spirit is wise
open dark eyes
good stories told
aura is gold
heart duly mould
memory clear
life a love prism
nonchalant schisms
calm I am dear
dun storms pass true
eating hot stew
we dance sincere ~
Clear blue sky
on a frosty morning,
it doesn't even have to try
to be anything other
than what it is;
why can't I
be as nonchalant
as a bird that flies
without constraint
across that clear blue sky?
when a close one dies, we realise
we are looking at waves, not the ocean
light of our true Self, delusion decries
eye of wisdom calming commotion
Nonchalant Monkey rides the masked elephant in swampy bend.
We wonder where he found the likes of this mysterious friend.
Who put the mask on this beast? An inquisitive star child asks.
The monkey keeps mum, no surprise, but it was quite a task.
denial of what is as is unfolding
clinging to that that never was
glue of ego spawned identity
we see these tamas spirals
attempting to anchor us
in fear and darkness
our nonchalant eye
entwined with heart
ever bubbling with joy
opts not to trauma bond
with such sunken vibrations
judging nothing celebrates life
The nonchalant rooster is a real knob.
We don’t have another name, so we call him Bob.
He puts on a multitude of airs, I mean a gob.
He interviews a lot, but can never get a job.
Nonchalant Rouge
By Maui Sanders
Absence of affection
Is not a sore ditch
Film reels
And family memories
Even though I may not
Have one
In my mind, I am a warrior
Who is learning
How to be of an object
To people on a pursuit to
Win the trophy
Life's brutal assault
simply does not halt,
teasing and taunting,
most find quite daunting.
The way we respond,
determines our bond
with the potent pulse,
we ourselves impulse.
With bliss our abode,
nonchalant monk mode,
makes easy earth life,
free from needless strife.
Life is but a dream
where illusions stream,
that by love baptised
God is realised.

No reason to panic no cause for alarm
I ask one and all to remain cool and calm
Be nonchalant as you go about your day
Believe me my friend it's the only way
If you can do this I'm sure you will succeed
Getting flustered and frustrated there's no need
I have no example why coolness should apply
Please though promise me that you will try
Calm under pressure is a good way to be
Good for mind and body I'm sure you agree
No point in panicking or getting stressed
Being impatient will lead you feeling depressed
Nonchalant so Debonair that I do not care;
If I barter if I dare;
Well I've got what I've shared;
Nonchalant it's what I've got;
And went to the table and sat;
As if nothing has went on here;
I just don't care...
It's what I want;
Thus , my reaction my reasoning jaunt;
Just for acting nonchalant;
5/3/20
Written words James Edward Lee Sr 2020
frivolous nonchalance
easy carelessness
ridiculous calmness
in the face of equanimity
heedless casualness
notoriously relaxed
indifferent airiness
way beyond easygoing
deadly carefee
frivolous self
a woman to never represent the majority
a woman to never respect the majority
a woman to never speak for the majority
forever talking of independence
saying it is Scotland's desire,
lost the vote for independence
nonchalant to Scotland's desire,
a one track horse,
and of course,
a selfish cow.
Scotland's First Mini Turd
heart no longer feels at home
barefoot bohemian roams.
restless wild, bright whirling skirt.
untamed desire yearns to flirt.
home trailing to distant hills.....
roams tethered fragile tendrils.
skirts around, lone debutante.
flirt hurts... the nonchalant heart.

Jueju-Qijue Contest of Charles Messina
Gallivanting around the wilderness with the love of my life I realize
That things are not necessarily as I would have wanted to visualize
I acquiesce as choosing what to do next
Out of nowhere, I get a text
In a nonchalant manner, I looked to see
What could this message be
The subtle look concerned my love
He will always be there when push comes to shove
As I think about what is going on now
I realize that I should just blow off everything other than how
When we are alone I feel such ecstasy with him
No matter where the rendezvous is and whether we follow a whim
He holds my hand as we cross a precarious bridge
It was a unique experience as we crossed over to the ridge
When we made it back home I decided to rest
The finesse of his touch on my face is the best
Comfort in my love’s arms I love to be in
Taking time to admire his silly grin
Enjoying the moment in which I live
And all the love we have to give
I find myself in quite a precarious state.
Uncertain as to why I was so quick to acquiesce.
My heart flutters with excitement.
My body trembles inside with fear.
The thoughts race through my minds eye,
like an out of order stampede.
That of enlightened speech.
It is an unique ecstasy;
One of unsettled ease.
Set into motion, forced into play.
What was a seemingly nonchalant rendezvous,
sent me gallivanting forward.
A rather new and unfamiliar finesse.
It will surely be the beginning.
The beginning to the end.
The beginning to the end of yet another,
yet another fragmented moment.
A moment of eternity.
An eternity and all that it will ingest.
