Long Inactivity Poems

I see a rose wilting by the darkness of an abusive husband/
And I feel guilty just standing by and not doing something/
I’m proving nothing with my inactivity and hollow words/
Truth is hard to swallow but...

spun …

the dust devil did
(unusually strong, that)
but instead of leaving another layer of
light-blocking powder
it cleaned the solar panels like
Windex and microfibre -
shiny … as new
thus, the cells absorbed the
sun’s best rays
drinking in photons like a

(Gen.  20: 3, 6  /  1 Kings 3: 5  /   Rev. 21: 1-6)


It Is A Beautiful Thing
To Be In GOD's Dream
For His Will & Dreams Come True

In the whispering silence of a moonlit night,
where stars wink like old friends,
I drift along the river of my thoughts,
an unbound stream of consciousness,
Flowing through the landscapes of potential and purpose,
where dreams dwell like forgotten...

We dance across the heavens, like shining stars,
to the never ending beat of our universes heart.
Its song, time – sometimes – becomes dull, grey,
aches of sentiment, in the throes of lofty sentimentality
that becomes red dew,...

What a year – Tim was just a little boy of 25 – naïve and

Lost in ‘innocence’ a critical time bomb waiting to happen

Blue-eyed he listened to Nena’s 99 Red Balloons flying high

While Band Aid...

There sneaked a micro organism into the lives of human kind from elsewhere,
Who made it intruded is still a mystery, yet it’s fate of the world
That life on earth is engulfed with thorns and bruises?

As I roll out of bed tomorrow
I’m gonna say goodbye sorrow
Fare thee well Mr. Cynicism
See you later Mr. Pessimism
Adios to Mr. Skepticism
Exit negativity, enter positivity
No procrastination and inactivity 
An idle mind is the devils workshop
That’s...

Are you sitting down? Sit here, momentarily in this chair.
Let me convey to you something so very important.
Your body is unhinged to get mended will be a feat.
You must consume these pills, then obey those...

My skin crawls as I watch a hand,
disembodied,
reach yet again into the Tollhouse bag.
Bright, artificial yellow. It burns my eyes.
Countless chocolate chips are shoveled down my gullet
as if crumbs to a wretched, starving creature.
I’m only...

After scary Halloween and its ghoulish pranks
November dawns with all-saint’s and all soul’s day
Carrying a pious note in the balmy wind
Along with the haunting memories of our dear departed

November parades herself in a riot of...

Things look differently in hindsight
Objects, ideas, and people can take on a life of their own
What once existed serenely now rears up on its scaly haunches
Breathing a most fowl and unpleasant exhalation
An all-encompassing shroud
Like an...

Pretty cunning how she captivates hearts of many,
Eyes of many, attention of many but acts like a maniac,
One glance of her makes many sleepless, not that she is a queen but a goddess,
Gives out a...

All kids have dreams
but as time passes dreams change
so what’s the thing about dreams?
dreams can make a difference in your life

Or maybe not

Dreams do carry you
for a while
but then reality speaks
and the call is heard

Hey...

‘Madness kills Insanity’


Melancholy daggers had struck him down again

Compressed a fragile state of festering fragments

Left behind on slow incisions ready for the kill


A crazy old man on death row of split darkness

Stripped to the core...

I look at the world through my lazy eye,
It's more unfocused than it seems,
I cross my heart and hope to die,
My life is higher than my dreams.

I pick and scratch to urge my brain,
To separate...

So many people help me.  They are concerned, they rush to see if I am okay.
They listen when I want to tell my truth. They do not call me out 
When I get outrageous....

I believe that, 

God is the benevolent Lord of the universe
And He is the creator of everything diverse
While love of God takes us to eternity
Love of man leads us to fraternity

We are responsible for what...

But I am Retired

By Elton Camp

From far too many old men that I know,
If wife wants help, this is how it will go
Because they have been put on the dole
Virtual inactivity had become the goal

Life teaches many a valuable truth,
That makes our existence one of worth.

Graying and growing old is no curse,
As experience directs life’s course.

See life as a mysterious puzzle,
And death as an inexorable struggle.

Know, hatred burns life...

My city has been abandoned
by royalty for vultures to defecate and Hyenas to spit on.
The large hole left is a huge hindrance to every emotional functionality
making inactivity a coveted blessing to this feeling
which was once...

This is an amazing exhortation
that comes from the apostle Paul
as it shows the importance to pray
and keep our eyes on the ball

Nothing can really be achieved
without being always in prayer
indeed it's the believers vital breath

Life alone unloved is a life unlived.
Do we dare let the truth go unbelieved,
The truth that Love is the only real guide,
Leaves the choice; to keep running or to hide.
To run and shadow your own...

Rose from her dreams

Flourished against centuries of inaction

Broke the spell of inactivity and

Showed the confident strength of maturity.

 

The cultural, the mature world

Crossed the eternal ocean of pain

But that disaster couldn’t stop her there

And she...
