Premium Member Hermit

 
At times I am, a detached girl secluded, wings folded, seeking a deep enlightment _ spiritual peace.
Form: Shadorma


Wings Detached

Alone in this world;
Refuse to accept what is;
My chest feels heavy.
Reminded through others lives,
I'll always be; fatherless.
Form: Tanka

Clarity

Standing apart
from truth
Life came 
into focus

Its burden
had lifted
Detached
— I was free


(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)

Happiness 2

true happiness is to have 
no ambition
but to work like a horse
as if you have every ambition
immersed in the moment
detached attachment
Form: Diamante

Thanks, Ray

To the one too good
Too transcendent
Too detached
Too soft
Too yamaka
For those who would

Thanks for helping me
in programming class

Tainted Legacy

Detached from the heart
Blinded by fear, led by greed
Shallow minds lay waste
Tainting words with foul actions
Careless of those who mean them
Form: Tanka

Meat

What is this meat that hangs upon my bones?
this fragile shell.
All of this to transport my computer in the skull.
Yet I feel so detached  from it.

Premium Member Blind


 
Striae eyes Cornea detached Crimson tears Pupils stretched Frazzled iris Blinded white Pressure builds Salty sight

Premium Member Zen mode

vibrant yet detached 
from desires and outcomes 
we go through play of life in motion
softened attention internalised
radiating love, light and bliss

Premium Member Hidden in plain sight

The first thing we see,
before beholding objects,
is the boundless womb of space.

Do we dare to leap,
in this enigmatic void,
omnipresent yet detached?
Form: Sedoka

Premium Member Synonymous

For me the concepts of love and lust are synonymous.
Them being the same keeps things from being monotonous,
All while we each remain healthily detached and autonomous.
Form: Sijo

From Behind A Tree

Ere as far echo, faded
Having of whose call
For to run and hide
Already replied
Felt as by it left alone
The whole universe.
And did I cry? No!
That safe detached.O!
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Hovering Somewhere

Hovering somewhere
    at times alongside
    betimes even over  

  Detached
    out of sync
    removed from

  A world once so important 
    ~ mocks my very existence

Computer

Quickly access information
Detached, indifference, inexpressive, objectivity

Premium Member LESS SAID

        Neither any hope
        nor an expectancy.
        No loss, no gain, no demand.
        Feelings are detached.
        In last phase everything 
        has gone obsolete.

Distorted -Thoughts

Distored thoughts.

birds take flight in flocks.

so detached,  in touch with a tight grasp.

a flask with a few intoxicating drops.

whispers scream from inside this nightmares dream.

Unopened

The missive came, posted from my home town. Detached, I laid it aside for awhile. A week passed, I unearthed the envelope. She will arrive on the train today! Mom.

Request

Cast your shadow
Before me that I may follow
May I drink from the well of your love
Cool as rain from above
Command my will
Like time commands my heels.
Detached from You
All that I am is death!
Form: Imagism

Angelic Loving Thought

Earth, somewhat of Heaven
For loving thought
As a sweet angelic influence
O'ershadowed is;
Our beloved, close behind
As what trails for.
If but of its angel's wing detached.
What blows for this.
Form: Rhyme

The Breakup

You detached me from your regard.

You devalued me with your unkindness.

Your unapologetic apathy underscored my uselessness.

But, when you told me to get out, you were redundant.

I was already gone.

Premium Member The Silent Twin

A silhouette detached from stone,
It mimics walking, yet is boneless,
With amethyst and indigo grown,
A silent, shapeless, velvet witness.
It drinks the light to build a cage,
A copy on a painted stage.

Premium Member Weaving Its Way

A leaf weaving its way
    down a flowing stream
  skitters windswept 'cross
    an autumnal lawn

  Once detached from a twig
    its life far too brief
  teasing undying belief
    ~ as green turns to grief
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Zen mode

detached compassion
employs no use of force
observing how winds blow
and rivers run their own course

as a part of the landscape
exuding fragrance of a rose
suffused in divine bliss mists
the monk remains in repose
Form: Rhyme

Just Go

Docile on the cotton,
Detached from reality,
And all that should be;
Adult life,
Move,
An inch,
Please,
I beg of you,
Of me,
Me,
Churn the gears,
Within;
Churn them,
One click at a time,
Make me,
Me,
Just go.
