Abibliophobia

Unusual fear, I've suffered from on occasion, especially, for airplane flights long duration; It's the fear of not having enough to read, passing time tough; forgot to carry books, caused frustration.

Premium Member The Conditioning

When the hard place is the bed

where upon a rock lays the head,

beware your hard places becoming impenetrable.

For when the duration only meant,

for a time, is long spent,

becoming one with where you are

may be the inevitable.

The Sensitive

The Sensitive

fragile
sourced from weak
no stand
easily shaken
so frail
like glass
easily broken
far from strong
hardly last
short span
owns contingency
little duration
now and then
sensitive
so weak so frail.

Premium Member The Duration Of

During the duration of a [expletive]
It's what I read while here I sit
And as I ponder, each page I swipe
The time elapsed until I wipe
All the noises and a sneeze
And the red marks on my knees
It's a throne from which I plod
A.K.A. the porcelain god

Premium Member " Quiet Grace"

A soft morning emerges

Over her considerate footsteps 

Radiance folds around her

Like calm breath  on open 

Streets 

Hope encloses her spirit 

In layered peace and purpose

Adoration moves beside her

Through every shifting duration.

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

The Duration of Mourning

I hear the murmuring.
Is it the strength

ebbing away? Just
damned inconvenience,

when adulthood fails.
It's like the days

from my memory.
How fear wells up

with all its push-me-
pull-me.

Push-me-pull-me
waiting for rest.

Another's sorrow so
becomes my own.

The Seaman's Pleasure

Sailor men, bell-bottom dressed,
They know what ladies like the best:
Strong men, with hair upon their chest
And with duration well possessed.

So come ye maidens howe’er you look,
If you can bake or you can cook
Come out ye from your sheltered nook
And do not pleasure overlook.

Fickle Luck

Emotionally intense
Yet equally submissive
Pain is hit or miss
And leaves me feeling twisted
Inside out and upside down
Right side up
A circus clown
I can’t predict
My next sensation
How acute
For what duration
A wayward vessel
I can’t instruct
At the mercy 
Of fickle luck

Duration

Those flurries of small specks
My mother called leaky faucet kisses.
Late sun winks from a power line
Beyond the neighbor's tree.

In heaven, where repetition's not boring-
Silver whistles of blackbirds
Needle the daylong day.
We are still on the air,
Still on the air they say.

Stars

Given off from the light of the moon-
Sparkling stars each one falls to soon-

The night duration filled with light-
See the stars, the eternal sight-

Looks above the darkened trees-
From to their homes the stars now flees-

You see the colors, vast open space-
You may see then a glorious race-
