Lethargy Poems - Poems about Lethargy


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...

Premium Member the terrace
I fell asleep outside, on Lisa’s windy, 50th floor terrace. It was indulgent, sensual and lethargic - it crushed. I forgot the time. The sunset was intense, a violent shock of color, like an existential smack in the face. I felt a lot of joy. I’m feeling optimistic. We leave for New Haven tomorrow. I believe in the future. Leeza popped her head out of the glass...

Rampant Lethargy
R is for the repeated distortions of facts, A for press articles written with hacks, M for the emphasis placed on survival, P for the piss taken out of your rival. A for analogies that never convince, N for false narratives making us wince, T for traditional values cast-off That cause umpteen scholars and clergy to scoff. L is for...

Our Life In the Apartments

God shifts his weight and half an oak remains. One soul must die; another life retains. I stand a little shaky now. raise my hand, put drops in my eye, A sort of palsy visits me I let the blood sport play, yet wonder why pause until I am no longer faint. At times my body fools me, like...

Stagnant Man
You are just not, concerned about growth You do what you want, but don't push envelopes Won't go beyond, or outside comfort zones You are a man that's stagnant You stick to routines, and do the same things Refuse to do anything new, yeah that's weak Can not push boundaries, as a creature of habit You are...

Premium Member My Enthusiasm Sometimes Dies
I went to my art studio to view my latest paintings, because frankly, I had completely forgotten what I was working on, or whether I was working on anything. I recognized none of the paintings on first glance, then one of the skies rang a bell. I remember adding too much glitter and being annoyed with myself. They are...

Sonnet - Midwestern Lethargy
I am deprived of my old sweet relief, Turning the page but turn to the leaf. I spill out myself to sanction some space To which I can return, try to compensate. Contemplate and complicate my own design I find this a fate to which I cannot resign. Soaking in the petrichor of each night, Of every solemnly forsaken fight. Each decision and...

Awakening From Winter's Lethargy
Folks in rural Pennsylvania think that Punxsutawney Phil is, by all means, that happy and friendly groundhog that predicts the beginning of spring on a forest log; he's very smart and looks friendly when he wags his tail. If his prognistication is right everybody applauds, and awaits the arrival of the harmonious season; what if he refuses to...
