I'm looking for a part time job, but (ha) not very hard,
'Cause I've got better things to do than do better...

Lovely blossoms of bougainvillea
Under a moonlight serenade 
Ostensibly I contemplate the root
Of the affinity drawing me to you
Abiding fighter and bounteous lover
Rendering your essence freely
For the love of the gift
Candid without a care
Asking for less than nothing really
A few drops of water enough for sustenance
You...

Not marked on any mapped out town
found where the country is green and brown,
not on the gray, concrete corner of Main
can you find your way to Daisy Lane

No need to search for any road signs
just follow to a place where the sun shines,
and somehow always...

he floated in mid air
feet never touching ground
refusing responsibility
for his destiny

a drifter
open to anything
a puppet

never occurring to him
he could
at any moment
grab the reins

i see you strutting
your long flowing hair
miniskirt and heels
swaying with swagger
content with your lot in life
i try to picture you
twenty or thirty years from now
and can’t help but hope
life never drags you down

Do you see the rain dance
no drop at a still stance,
pitter pattering all around
bouncing back to the ground

Steady there while you sit
as atop your head they hit,
each one is an invitation
and a newfound inspiration

No more need to stay inside
or under an umbrella hide,
simply set your...

At times,
When my mind looks for a reason, 
To stop reasoning and be free, 
From the clutches of
Mindful and meticulous decision making
Of everyday life, 
It feels great and relaxing, 
To be carefree and 
To randomly pick and muse
On these two words:
'At Random'.

sordid floors
dark paths
lily scented nights 
crispy country air
crackling fireplaces
shadows under the moon
sounds of the night
silence in the dark
mingling
tangoing 
in perfect pitch 
the harmonious beat
of intoxicating drums
the twirling dance
of dizzying 
village 
love...
