Oblivious Poems

Oblivious To Oblivion

I stand where silence threatens to consume,
The dark encroaches, hungering for claim,
Yet still I walk, unflinching in the gloom,
Unbent, unbroken, nameless though my name.

Oblivion waits with patient, endless hand,
Its shadows whisper promises of peace,
But I will not bow down to shifting sand,
Nor trade my breath for chains of sweet release.

The void may laugh, the stars

OBLIVIOUS OF ME

I saw her walking by the sea,
Her long hair blowing in the breeze.
Tall and so elegant was she. 
I saw her walking by the sea;
She was oblivious of me,
Saw her, elegant, walking, oblivious

The first five lanes are from my poem "By The Sea" written 2024

oblivious with everything everywhere.
Sensitive to the atmosphere.
soaking in various conditioning.
oblivious with everything everywhere.

Animosity to desensitivity.
Emotions sound as if they were a symphony.
Sensitive to the atmosphere.

Perhaps it’s not here or there.
Suddenly arriving as an epiphany.
oblivious with everything everywhere.

 possibly  a hindrance of cheer.
In that moment a split decision.
Sensitive to the atmosphere. 

Some extraordinaire

Premium MemberOblivious to reality

Each living in their private world,
into which no one can enter,
within the cave of their heart curled,
are driven by thoughts that canter
but when flag of love is unfurled,
they recognise soul’s true centre.

Look at souls living by instinct,
fuelled by both desire and fear,
their head and heart not with love inked,
thus blocking God from drawing near,
until they

spend most of their time 
staring at a screen. 
Either at work

Premium MemberMy oblivious eye

Here on the cusp of all things, is where I succumb 
Ceding my stuff blindly, toward oblivion and none 
Unwilling to persevere, without a modicum of fun 
Listing in perpetual stasis, til the spasm’s undone 

And yet a god may save me, or a talisman of love 
Some prophet of euphoria, quelling ennui thereof 
Placing

They stand in middle of the lawn, chatting and laughing and moving to a peculiar rhythm , they were unconcerned about what is going on and held on tightly to each other arm and the clouds began to get dark and the larks were flying around the everything began to move. The ant in the

That she can make  my mind Tedious
Which makes me furious 
But imagining her smiling upon 
Makes my heart troubled as ocean 
On a stromy night

Oblivious to Palestinian Suffering

No, I'm  not one of those who say, "It's nothing, it's collateral damage for just cause."
How much I regret this plight of conscience,
people walking around unmindful of the tragedy.
Have they no trace of humanity?
Are there no rules of war?
Is genocide allowed?
The spirit of contradiction marks the West, shattering tranquility of academic ivory towers, desperately

When you’re here I am oblivious to the cold, I feel warm.
When you are around, I am oblivious to the raging storm.
It just makes a nice ambiance for us to snuggle you see.
It doesn’t matter if you burn the toast, it tastes good to me.

Some overnight visitors have tactfully told me you snore.
This is news

Oblivious

The bird soars, oblivious to the wind beneath its wings
The fish swims, oblivious to the water in the sea
Humans experience this life much the same
Obliviously

Our desires to understand and seek truth are unimportant
We’re content with our feelings and socially constructed lies
We take for granted the blessing that we were born
And try to convince ourselves that

Premium MemberOblivious To a Hero

He sits in a corner 
Motionless and still
Hiding from an enemy 
Refusing to kill
Beaten and battered 
Alone in this game
Afraid to show himself 
For reasons like shame
Golden hair fibers
Resting on top
Oblivious to life
The voices won't stop
They walk and they run
They pay him no mind
While fighting off demons
That have plagued his mind
Torn are his clothes
Rotten are

Your beauty is like the azure skies,
The moon in the sapphire night,
The whisper of dawn in the thoughts,
The wondrous stars, glimmering hope
Inspiring my spirit, my very being…
To hear the restful way you approach
This peaceful dream, sweet tranquility

Your comforting touch, like intimacy’s
Brush – washing away all the fear,
Reminding me that joy is so near –
Inside my
