Wee Ennui
Still and listless
No feel,  no bliss

No fun,  no thrills
Worrisome and long bills...

Go the spoils,
And the dead
Write poems.
There is no reprieve
From ennui....

disconnected
jaded and feeling numb
ennui quickly turns to melancholy

Which is that aspect of me
Looming in delusional ennui
Numbed to innate inner sentience
Of bliss outpouring in innocence...

Ennui
A young man once reveled in whoredom
debauchery, drinking and wardom
then he got old
it has been told
he died then the cause of death boredom...

Seasoned Frustration
Manicured blown dry trimly edged attempt at normal urbanity
Routinely and greenly masking ennui insanity
As trees laugh together eyeing my new rake
I think about snow...

Young Apathy
Deep scent of ennui
touches the young
who refuse to see
the beauty around them.
Time reined in the Muses,
put out the flame of the bards,
and extinguished awe of science....

Premium Member Mental Slippage
Echoes, thoughts thrown off-course
illusive as in "vision blurring"...
ennui, with nothing to reinforce
imagery. Silence disturbed by purring,
odd admixture of buzzing and whirring....

Game of Life

When you have savoured the sweet flavour of success and victory
Will you weep as Alexander did the loss of worlds to conquer
Seek new purpose lest your life be one of unending ennui...

Grab Hold of Life
Life is more than bland existence
Let thy spark not fade away,
Meet ennui with firm resistance
Thank the Lord and seize the day.

Muffled dialogue ennui sequestered intimacy so distant,
                                                    smothered in ebbing surreptitious fantasy.

Warmth in your hearts in spite of the cold
Inspiration like sunshine, bright and bold
Strong faith for the future and unbridled hope

Premium Member Work Ethics Ain'T What They Used To Be
Our youth nowadays is a mystery
Being a boss quite a catastrophe
Instead of hearing SORRY
You get " Hey YOU hired ME "
And back to cell phones to relieve ennui

shadowy sparse
        brooding anxious restless
        introspection
moments simplified
      til the gloom breaks
twilit patches
             uninflections
              melancholia contrived
in abstract
            evocations 
              exemplified

January 1st
A whole new 
Irksome block of monotony
Placed at my door
By night.
Climb up or down as you please
Vacuous and silly I am all agog.
Some crazys have not slept
To herald
My wife, sterner stuff
As usual
Shakes off the ennui
And ignores the banal.

Moon and Blooms
As a rule the room
Is full of ennui and ash
Except when your moon
Peeks behind bits and pieces
Fireflies in moment’s clichés

Moments normally
Insipid tea in old cups
Except when your look
Blooms all over the shadow
Waiting in acute hot sun
