Best Leisured Poems

 Black Hole Beauty

Stay calm my beating heart for you will enter the vastness of the void
Consumed by a blackened bestial bliss that the demons have deployed
She comes amidst the narcissistic night devouring love like a humanoid
A conqueror of time and space the light before...

Born, far aloft on highest peak,
of glaze caressed by golden glow,
through ancient sculpted rock she seeks
fair journey forth to glens below.


Cool innocence; a virgin stream
unfurls her charm at leisured pace;
a bracken shaded lover’s dream
meanders on with gentle grace.


O’er highland slopes she carves her name
and tastes...

in Pando's shadow a young maiden sings
wander'd to and fro peat bog feet sloshing
auburn locks adorned in daisy crowned rings
quite unaware that something was watching 

one with thick skinned carion heart at core
to scavenge Middlemist's red camellia
he too delivered from far away shores
a renaissance ratel...

Foot on the gas
No time to slow down

Paddling harder
Not wanting to drown

Reaching for oxygen 
Atmosphere's thinner

Still in the race
Eat the dust of the winner 

Adventure not waining
For some skiing off piste

Soulful confessions?
Time to contact a priest

There's life in the old dog
Though the snow on the...

Gypsy soul born a wandering way
Bearer of passion age old and new
Who can tame your unbridled day
And live as Romani's do

Calloused hands speak not complaint
Who's bearings steer by twilights cue
A leisured life such charm forsake
To walk as Romani's do

To bitter end thine heart defend
For right...

full on leisured day 
blue sky, cool water,sunset

On a Day Like Today
    by Amy Swanson 12/2008


On a day like today,
    I just want to scream.
This day is so cold!
    I'd much rather day-dream...

...of a small tropic island
     where sun...

SYMBOLS OF SUNDAY

The Ille de Grande Jatte sans noise
filled with poise,a posie-in-paint.This
divisionist dog-day,a second of time
frozen in mime;a slow-motion frame
of a social game.The Seine sleeping
sailors boating,youngsters rowing
a lady fishing.trumpeter trilling,dogs
sniffing midst sunshades swishing.
A promenade peopled,gentility
strolling,watching,then,standing
still,and,taking their fill.A leisured
moment from toil,passitivity
possessed dressed  yellow,orange 
with green...

Like the oyster keeping its mouth fastened with pearl,
Her locket was calm with pearl of secret, treasured;
Link has loosened somewhere? Nerve got numbed? Sudden whirl…?
Once psychologically bound has now leisured...?

She held it to her heart; right hand clasping it tight,
Haven't her life-time dreams and hopes...

AN ECLECTIC ENIGMA 1
The rhythm of life,spontaneous
and easy,lively & special a touchstone
of the ephemeral.An all embracing delight
imagination made manifest of stray
objects.Inspired informality,of
leisured elegance,a pervading
atmosphere of a coherent whole.
Quiet& simple charm in divine
eloquence,perfection in simple
continuity to bring a shared rapture.
Inspired by Jim Ede’s collection of artworks

What on earth did I do to deserve this fate ?
From my insouciance I  awoke much too late.

'Tis to Tomi  now in exile on the Black Sea
Augustus in his wisdom has condemned me.

Julia's company and that poem where I erred
Removed me from the...

Funny how time and tide doth turn
For a fool who tries to mask a burn
In smile, in laugh, pretended peace
While maggots feast in leisured ease.

I knew my doom was tightly sealed
The day I dreamt the dreamless dream
I watched my spirit caged and wheeled
Away beyond the...

In the earliest of morning light
When birds have not yet taken flight
The sun so low a shadows’ might
Escapes an eagle perfect sight

When the earth in leisured chill
Each valley dank along each hill
And longing stripped of lovers' will
With every dreamer dreaming still

An angel through that black...

Slow and serene could I walk at the jheel 
If wore on my visage a pleasant smile, 
Relaxed to core, deep-set laity to feel, 
When weary thoughts were left behind to pile. 
A seed of joy within sprouts peace and love, 
What a perennial source...
