Long Placidity Poems

With lone intent, all freedom it will wrest
if obstinance you let these wolves deny.
As tonnage sinks beneath the torrid crest
your struggles for survival magnify.
Each flailing ship that ferries surety
is fodder for the fathoms of abyss.

Restlessness in youth,
placidity in the golden age...
do these two conflict
with the pace of motion
that desolation can assuage?
If being young means 
persisting in ambition,
an event of gratification,
venturing in fearless projects,
taking risks and walking through Hell;
is it...

I tranquility
I’m calm
I restfulness
I’m peace and quiet
Peacefulness I am
I quiet in quietude
I’m silence
I’m soundlessness a hush
I’m calm
In the calmness of the Lord
PEACE


Stillness still am I
Privateness seclusion in mine solitude
Isolation retirement
Freedom from interference
Mental calm in mind...

Bully me, yours truly 
never ordained, gifted, or blessed
with mien mean characteristic
evoking, jump/kickstarting,
representing, nor zapping
friend or foe courtesy fiery intimidation
if anything aura, charisma, dogma, and karma
emanating, issuing, and oozing out
body electric of one heretofore bookish...

Life is not always filled with cloying contentment.
There are taunting trials and things I'd rather not do.
Those tedious tasks that steal my smiles and my time,
but not the joy of life's most endearing moments 
found...

I comfortably position
     derriere with pride
(all cheekiness ass side)
lightly seat dated, inside
ideally with bifocals removed,
     recalling "Plato's allegory of the caves,"
     where everything...

The clamor of an ordered life;
The ticking of a clock—
The babble of ambition;
The clatter of the day.
So for the sake of quietude
Traveled I alone, and far...

Spent I a winter’s night in the woods
To hear the...

written a long time ago

Aghast
Sans shutting the dresser fast
Lest drawing to cloths to the past.

Akin to dredging up sedimentary muck
That metaphors me whence getting stuck
During adolescence – which lasted decades 
each 'n to barreling driverless...

A Perfect Company
By: Noel N. Villarosa


They are the big fish in a small pond
They received kudos and power widely
With their bunch of fives used as their wand
They dominate while sitting idly

Been tasked in carrying coals...

Worry shadows my mind
In flavors of panic
Anxiety and concern
A rich well of apprehension
Flooding my hope for serenity

Disquiet flows through my veins
In crimson agony
On waves of fearful plans
Fretting on the heart
Who troubles every thought

Uneasiness exaggerates 
My...

Listening, reaching for the Ideal,
her wanderlust- devoid of fear
Seeking the truth-
The Mother- crying for a thousand years
Of all the pain
Inflicted- 
They are killing Her in every way

Carcinogenic ants raging wars 
Creating immortal scars, 
Killing Her...

I still remember the first time I met
You and i said to myself not yet
And now i got to live with regret
For not accepting for free the gift
Of everlasting peace and tranquility
A life filled with...

It's a telltale sign of hell's punishment
Hear it in the wind, the fool's lament
The storm is taking its lasting form
Slowly the highest heavens are thorn

Thunder roaring like proudest lion
Barely a man in disguise of buffoon

The difference in saying you,
a great big unseen pointed finger, or we.
I didn’t know. Some figurines
wave while others scrutinize with wizened eyes.
The analytic panics, hairs raised by static.
The simple leans in to catch butterflies. One...

Resolutions 
 
New Year’s resolutions
are meant to be broken
as soon as we realize
that deprivation and muscle strain
are not our natural state,
and that a comforted body
yields placidity of mind.
 
 
The Relationship

I can only think of you
with exasperation
at the...

The Dignified Doorman 

In the thirties when fish factories in my town closed, the sardines 
didn’t swim near shore, they swam further into deep the ocean.
Perhaps collective memory told them not to go near the...

Moving ridges - blue, green salty de-bree
Lightly, sweep the beach;
As inland rolls the sea

All species, shapes shells' species,
Tumble to shore, scoured by wind, by sand
Frothed, hi-lo crests, toss, create odd creases

Ocean sounds, subdued to loud
Galaxies...

I cannot sleep so through the aperture I look,
The crescent shining a marvellous bright
The scenery as if straight out of a book,
The sound of the crickets in the dead of the night,
A stoic sound surrounding...

It was mad love. Right here where my heart is. 
Couldn't seem to let go of the rope, try as I might fight this
The meagre will power I could muster wouldn't allow me
The reality struck...

I'd find nirvana, if I could,
  on distant coast by lapping bay,
  far from all strain of daunting day.

Sustain no drama, as I should,
  an ataraxis of my mind

Donning splendiferous landscapes stretching for miles,
A culture that aptly prides, in bold, welcoming smiles;
A thriving land of islands~ an archipelago evincing awe,
A resplendence of nature, an exclamation of hurrah.

Sandy beaches embrace realms of pristine coastline,
Harboring...

Dear heart,
Please take a break
I know this feeling, I have had this feeling before 
It soothes at first, beguiling flings
Which shines, too
Sometimes brighter than goddess Theia
I know the comforts, the placidity it yields
And the euphoria!

Dear...
