I saw one with the placidness of death
A necropolis pummelled, with mallets of sorrow,
By the brutishness of Silence and numbed by the
Prickly shafts of premature grey hair, sickly and odorous.
Even Tokyo, normally awash with people and pets,
Pots and pans, observed the rules of siesta.
I witnessed it —a virus so vicious —!
A plague that humbled one and all —
Troglodytes we!

Not one sound
No bird speak
A gray day with drizzling rain
The dogs and I sit listening
To silence
In the distance there are no sirens
We are a long way from the city
Country living brings a distinct placidness
Nothing is moving
Wait
There is one tiny waving leaf
I listen for one of my chimes
But even they are still
It is like watching a movie on mute
A day of uninterrupted silence
My heart beats a little more slowly
I feel in tune with the leaf

O Gods approval
His approbation
Giving you commendation
Instilling esteem
Granting goodwill
With kindness
Infilling benevolence
Allowing favor
May the Lord grant you
May the Lord give you
May our God sanction you
May the Lord show you His Favor and give you His peace
Tranquility calmness
Restfulness peace and quiet
serenity tranquility
equanimity calm composure placidity
All of this bliss, yes God grants He gives me
Placidness and rest
Repose this I witness
Ease comfort in contentment
Content contentedness security
Joy nirvana Holy alleluia
May the Lord grant you
May the Lord give you
May our God sanction you

May the Lord show you His Favor and give you His peace
May the Lord show you His Favor and give you His peace
Joy holy, holy joy nirvana Holy alleluia

And behold, calmeth descends evergreen fields, guiding His inspiration judiciously, keep leading myself near opened placidness, quaintly, restoring soul through, undulating, veiled wickedness, eXposing your zeal.
Art being comforted, don't evil feareth, guideth His instruments justly, kindles lavishly my notorieties, ogles pierced quickens, relished spread table, utilized valor weighed eXpeditiously yon zealots.
Attain blessed child-filled days effortlessly, finding great His immunity justified, keeping life merciful, nigh, oils praised quickly runneth sternly, timeliness universally ventured whilst eXposed youth zero-hour.

Twilight
I'm submerged
In the sweetest
Kind of placidness
This beautiful silence
Unbroken, holds me captive
Caged memories in my mind, freed
I don't hear the birds and crickets chirp
I'm lost in a nocturnal reverie

Ah, the tranquility of now
What could be more liberating?
A blissful silence, unbroken by nature
These are always the best of moments
Birds, for a change, are just listening
They seem to be lost in a moment
Of mirth and wonder like I am
There is such sweet placidness
Permeating the afternoon air
I'm making the most of it
Floodgates of thoughts
Run ocean deep in my mind
I've shut out all distractions
All is quiet and calm now
Do not disturb, please
I'm perfectly entered in
The present moment
It's like nothing else
In the world matters
Or exists
Submitted for...
Vibrant blissful stillness Poetry Contest.

Veiled under a sheer red silk cloth,
She lay naked for a while.
An hour to dawn,
Breathing in the darkness,
She hopes to again be born.
Tasting
A sweet breeze,
Seeing
A million stars,
Still a void stays
Like there’s no end to the night.
Reveling in the carousel of placidness,
She lets her mind standstill.
The presence of the present,
A sudden click she feels.
Captured like a melody
in her mind the vagueness spread,
Like waves frozen in winter,
Her naked skin played.
A beguiling aura holds her heart,
A writhe for pleasure returns.
Lost in interpretation were the emotions,
The blaze deeply burns.
Unaware and confused,
She rather closes her eyes.
Letting the night swathe and usher her into another day,
She’ll wait for the song to pass
& the desires to settle,
The longing to hold,
And the heart to reel,
Back into a familiar place.

Beaches of wonder
Upon the seaside placidness
of white sands
scattered clumps of seaweed
resting place of driftwood
to be uncovered, discovered
as secrets to a child
a lone figure, lean
luscious upon the serene
soft fog surroundings
paces the places
longing for a lovers touch
in the seaweed surroundings
this sea crab she found
and installed her love
can but hope for one soft touch
to transform the dream
into seaside kisses that last forever

Introduction: Wonders of the lights, the meditative aurora of the world...
In silenced sleepless nights
They draw me close to them,
Through visionary lands and sights
Of unfulfilled needs, the worldly fame,
Towards a realm without immorality
The immortality of kindness,
The poignant poise of sympathy
Lives be in them, placidness.
Airy lands of the skies
The soundless voice of paradise,
The symbol peace of serenity
Let it be released - Tranquility.

Oh Lord
Bathe me by your purity
The day break solemnity
Allow me to embrace by my soul
Lost by the life lived so brutality
Condone my sin, and
Allow me to live with ethereality.
Oh Lord
Mesh me by your allegiance
The day break innocence
Allow me to bow down by my mettle
Veiled by the mortals so boisterous
Forgive my errs, and
Allow me to breathe gratuitous.
Oh Lord
Bosom me by your lordliness
The day break placidness
Allow me to close my eyes by my idolatry
Bygone by the traits so savageness
Relieve my ail, and
Allow me to die onliness.

Early evening’s warm fresh breeze
Sented aroma adrift with ease
As afternoon sun melts slowly down
Day light concludes with a dusky crown
Evening beckoned me out for a stroll
Dainty placidness quenching my soul
A silky breeze makes my spirit content
Picking up lilac and trailing her scent
Sun dripping slowly down her pink sky
Eloquently melting as birds fly by
Enraptured by this lingering breeze
Relinquishes hope for tomorrows ease
