Premium Member Why I Wear a Mask During Covid19

Some folks resist wearing a mask heedless of the possibility of zymosis!

I religiously wear a mask to conceal my very conspicuous proboscis!

Archaeopteryxes

Dinosaur-bird bones:

Dark, cracked stone wings splayed in flight;

ground to a halt, still;

victims of cruel, heedless time;

cautionary timelessness.

Vulgar pale appearance
Viscount of blood sucking
Vicious creature of night
Vulture seeking its prey
Venomous fangs hunger
Victims heedless to threat
Veins puncture on impact.

Premium Member Nonchalant Is My Middle Name

frivolous nonchalance
easy carelessness
ridiculous calmness
in the face of equanimity
heedless casualness
notoriously relaxed
indifferent airiness
way beyond easygoing
deadly carefee
frivolous self

Premium Member Wake Me

Wake me if I've become stationary,
satiated with the ordinary.

Nudge me if I am complacently numb,
ungrateful and obliviously glum.

Unfold my eyes if they're mindlessly closed.
Wake me from heedless sleep if I have dozed.

Premium Member I Am

without a denial
life is brief and sticky sweet
tobacco claims me
ingested, it now eats me
still, it draws me, my lover  

malformed cells heedless
spread diminishing myself
imploding, anxious
still I rise blessing, loving
cancer is not me, I am

Edges

Breathing tedious life into a heedless cadaver,
 Peering over barbed wire to see the edge of never,
 Building on the ashes of love that branded the heart painfully slow,
 Deteriorating hopes plunge deep to the abysmal stillness only received once below.

Contentment

I went after contentment.
  I needed just one more thing.

I couldn't get it; It got me,
  'Cause my heart was with MP3.

Contentment's not elusive.
  It rests inside us, a friend,
To frame, fill our life with treasure,
  Heedless of human endeavor.

Premium Member Born An Eagle

Don’t lose me in the tide,
Follow me through the dust.
I will rock through heedless waves,
Nocturnally beseeching your dead grandparents.
Die on your new definitions,
Retain the baggage of flesh you’ve dragged
As your own identity.
Just don’t forget to soar like an eagle.

Illusions

ILLUSIONS



Aloof and heedless, beer glass pushed
Aside with pique and self-pity, he was
Famous among the carved walnut credenzas
And vintage hand-cut Bohemia lead crystal stemware
In the drawing room plays
Of Kensington in his mind.

The Elevated Places - Chapter 7, Verses 179, Holy Koran

Certainly I’ve created for hell many Jinn and human being
They have hearts that do not trigger their thinking
And they have eyes with which they see nothing
And they have ears with which they do not hear any thing
They are like cattle
Rather they are more insensible
They are the heedless people.

Premium Member Crow On Cold Stones

Crow on cold stones

This black being making
A gas station appearance
Intersection traffic
Horns and lights
Sunset shortly
Walking stone to stone..
Ignoring noisy polluted
Starts and stops..
A stoic warrior
In our time of
Heedless searching..

Then he flew and I
Transcended his moment...

Kindle of Love

Resounding echoes of mauve endowed gratified bliss to my gravest woe. Life’s heedless demands, I fear not- Though I’ve sought rain in weak moments, my hidden nature of love always kindles my empyrean soul. Human Nature Poetry Contest Edward Ibeh September 19, 2018

Moth's Folly

Round and round circling
 about the flickering flame,
 heedless of the danger
 till your wings got caught
 by the treacherous fire;
 you knew not what hit you
 as you plummeted down,
 dead.

 Poor little one, you were
 a victim of your own folly, 
 too late learning that not 
 all that glitter bestow
 life.

Drifting From Dreams

Back when 
all that laid ahead 
were the unheard 
tales of time 
tensely twirling 
towards tomorrow.
Where our 
hollow heedless 
heads of hope
would wistfully 
follow.
Still strumming 
out their
stammering 
starless streams
of desolate 
undecided 
dreams.
Then bashfully
burn out 
into bittersweet 
beams of 
belittlement.

Genre

Aware, 
I may  not 
Appeal to others. 
But, I know the truth
The world is an illusion, 
Not the safe harbor for conformists;
Yet, I can't be fragile just because I was, 
Outcasted from the heedless reign of the traitors
Arrogant and stubborn they can't see the verity, but an illusion
Perversion Is their abode, far from their own conceived ethical norms...

Premium Member The Drummer

Listen to the drummer
As she plays so far away.
The music from the valleys
That cradled yesterday.

Hear the rumbling troubled
Beat of wisdom's heedless call.
The rhythm for tomorrows' mornings
Lost in a beggars' thrall.

See the tears of all the years
That fell in endless streams;
While beggars waited for a prize
to fill their selfish dreams.

Valentine's Day

Early morning,

new, deep, snow

sunlit in the Garden,

covering the lonely woods.


Suddenly descending,

a mourning dove flutters,

roosts in the Tree.


There in a mere few moments:

another mourning dove returning,

perching, restless, cooing:


Cold, heedless solitude

sloughed off,

like the needless snow

the doves shake from their feathers.

Summer

Full of bloom and color, sun full overhead
Face turned skyward embrace nature’s gift
Long days of bounty, endless joy of which we read
Heedless, careless, forgetful of the cold dark rift

No thought of seasons extending beyond the sun
Prepare not, time has no bearing, no dominion here
No one to tell us of things that must be done
Too late we realize, the shadow season so near

Too Late

He dances on the sand and waves,
white shirt in hand. 'The gold!'
He cries 'I've found the gold,
and ruby stones of deepest dye.'

Heedless, the cross-masts sink from sight.
Salt waters lap the arid shore.
Trickling tears now wet his cheeks,
for now he knows the reason why
 white bones bestrew the golden strand
and vultures squat so patiently
upon yon head of bald-bare rock,

Misplaced Appreciation

MISPLACED  APPRECIATION

Once more the irrepressible wind of spring nears,
Flattens the stalks of new copse shoots,
Drowns the  dryng roses with excessive  vernal  tears, 
Exposes the remains of snow drift roots.

We stand, heedless zombies, applauding
The  reckless destruction  and defeat
From Invisible muscles  of wayward spring -
Smiling automatically at its advancing  heat.
