urge to do
this or that
what’s the cause

living light
is complete
yet we fall

first descent
then ascent
seems like play

is sentience a curse if we feel
God’s breath breathing all forms
and is innocence heart’s weakness
as bliss magnetism organic form storms

Premium Member Uptime On Idle

Listen to poem:
Lost with time to spare
on the up and up to crescendo.
Now, uptime set to idle, bored!
Gliding, downsliding -
freefalling to the flipside.

Idle

When I am idle and alone…

That is when the good possibilities are ruled out. 

It is like watching a hundred shooting stars burn out forever.

articulation reinforces
the glue that grips us
on the canvas of life

silence on the other hand
being bereft of attribute
enlivens soul’s stillness

Premium Member Idle, My Idol

Should we assume
    What God would have us do ~

If we ourselves
    Can’t even think it through?

Idle Bums

If sadness be the eternal gift of love
Live out a life of Love till Eternity
And let all sadness Lie
Because nothing good
Ever comes from rotten plums
And idle bums

we’re spoon fed 
being breathed
by God’s breath

our mind thinks
and heart feels
misaligned

scripts we weave
hypnotic
delusion

If we be space within which flows time,
drumming a beat sounding love’s chime,
where then is the fun, if no surprises stun
and there are no imperfections to be undone?
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Idle Chatter

There is far too much idle chatter,
On trivial things that do not matter
Perhaps some sensible debate
Something that the world awaits
Be more helpful than the latter.
Form: Limerick

Idle

Words pass unspoken,
Louder than any that have been uttered,
In love, in passion, in frustration, in pain,
The soundlessness of the divine,
Clearly present in the refrain.

Premium Member Idle Pond

A pond kept unclean
                             is detrimental to all
                                           that accretes to it.

It Is Idle Talk

Life is idle talk
Do you want to read my poem?
It is not available
Try again   later

Life is idle talk
Do you to see me physically?
I am not available
Try never again later

apology from heart with eyes smiling
that ego spawned aberrations be healed 
a simple task yet difficult for some
foolishly frittered is the gift of life
soul deadened to throb of the cosmic hum
Form: Rhyme

Idle

The answers don’t seem to match the questions,
The lesson have not been fully learned,
The struggle continues, the progress is real,
Pressing on seems the course, 
And standing still remains an option.

Premium Member Idle musings

each moment in linear time
if we be mindfully awake 
we will notice the clues
life leaves all around

if response be gentle
soul presence ascends
whilst if driven by the ego
the life lessons are repeated

We Are Idle Together

All we want is to stop being idle. 

In this time of grief. 

The urgency is over. 

That once that kept us sane.

And now we feel lazy. 

But if she could talk to us-

She would say she is being lazy too.

perhaps responsibility stifles spontaneity 
if we be the doer so enacting the play
but innocence in resonation with love
is motiveless and without any inhibition
as exuberance outpouring effervescence

Idle Hands

Lil-babies are dying
N caskets.
trapped in pain
burning n ashes.
buck da compassion
cus they don't even care......
but it's what is wrote down
that brings us here to question .
Of weather there's a god or 
even a heaven.

wherever there be thought know ego is at play
even if the thought be delicate and subtle
simply because thoughts are dualistic 
and light of Self is transcendent 
poised beyond space-time
in subjective awareness 
dwelling in peace

Premium Member Vignette-Idle Talk

Her chatter annoyed her Queen one day
Afflicted she could only echo what others say,
In time she just wasted away,
rejected by the lover of her choice,
'til she became,just a voice.


The legendary nymph Echo,her lover was Narcissis

Idle Thoughts

A thread of thought I caught
Then lost to watch it dangle
Among the ones flown past
To hopelessly entangle.
I try to tell you not to ask.
What said in haste might strangle.
The web of lies in idle thoughts
The truth would surely mangle.
