It almost appears to me to have a face, 
and perception. 
Somehow it seems to be attentively looking out, 
and quietly considering within. 
I am glad our paths crossed, 
and I met you....

Short and sweet!
Come to me 
fragrant smelling sensibly
You and me 
Flying together were others would like to be
Attentively
Attracting bass based melodies
Just to be 
You and me...

She
studies
her children
attentively,
mothering comes at ease, navigating
each day like a hot knife through soft butter,
strict discipline
boundaries
nurture
love....

watching her attentively 
so captivated
boogers so noticeable 
so nasty, should I tell her?

The more I look at you
The less I see

The more you say
The less I know

Attentively ignoring you
Missing what I used to see

Frozen emotions flow free
Erasing what used to be

A familiar stranger
That is what you have become to me...

Relax let the breeze of this mild summer night touch your skin,
Close your eyes,
Open your heart and mind
For a time! you make its long
Take deep long breath. 
Open your eyes,
To look attentively at the stars in the sky
If it was cloudy, try again....

Sitting comfortably 
Attentively
Without thought 
Mind-body begot
As of our will
We are still

As soon as an urges begins to arise
We let it awaken but block its rise
In suspended animation
This being our meditation 

For an unending duration

Attentively, listen to your heart once more, my dear friend,

Pay attention to its rhythmic beat and euphoric sound

This heavenly melody you hear is composed for us

Since God, wishes his undying love for us to expound!

So,
Speak
Kind words
With soft voice
A harpist playing
Gentle and soporific tones
Like the mother's low lullaby hummed to her baby
Notice how everyone listens attentively to understand what you are saying

I
watched
attentively as
each fold was
creased so carefully and precisely,
and then tested with great care to exact the chosen form.
It was made worthy
of long, sustained
flight to compete
with the other
boys, whose
fathers also
taught them the basics of
aerodynamics from the
kitchen
table....

Building trust and connection is
every person's desire and will,
irrespective of one's personality,
needs, or history. It is our calling to
grow together in harmony.

Humanity's destiny depends on
unity that we express within our
midst, without prejudice. We
attentively gaze upon the stars,
navigating the maps in our souls......

They say dead man tells no tale but I say he does
He's like an artist who picks up the mike
And sings any song he like
He's six feet under but his voice
Tells a tale he's written
Just listen attentively to what he says sadness and rapture
Reflects all over his picture
Because dead man does tell tales if chance given...

After centuries of practice,
she is still condemned to the shadows of the attic
were she has perfected her craft
to make the violin gently sing her tale of solitude from the dark
The owls listen attentively to her beautiful melodies all through the night
And wonder for whom she plays for, with a smile on her face till the morning light...

The sun has set,

The day wears her evening gown as the

Flickering stars begin dancing in the sky,

Night's mesmerizing song is heard

And

Our hearts, attentively, listen to every note

Nature's harp produces

While 

Our lips, join in sacred silence 

For

To worship love till morning

Comes!

Consciousness looking at its reflection
by making the object as the subject
parallel mirrors in contemplation
who is who, in hypnotic trance forgets
until the self enters meditation 

Quietened attention, all thoughts suspect
poised attentively, thus in cessation
layer by layer, delusion ferrets
truth of oneness, sudden recognition 
whereupon hermit gets to the summit

Allow what is complex to unravel 
it may repair what was left crumpled;
Imagine the power of romantic ideas;

Just one kiss could instigate ideas;
Pain dissipates and will deftly unravel
giving flight to hope that crumpled;

A cautious repair to what was crumpled 
be patient listen to those shy ideas;
Allow a sensitive soul to slowly unravel;

Attentively unravel those crumpled ideas....

Vibration
Inside me.
I stop the flow
And pay attention.
The pull of recognition
And explosion!
A thought has entered my Being.
Let it be…
Am I the same as a second ago?
Have I changed with the change?
Softly, gently, attentively
I am pretending to be as solid as a mist of a thought,
Maybe then 
It will pass through the web of my Soul 
And remain on it 
As the sparkling diamonds of dew?...

Awaken battlefield.
Wounded hearts show mercy.
Attentively they shield.
Endure it until tomorrow.
Authentically avenge.
My hearts alone, in raged.
Awkward they stair and cringe.
Our youths own mind is aged.
Wounded codependent.
Farewell handsome weather.
Nobel co defendant.
Wounded we will never.
Trusted conservative.
How dashing and full graced.
Twilight night we can’t live.
Their doings are erased....

The sun has set,

The day wears her evening gown as the

Flickering stars begin dancing in the sky.

Night's mesmerizing song is now heard

And

Our hearts, attentively, listen to every note

Nature's symphony produces

While

Our souls, join in sacred prayer to offer

Thanksgiving to our Lord

For

The cosmic harmony He has established!

I would like you to listen, attentively 
To the murmur of this poem, but
Ahh, it’s gone now, as if nothing happened 
‘Cos, honestly, it wasn’t today’s morn

But last night, yes last night, before sleep

A heart, so gentle and pure
Like of winter rose in pristine December sky  
I still remember, I think it was love
Ahh yes, the love you’d wish for---the murmur 

Of this poem, flattered to its unknown grave...

Attentively
The evening's rain
To the east constellation
Melodies merged and grew 
violent
Indignantly
A mellower noticed
Soothing song
Blindly improvising
Gods summoned music
A ballad of his projected time
Spotlight
Aesthetic potential and 
sympathetic
Too enticed to hear
A showing
Bright musical performances
Through the drizzle, with eyes
He qualified his love for reality
The soulful voices sounded like 
a poem
Instrument of the beholder...
