Best Inertia Poems

Washing away drab, dour and rotting elements,
falling rains cleanse our earth anew.
Sunlight returns to beam upon fresh, crisp nature.
I have begged the rain to pour newness on me,
but never does it heed my plea or grace my need.
Rain, I desperately beseech, please, as a cloud do burst
a purge of the thunderous fear, the stormy, stinging...

Inertia makes a monster of my
Self
I'm insatiable for making a 
Progress.
Move, don't just tell yourself
You will.
Set the rules, then transgress.
The rebel inside of you deserves
Respect.

You're what you eat, don't
Lick
Your wounds, turn up the heat
By a caress. Love the self-contained
Monster you possess.
Let it off its leash and you'll feel
How it surges in your breast.

It's no place...

A funambulist
Walks the tightrope
Between mind and heart ~ 
An error of judgement
Places love in jeopardy

Poets are the sense, philosophers the intelligence of humanity. ~ Samuel Beckett 

Line of enquiry: Newton’s First Law of Motion (Inertia): An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

POETIC INERTIA

As dreary working days stagger endlessly on
I’d like to run and reach the friendly Friday
At a speed only the flying time can reckon
For to waiting weekend it paves the pathway.

In the terminal two days of the week I get
Unshared time of my own to be with me
I sit by the window, see the sun...

For more than 10 years she sat at home in a state of inertia, longing for the things of the past, hoping that the past could be her future.  In doing so she gave up so many opportunities to discover and become who she was meant to be.  The wallow of self-pity that...

Days of longing, days alone,
hours and hours spent on you own
days of dreaming still alone
anxious just to hear the phone.

Nights are sleepless, endless too,
the rooster's call long overdue,
the noise unwelcome when first heard,
that slave to time, punctilious bird
with undue timing breaks the dream,
the one with hope to make it seem
much better, but purports to fake
a...

Image: Three
Cliché: Opposites Attract
Song:  Nothing Else Matter


Existence elapses with indifference
Technology replaces conversation 
Cooling the most romantic lovers 
Inertia to express human traits

Attraction search for qualities 
Possesed by recipient of affection
Merging two different souls
In an indissoluble bonding

Express true feelings without hiding
Behind a spurious appearance
Flow freely as the gentle zephyr 
Dance like you had never dance...

Let me bash tambourines and praise the mind-body continuum
Grind out the miles, suffer the sweat.
Find me a hill to break if only in my mind
The foot-step's prints on the macadam
Invisibility obscuring the pain I must have.
The anguish broken to bits again.
My ears pop with the inspiration of all ages.
My thighs approve though my calves complain.
For...

I was just here, alone 
Inactive and at rest 
Until the day you came 
I became something in motion. 
 
Someone I've called my own 
For me you are the best 
If this is just a game 
Then this will be my devotion 
 
You brought me to a zone 
North and south, east and...

Then that was it.

The days that lit up and went out to ash,
The mourning of the self whose throat I had slashed.

Like carbon resurrects,
Living and breathing in all its effects.
Something that blooms out of so much death,
The inertia that I have finally met.

The smoke cleared,
And there was a quiet that breached 
My thoughts,
Like the naked...

A short road back to misery
to self-loathing and acknowledgement of a cocoonish dystopia 
walked with rotten teeth, fending off fever dreams.

It has been a while since the void had consumed
the remnants of light within.
And yet the haggard desperation of building a dam
ushers back memories.

The carapace is familiar against the skin.
Animated with the life of its...

Blinding inertia bleeds extruding from your peripheries. Inverse cognition conjuring 
within your grasp. To accommodate the psyche beyond id, clarity overtakes the 
divine misdirection....

Short spates of workaholic spurts of frenzied work.
A burst of starlight
That ignites the black,
Blights the black,
Fights the black,
Rights the black
Until the dark silence returns,
Until the frantic moments
Are usurped 
By doldrums of daunting inertia,
A vast swathe of offensive nothingness,
A vapid vessel of pensive emptiness,
A quagmire of numbness,
Blindness, dumbness
And a brutal sense of futility....

the sun arises
so as not to surprise us
with freezing to death
mostly taken for granted
on this small circling planet

inertia reigns
within most things lacking brains
course remains the same
in daylight or deepest dark
be it stone atom or quark

things bend in the wind
time proven way to defend
avoid a dead end
better to guard what we've got
than contemplate a new start

not...
