Appears a pigeon at leisure
nonchalantly walking hopping from table to table
~ looking for attention and treats

Premium Member Precious Only to Some

Neither toy nor a plaything
time on a whim squandered at leisure
frittered for sake of burlesque

Premium Member i too want to be free

you're beautiful and you don't care
you're all about freedom
living life like it's a gift
flying at leisure across the sky
pausing here and there at will
soaring in the magnanimity of sunshine

A Picture To Treasure

If I treasure treasure
I won’t be at leisure
Until there is a capture

If I treasure fixture
I will dare seizure
Until there is a full measure

If I treasure nature
I won’t be a vulture
That devours at pleasure

If I treasure culture
I won’t be a torture
That encourages displeasure

If I treasure future
I will nurture our mixture
That is the very big picture.

Anger

In a moment, things came to a boil,
And anger caused everything to spoil.
Losing focus on my principal goal,
All my principles fell in disharmony's bowl.
 
Anger that heir to stress,
Made me pull my hair – oh a frustrating mess!
In those weak moments I took off my eye,
From all that I wished to achieve and reach the sky.
I then spent the subsequent days repenting at leisure.

Man For Pleasure

I have had the pleasure
Of watching one’s treasure
And dared to then measure
What one did at leisure…

Man fails not to treasure
What fetches him pleasure:
For them goes at leisure
And them take full measure

Of eyes the cynosure,
For the camera sure,
Then doors slam for closure:
There shouldn’t be censure;
Kisses with their pressures,
Sex with all its seizures,
Morals for erasure…

Who’d save man from pleasure?

Premium Member Reading As a Hobby

A hobby  
To kill extra times
And to relax oneself
More benefits than exertion and exhaustion 
From work
Nothing to do with ambition 
Reading at leisure
Reading for pleasure
Reading at ease
Reading at your own pace
And no pressure
Reading at your interest
And  gain relaxation and knowledge
With no bargain or totally free 
Reading to make friends
And books become your friends
Life long intimate
And with no quarrels

What Is a Tear

Just one of your tears 
is like being washed over by the tallest of waves.
Im lost in those welled up eyes.
I'm a compass without a point.
Just that look of despair
leaves me in utter dispair.
That single tear 
Caused by words that are spoken in haste
and are repented at  leisure. 
Pride is your  enemy 
when  tears are falling. 
Slay your enemy
wipe away that tear.
Live to love another day 
as tears are feelings you can see.

Someone In My Heart

Inside the caves of my heart 
Lives someone I do not know
With unspoken word, starry eyes
He’s quiet, peaceful and smiling
And slow to open his mouth

He only peeps and watches	
Through the glass windows
Of my unstable heart at leisure
Flapping his wings like a dove
To shadowy activities of men

The words he stammers out 	
Are soothing and smooth
Choosing to talk only when
Deeds of men are cool and calm
Like a lull in the Pacific Ocean

Someone

Inside the caves of my heart 
Lives someone I do not know
With unspoken word, starry eyes
She’s quiet, peaceful and smiling
And slow to open his mouth

He only peeps and watches	
Through the glass windows
Of my unstable heart at leisure
Flapping her wings like a dove
To shadowy activities of beings

The words she stammers out 	
Are soothing and smooth
Choosing to talk only when
Deeds of beings are cool and calm
Like a lull in the Pacific Ocean

Premium Member The Door Is Open

Trials of life continue relentlessly. All we can do is, is to be nonchalant, recognising the deep truth that we are not the mind body, thereby enjoying our life sojourn, as though watching a movie at leisure. Yet within this dream, we wish to awake. We are both the subject and object, within the field of awareness. Thus, to awaken right here we must enter stillness, embrace cessation, enter the void, to then be right now free. 11-November-2020

A Triad of Tanka II

The dragons have gone;

Disappearing into wind

Which bore them eastwards.

Sunset fell into shadow...

And the World became legend.
-------------------------------------

Beneath tired maples

The lone bridge is at leisure;

An old canal dry.

The lone bridge reminiscing:-

Leaves carpeting flat ripple.
-------------------------------------

Autumn in Kyoto

Overwhelms a persons senses; 

It beguiles the eye.

Whether river, hill, garden;

All beyond compare.
