Short Contemplations Poems

Contemplating contemplations, wondering if sunset  is my shade...

Endless beauty,
flows from her core.

Touch of her body,
which I’d like to do more.

Youthful innocence,
I’d like to steal.

School girl physic,
I’d like to feel....

Summer sun upon my cheeks
With love and hate
I avoid your visage
And welcome dusk

Summer moon upon my cheeks
Somber and sobering
I delight in your visage
But pray for morning...

spontaneity
 &intuition
to
convey ideas

momentary
interpretations
of
reality
  of
how it is

formless
contemplations
of
an inner impression

the
 unconscious
expressed...

Uncharted territory,
An interesting new story,
One I'm likely to forget.

New people,
New places,
New situations I'll regret.

Conversations,
Contemplations,
To be or not,
To do or not?...

In my head are dark contemplations
Rattled by silent reflection
I fear my introspection
And my own damnation
Scrawled on concert halls
And ghost town malls
See my eyes
Death lies
...Why?

I've spilled blood in France,
and toured long the tired mile,
and I've seen all bones and gold,
Place Concorde,
and Château de Versailles,

yet Paris is not built with stone...
nor made real with the work of men,
it is a state of mind, and a dream
that never ends....

Thoughts—desires of mind;
Truth—reality that is:-
Be aware of both…

Ideology—
Subjective desires & hopes;
Nemesis of truth…

Look at the children, 
A living human rainbow:-
Then comes adulthood…!

Truth is what it is,
Ideology is not;
Both control our lives....

intoxicating
       colours
in
   contrast
        scarlet
        shocking pink
a garden
palette
         sunfilled
           wintry stalks
foliage
    in
      fragile shapes
contemplations
of
an
    eclipsed mix
in
  the
     welcome
           beyond...

elegance

in

of

surfaces
  scratched
   with
  radiant
energy

translucent

minimal figurations
of space
within
finite
   symbols
 of blankness

Smiles run across their faces

But I am beyond mellow

I want to run far away

But I want to never leave

I want to change

But I love myself

I want to go further

but I fear change

I want to succeed

I want to cut through my depression

I want to go on

I want to survive....

Sit here and think
It will surely drive you insane, 
But what is it,
Contemplations tap at your window pane
Look at it, think about it
It will never stop, 
the rain falling lightly from a cloud
The noise, annoying as it is
Is not nearly as loud
As the contemplations that tap on your window....

Contemplations, Thoughts, Feelings

Can love – once again -  find a way to open its door a crack ?
Can all the forgotten – lost feelings, ever find their way back ?

Or is it, – as lately it seems – the cards are against me, stacked
and there will never be a road – against the wall I am backed !

unabashed analyzation
overturned rocks 
and constant contemplations
an effortful acceptance 
spurned out of desperation 
gathers speed now flying
taking, ticking, tocking
the past once regretted 
incomplete when forgotten
ambitious non-removal
ticking now, now tocking
can through such a fog
of dense perplexity
a life be shaken loose
can something take me
tick me, tock me...

"Why do you write verses?" I'm asked.
Well, it's the verses that carry all the blessings 
and the burden of my thoughts, 
Lonely contemplations...
 ruminations, conversations...
Poignant memories,
Pensive reflections,  
raging storms, 
of despair and joy,
mind brimming with ocean of thoughts, flowing in verses...
Even when I'm drowning in a sea of emotions,
 these verses have carried me to the shores......

Ripples of vibrant streams stagnate
Songs of flapping birds relocate
Forest rustles hibernate

Skeletal trees shake, underdressed
Mushy, scabbed apples numbly rest
Brisk, harsh breezes pierce life's chest

Pruned trees develop healing scars
Skies of pewter, stone, and smudged chars
Meet to contemplate the stars

Sorrow and indifference blend
A crocus and daylight ascend
~The beginning of death's end

The is night cold
The streets are mute
The stars are asleep
The moon is moaning
Peeping through my windows 
the gentle breeze from the 
beach beacons on me
But nature's touch is temporal
Eve's touch is eternal
Where is my Eve?
As tears flooded my veins
In region of my contemplations 
an arrow of fear pierce through 
my spirit
My spirit screamed for 
deliverance from singlehood
Oh, where is my Eve?

tapping
      into the eternal
yearning
for
       wholeness
without
boundaries

contemplations
in
a
quest for
            synthesis
                       drawing
whispers

irregular
overlapping
            participations

intermittent
tensions

      fascination
           with the insignificant
conjurations
of the lyrical

stains informel
                      abstracted
the calliagraphic
unformed...

I wished once more
and once again - until
greed became guilt and
guilt became shame.

Who, pray tell, is the arbiter 
of my insignificance -
the keeper of my
   contemplations...

Does my conscience bear its weight
upon the souls of others?

Petty impertinences ... that
pile one upon another, until
they're no longer petty -
instead, a pity party with
no invitees nor RSVP's,
just the echoes of
   yesteryear's resolutions......

HOW  HIGH


Mountains and Mole hills,
Intimidations or Simple Contemplations-
depends how high you wish to fly !

When Neanderthals transgressed the land
it was wonderous to meet each meal-
yet, now we dine in a minutes time.

Watching the birds fly about,
for many years we desired its convenience-
until we walked up on the moon.

Mountains and Mole Hills,
Intimidations or Simple Contemplations-
depends how high you wish to fly !...

Standing ovation

Tired situation

Overbearing aggravation

Complications of

Tired conversations

Multifaceted contemplations

Of overdramatic

Accusations poured

Constantly into dire

Straits of manipulations

Churning round in

My mind, never going

To be defined only

Rhymed over time

Line after line constantly

Being refined only to

Find that back again

They come words always

Being undone over

Again in my head....

formidable contemplations flow over me like a sea of realization
satisfaction takes hold like the roots of an oak tree
a flash in time opens up new doors of focalization
a mindset changes slowly like a group of passing clouds
hope becomes destiny
destiny becomes actualization
actualization becomes a memory as soon as it is concieved
spirits within link us to an infinite realm of fulfillment
break down walls and open your mind to a higher level of conciousness...

The flowers are wilted now and everything starts to fade ... The way she looked, smelled, and tasted are blending into the shade... Abstract memories of her dancing silhouette, still haunt my vague dreams.  Nothing is really at all what it seems. I can no longer remember our mundane conversations...  Our poetic contemplations...  Our eloquent frustrations... Or our elaborate condemnations...  It is all fading into a blurry grey soup of something called, forgetting......

 O wn contemplations, where in rhythms nations
 R ights thinking, clouded minds eyes blinking

 Muffled yells patriots say you know GO TO ???
 Empirical results as both sides fuss and cuss
