My instinct comes heedlessly and ever leadless
Dances over memory...

Into the group of old trees
I go heedlessly
The trees all welcome my step
I move carelessly
Trees want affection
I walk there beside the trees
They want attention

Fabled America is slipping away, 
surely you’ve felt it, like wind knocking 
a weather vane in another direction.
At some unnoticed moment
we decided to ignore realities
as a man intent on drowning himself
plows heedlessly through the waves....

Listen to poem:

~~~~T H E   W I T C H ' S   H E A D   N E B U L A E~~~~~
The Canadien Seal Hunt by The Humane Society


Warmingly, a seal

pup, heedlessly, greets strangers

who clubbed it to death.

Empty cold branch fingers
Reaching out in all directions
Through the quiet skies
Gray and heavy smoldering
Whisping skyward from chimneys
Through the windows frost child eyes
Spy the first snowfall softly
Drifting about heedlessly
White velvet landscaped covering
As December settles down
Enfolding the night
In her tranquility...

Some people do not fall in love
They jump, headfirst, heedlessly
With little thought of where they'll land

Others dip in a toe and then
Either slide in cautiously or
Retreat with great haste, in contempt

Still others trip, most gracelessly 
With much unseemly splashing
And left quite without their pride

Often, its some combination
Of the three above here listed...

Millions of questions
Hanging without answers
Of why and what and how
You broke my heart and leave me dying

I am done with crying, done with all denying
Still the questions stay
As why life treat me so viciously
And let you left me so heedlessly

Question, question and question
Driving me close to the edge of sanity
With no answers, only deception
Place the sorrow in me, for eternity...

The reason we must find ourselves
Is because somewhere along the way it was lost
Misplaced on childhood’s dusty shelves
Heedlessly forgotten, carelessly tossed

Countless discarded costumes and masks
Obscure our mind’s authentic hemisphere
Trying on different people is such a task
Never fitting, incessantly sheer

Soon we realize we never changed, we just grew
And we see that all along
We always knew
That our true essence was never too far gone...

i smile when i think of the river banks

where we crafted myriads of paper boats

out of unused sheets from our high school notes.

we would watch them float freely yet slowly

they drowned when they could no longer resist

the temptations of the blissful waters.

true. flirtatious wind of wild summers

could make us sway, dance or glide heedlessly

but only a while, cause like paper boats

we had to surrender to the diktats

of circumstances and of willful times....

He hung way up high intently
Fear he delivers corruptly
Scarecrow lives only for the night
Absorbing any signs of light
Sending chills to all hatefully

Arms spreading along perfectly
Scarecrow looks down menacingly
Causing fear is his main delight
Demon scarecrow

There’s nothing peaceful seemingly
Evil comes straight through heedlessly
Fright comes to those who are in sight
Power of the scarecrow tonight
Tortures your hurt soul endlessly
Demon scarecrow
