D.I.Y of detachment
demolish the
ideological
yearnings
of a heart
that was once
full of longing
till there was
no trace left
my grave is blessed
my coffin is well-designed ---
detachment undone?
even midst rude beasts
am I ready to be thrown? ---
renunciation...?
Time
divorces from memory
Moments
refocused sublime
Lost
in sequential detachment
Freeing the message
—unsigned
(The New Room: June, 2023)
Is it not foolish
to make detachment a goal,
when both our hearts beat as one?
True it is, soul mate,
since love alone is real,
our entwinement pleases God.
What capable for
You qualified for
in life
Except for love
No rank for love
Don't ask why for
Unreasonable love
No detachment in love
So if heart fallen in love
Keep mind
as your safe boat

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.
In the trash goes
the wilted bouquet of peonies
he meant to give the girl
that caught his eye
The shy boy lacks the courage
to do so! He's moving on, I surmise?

his distant still palette
of ambient light
painted the silence
of hawks in the night
catching a sadness
that hides in plain sight
in an air of detachment
that hints at their plight.
Has beens
and hopefuls
Poseurs
and scribes
Wings of
detachment
Losers
and lies
Fated
direction
Choices
on file
Lost in
the moment
Destiny’s

Detachment
Done
their selfish stance, meets no response
since we no longer wish to dance
ceasing to reform or cajole
relinquishing wearisome roles
blissful soul, choosing to renounce

When others spoke about me, my emotions did sway
Realized for peace, detachment is the only way

The soul is his home,
detachment an intruder.
He is like a street dog
who sees rainbows.
A slate reflects life;
emotion exposed by a pen.
Pain and beauty cut deep.
No bandage can heal;
only words can complete.

Clothe me in grays of pain!
Dead sun's ember
cannot warm a heart cold
with detachment.
Solitude, closest friend,
you remember
the days I walked life's road
with contentment.

Soaring on a cloud
gently numbed
in esoteric heights
beyond the strident boom
and strobe glare
of leviathan
rearing to lasso multitudes
into cavernous jaws
that never rest
forever famished
in a perpetual stasis
of angry craving.
Simple exit plan
Do it with elan
Life a one way street
Our nonchalance greets
Detachment complete
Unaffected
By external
We feel within
Pulse internal
Hues of joy
Manifest
Bliss ahoy
Clear light
Within
Dawns

be ready to die this moment
get prepared to go next minute
set goals to leave the
following hour
detachment
if you are detached you
will be attached too
attachment should not be
possessive
ocean is the mother
of rain
love shouldnt be a bondage
Form:
In mind’s mold of webbed design
Stray strands of strange shapes align
Diverse modes not unified
In psyche unstratified
In its fold fond secrets hide
Safe from prying world outside
Detachment proud mind least cares
Frail conceit it slyly bears
No pain in my veins,
No discomfort in my chilled fort,
No objection in my reaction,
No regret in my retreat,
No arrangement in my lament.
No. No. No.
I have no readiness like a turning wheel;
I do not endure
Like youth or fuel.
No — no —
Let me go
It is everywhere
Swamplands stagnative
The sticky substance
Binding blinding glue
Cause of resistance
We may exit
The Maya web
By detachment
In contentment
Vaporised
We imbibe
Love current
Pure bliss
Unstained
Throbs
08-October-2020
the orifice at fontanel expands
admitting higher quanta of light
body-mind is but an instrument
dancing with rapture in delight
in detachment and nonchalance
we witness play of life underway
there is nothing at all for us to do
save in this dream, ceasing to sway
I can’t handle
ornery
brooding
detachment
My parental figures
romantic
warm
close
Oh, they yelled
momentarily
harmlessly
humorously
(to me at least)
like when Dad
spilled sugar
sugar lips
martini cheers
against her urn
I can’t handle
grief
tears
a broken heart
Breaking the addiction
Is this the limit?
Insidious thirst
Pale
Blue dots, circles
To acquire my attention
A short pause
A temporary detachment from reality
Or a beatific life?
A life without poverty?
Life in a virtual world

Trees
burning,
carpet of
embers on ground;
mesmerized I rake the leaves, put them in
a basket. Even in death there is glee.
Detachment of
tree inspires
me, brings
joy.
