Short Attentions Poems

Offered by illusion, I trod the light.
Thinner than emotion, 
My shadow lost its motion
And took all the attentions....

An indoor showroom for
Invaluable art pieces
To attract your attentions
To the beauty of nature
Or your admirations
To the beauty of creations of men 
Maybe for the eyes only 
But no bargains...

In love we trust

Limitless passion and joy
Overwhelms our senses
Violins and harmonicas singing
Endlessly we hum our song

You forgot about the time
Our attentions riveted to each other
Undying in its fervor...

Your Feelings are my concern.
Your feelings are my turn.
Your attentions are my aims
Your attentions are my flames
Your deeds are my life
Your deeds are my type
You have nothing special to do,
I am human you are also too....

How good is it when 
You know what you want in life
And focus on it. 
 
A good warrior 
Roars and does not have time for 
Useless attentions

When it comes to fight 
for the rights of snubbed people 
Who need  total peace.

Mysteriously intimidating.
Intensely disturbing.
Dim, smoky, noisy. Of what force
Hellish, so pushed on down?

Where a changeful melt of figures, faces
And worse, feeling phases
From out its walls, grasp at attentions
Does ooze. Life's renown!...

Black hair swooning, 
Red lips, fair skin seducing
Your attentions
And your love
Deadly
Lingering
Like a shadow
Yet all I see
Is a ghost masquerading
In a false shell of beauty
“Eternally mine” she whispers 
But only in death
Am I eternally yours....

when many wise people attract by the colours 
of money , pitiful earth shares bloods 
of innocent folks. 
Quote by poet. 

wealth
which seems 
to bring worth
in this world where 
more wise folks just worth
good things which catch
attentions 
of rich
folks....

To speak the words of famous lore
He backs away forevermore
For he’s afraid to quote the words
He dares not say them, “Never more”

So timid, he, he trembles true
Though black as night, his heart is blue
He dare not draw attentions light
To hide in shade, he means to do...

I am a bubble.
People see through me.
And yet, there are still few who see wonders
in my almost invisible rainbow-like colours.
With their slightest attentions and most timid smiles,
I am appreciated.

I am a bubble.
With the air I move and dance,
Carefree and unmindful while I soar.
As I reach the sky, I fade.
Only to join the wind once more....

Unworthy one cent coins
Make up the consuming world
Unworthy coarse sand under your feet
Makes up the wonderful garden
Unworthy sweating manual workers
Make up the manpower
Unworthy short minutes
Make up the precious lifetime
Unworthy strenuous struggling
Makes up the patience to win
Everyone and everything will have their values 
And may deserve 
our respects or attentions...

With moved words,
long emotions
compensated acts
attentions offered
loves, distributed
 debts contoured,
friendships, contemplated
succor offered
supports maintained
speeches, delivered
silences, reverberated
teachings, followed
lessons, oriented
the possible accomplished
the impossible tried
Mission Accomplished...
it can be said that I lived
 and still live Life... !...

We've got a government 
In need of abolishment.
That's said with honesty
And astonishment
Because it hasn't been accomplished yet
Or even attempted
Because every one of our rights
Are being neglected
And every argument that
We make against it
Is quickly rejected
And never again upon
Are they reflected
Because our attentions
Are quickly redirected
By the 4th branch that we
Never elected...

 Oh dear delight! My sweet coquette.
Enticing smiles; your glance flirtatious
rouses in me, dispositions salacious.
Sometimes my fret- sometimes my pet;
oh so tantalizing the way you tease
transform blase' to beguiling mystery
which fires my  fervor with pleasing ease.
Comely countenance; aspect gracious
All ardorous attentions you do invite;
Oh sweet coquette! My dear delight....

Lent is teaching me to re-order my loves. 
In the stillness of morning, with the early birdsong, I realise that in the absence of that which I gravitate to, the absence of the thing that brings physical comfort, there is a deeper desire, a deeper love that wants to surface in my attentions. Beyond the aching of the familiar; there is a deeper longing that I can only truly meet in these present moments....

Covering my heart
From passages symbolic
I missed all this tasteful dismay
I love the love of her
From passages symbolic
Yet she pays not me any attention
I love the love of her
When will she acknowledge me
Yet she pays not me any attentions
Amidst all this distasteful dismay
When will she acknowledge me
Covering my heart

My thoughts are often filled with longing
Yearning for a love to call my own

Thinking of strong arms to hold me;
Hands so loving they touch my very soul.
Overjoyed by his attentions I turn to face my love.
Unabashedly, I give myself to his lips
Grasping his very essence towards me,
Hungry and demanding; we become one.
To him I am his dream, the one he has long
Searched for; meant to be his love forevermore...

There are wonders about the universe 
And there are wonders of the universe

There are joys in drinking good wine
And there are joys in thinking by the mind

There is happiness in getting your desires
And there is happiness in avoiding hellfire

There are lives of luxurious living 
And there are lives of material prisons

There is the meaning of your attentions 
And there is the meaning of your intentions...

It’s the mirror

Reflection of confusion

Moi ?

Collection of misguided attentions

Or

The stoic compilation of self

Who

Familiar unfamiliar face

Hallowed eyes

Meets the stare of satisfaction

Youth ?

Held captive by

The gray aches of age

Resignation to

The crossroads of bygone goals

Smile

For the union of love

Frown

Of lost exuberance

Desire

To just give more

Sometimes plans just go awry
Despite your best intentions.
Then you rally and you try
Assorted interventions.

You could shrivel up and die
From all the added tensions,
But to do so would defy
The normative conventions.

It’s a waste to wonder why
There have to be dissensions.
Life is likely to supply
Dilemmas and detentions.

So the thing to do is sigh
And focus your attentions
On ways for you to pacify
Your growing apprehensions....

                                     Fingers and one thumb;
Closed those up;
                                     You have a fist;
Open hand you want,
                                     Something?
closed hand, you protest;
                                     What not again, What???
Raised hand to get the attentions;
of every single little living being
So what is this you stand, you recommend....
4 fingers and one thumb...

Children eyes fixed on the screens
Deprived attentions to the wonders of the environment
No more request for bedtime stories 
Deprived love of a mother
Data and informations saved
Surpassed the power of human brains
One- man- show teachings of the computer
Replaced the role of the teachers
New ways of study, work and play 
Changed the life of human beings
In a civilization that secretly came by
In a name called The age of information  technology...

I got rid of the toxins empathically 
a path in computer science 
unique file for friendships 
obsolete a techs understanding 
depends how you read 
Attentions a beast 
Lack of communication 
Dates are outdated
we network for a couple of weeks 
The way I look at things 
went from  pager To engineer of a tablet 
Sumerian skills I clay any gadget to rest. 
I bleed code think frequency 
I'm just having Diner on a sky scrapper 
wait for the update...

When you astonish by seeing
 An elder brother Calling 
His young bother
 " Big brother or father " 
______________________________

Because he is so rich 
And he depending on him , 
You will make diarrhea ,
 Flies will follow you till you die.

Message:
 If you are not informed 
About money
To buy respect, 
Popularity, 
And attentions, 
You will be putting to shame
 In the future....

I say there is a China teapot 
Revolving about the sun
Twixt earth n mars 

It’s much too small to see 
By telescope or all our skills
But I say it is there

I say you can’t disprove it
You may call me mad
Talking a nonsense

But if it were read of in ancient books
Instilled in the minds of children
Taught as sacred truth on Sundays

Doubting this I’d be marked eccentric 
Need help psychiatrists help
Or attentions of the Inquisitor in an earlier time...
