Inertia Poems - Poems about Inertia

Inertia

Inertia is a crawling, grappling feeling. 
With eyes. 
And the eyes do nothing. 
Neither his or mine. 

Inertia is mine. 
A glass feeling. 
Attempting to do things. 
Just peeling away instead. 

Inertia. 
A feeling of depression. 
And if you challenge it?
It darts away.

Inertia churns. 
Tumbles. 
Then your eyelashes peel apart. 
Nothing anymore. 

Inertia is someone…
Who

Deep within me, I feel inertia as a slow dance of stars trapped in their own light

Deep within me, I feel inertia as a slow dance of stars trapped in their own light,
A Higgs field enveloping my soul like a heavy cloak of particles and burdened dreams,
This terrain of life keeps me from falling into the core of uncertainty,
Preserving me from becoming ash, an echo of an existence passed through the

To Overcome Inertia

An object, once it’s resting tends to stay there, it is true.
Forgetting its priorities and all it needs to do.
To be a man in motion, a dream of awesome bliss…
To be a force that no one can resist…

 	To overcome inertia and not lie there where I fell.
 	To shake free of my shackles and

So restless was Isaac Newton
with physics laws had so much fun
Defining the inertia of truth
shows he was quite a sleuth

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.

Fear of Failure

Just as you make me proud
I want to make you proud too
But I don't know what I doubt
That keeps me shackled to the ground
And prevents me from achieving my goals
Fear of failure grips me tight 
As I fight to loosen its grasp
It has over my mind and soul
Dragging me down to depths of despair 
Holding

Laziness

My heart and mind don't align
I yearn for dreams to yield but vegetate
Putting off things for the very next day
My willpower is always at its lowest
Laziness floods my habits and goals
Until I drown in unsuccess.
The bed, so invitingly soft 
It tempts me into a languid slumber
While a half-finished coffee mug 
Sits cold on my window

Inertia

I’ve been here so long 
In, around and passing by.
 
Then,
There you were.
 
At first you seemed out of place,
Like your presence was almost contrived.
Once, I'd have called it cosmically inspired 
But I'd learned to dismiss such thoughts.
 
Yet,
There you were.
 
As if you'd been there longer than me,
Moss gathering, no rolling for you.

Inertia

She was discovered in 1705; From Latin:
lack of skill, slothfulness. Obviously, not
a quality to be desired on one's resume.

I do not recall when first encountering her,
but there was something special about the
sound of her three-syllable flow. INERTIA
[ in-ur-shuh, ih-nur- ]. No, it was not the
sight of her, so mesmerizing to my eyes.
Rather, there was a

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

Come What May

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

Inertia

Unspoiled autumn age
Anon ridge my god picks way
Strong buck bears his burdens high

I soul-less, hunt sight 
Forest warmth and bounty hoard
Resting only in god’s ruins

Edward Ibeh

Inertia

He sits there stone-still,
eyes closed. "The world's still turning,
Husband! When will you arise?"

What is this state called?
He says it’s meditation,
but I think it’s inertia.

INERTIA

I seek nirvana sitting still
to prey upon a silent cloud 
without a color save for dun

its shapes that mingle as they will
likened to a comely face
awaiting color from the sun

where sounds are mute with just my sight
an aimless trek meanderng
an omen cautioning a sign

and darkness enters in the night
with just the gist of loitering
now Buddha’s

Inertia

Wheel of time turns fast
Life’s carriage speeds on whirlwind
At the edge of sunset sky
Through settled gold dust
Inertia will drive my will.
I’ll walk last mile in twilight.
