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

Premium Member we willingly burn

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.

No Rank For Love

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

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.

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.

Wings of

Losers

Lost in

Detachment

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

Premium Member The Poet's Soul

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.

Premium Member Clothe Me In Grays of Pain

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.

The ecstasy of dissocia


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.

Premium Member The Pathless Path

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

Detached Attachment-Oshontic Verse 2

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

Premium Member Conceit Of Webbed Mind-JU


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
Form: Jueju

Let Me Go

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

Premium Member Keep It Simple

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

Premium Member Zen mode

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

Premium Member I Can’t Handle

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

Premium Member Poverty-Free Life

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

Burning Trees

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. 31.08.2021 For Eve Rooper Tetractys contest Syllables checked at PS Photo used 3
