Short Immobile Poems

Sweat drenched body cold
Limbs pinned to side, immobile,
Mind’s eye remembers...

A hummingbird
  hangs in the air
  immobile as in slow motion!
  A totally enchanted flower
  smiles  cheerly...

Pirate
Bold fierce
Swabbing, looting, fighting
Ship, flag, chair, remote
Sitting, yawning, sleeping
Lethargic, immobile
Gamer...

Dark clouds cloak my mind
chilled winds caress bare branches
immobile as cable cords

Dejected minds- Crack
at perilous mothers- Screams
then crying- she threatens peace...

Jello mold converts…
frozen believers

Trapped in plain sight,
their freedom to lose

Set in the form,
immobile and suspect

Hope locked in stillness
—unable to move

...Idle hands separate egg whites, 
Brushing dust across black paper, 
Bouncing off these plain walls, 
Loose among white coats 
...I'm on the ropes, 
Immobile 
With proof: 
Pure.

I used to be vibrant
Cheerful
Passionate
About life
Love
And poetry
Now I feel stagnant
Uninspired
Immobile
Unwilling to write
Lifeless
Caged
Procrastinating.
I miss the old me.
I miss how I used to be....

Nightmare
Holds you hostage
Pinned in place immobile
Fear grips you like never before
You cannot breathe, terror implodes within
Stuck in nasty devil’s clutches, 
Cornered, eaten alive
A painful death
Nightmare...

If I just stand here,
Quiet like,
Not blinking an eye,
Without a sigh or a moan,
If I just stand here,
Immobile,
Will it be all right?
What you ask?
You know...
Tell me, will it go away?
If I just stand here, and
Pray?

the earth is a gossamer old beauty--
;inscrutable; the whole of humanity immobile
paralyzed from sedulous faith; erased.
it's the beast's propensity-- destruction of
capability; silence repudiates language lyrics,
deems sense; contraband....

Beautiful birds, taking their fill,
At the feeder, gentle and still…
Risking the time, immobile,
Blessed by the treasure, the meal…
Delicious fortune in the feeder,
Breathtaking, playing follow the leader!

You have the ability to beguile
With a subtle and unique style
  I love your captivating smile
  To capture it, I’d walk a mile
The mystery of you isn't hostile 
Your aura leaves me immobile

I begin to heal
breathing in your essence; 
My heartbeat is surreal 
erratic lines keep time; 
Those eyes render me immobile; 
Prophetic stomach in knots
remembering how to feel; 
Intoxicating incandescence, 
happily ever after could be real....

Lazy
Feeling worn-out
Anchored in a stillness
Of the world spinning you around
Thoughts flew ahead the immobile vessel
Dragging it a few steps forward
Reign a latent vassal
Of dormant pawn
Body

I touch her cheeks with my lips
somethings seems amiss...
for no warmth greets my kiss

I touch my hand to her wrist
no sign, even the least...
can fate deal such bitter twist?


Immobile, she lies on her bed 
it sinks slowly in my head...
my lovely mother... is dead!...

I want to exile 
from this still-life (though it is 
still life) but I found 

so hard even my 
own motion within those stiff,
immobile patterns

of living... How knows?
Maybe there is no rise and 
fall, but the gaudy

illusion; the cold,
inevitable stasis 
of dried paint spots on a wall....

Elude me, sleep,
like a scorned lover
who leaves me breathless,
chest tight,
gripped with vines.

Leave me, sleep,
alone in the void,
not one sense available
as I hang,
immobile in purgatory.

Call me, sleep,
vibrant siren in an inky sea,
I fall to your whim,
oblivious,
into your arms.

Before time fails
How I wish
The g

         s of sand
In the hourglass
Were replaced
By immobile boulders
That must be 
Slowly
        Methodically
                        Moved

So starkly silent now
So bare
The branches of the tree
In nakedness
It stands not shivering
Despite the winds
Of shame
It is immobile
Inert as death
And deathlier pale
With nothing to let to hide
And this oak
So formidable before
In the merest cycle of his love
Stands finite and frail
Amidst a brown trash heap of leaves....

A cacophony of images flow
 past and future dreams on the go,
thinking two things at once
 focused on lunch,
twirling lights and jingled tambourines
 paint a picturesque magical dream.
All is quiet, immobile in the sway
 that dances in the mind play
while in the background soft and indiscrete
 falls the wandering thoughts of mind talk streets....

It has been dragged down
And with the weight of rocks
I remain immobile
Glaring in defiance at the spotlight
Threatening to blind me.

It seems to me
Like it started and ends here
Only here
The now
The present
This moment

If I wish hard enough
I wonder:
Will I be engraved in sand?
Or a wall of hearts?
Thumping…suspended…thumping…
Till my release comes…...

drag the cigarette
drop time here&there
let your ashes scatter.
my head rests on your
chest, pitter-pattering 
me to sleep. away
from me, i dream
of walking on clouds,
only to blow away 
in the wind. endowed
with sudden sight,
immobile, pinned
down tight, i fight 
amongst myselves. 
i can't go free,
i can't get me to
see where it is
i'm going....

if you cannot change learn or grow
or understand anything about another’s thoughts, pains or ideas
I feel sorry for you, but I do not want to be with you

I cannot fathom your stagnant life
surely you put off others
due to your obstinate one-sided ideas
and your immobile ways

I stay away,
for I have encountered similar people
who do not want to change learn or grow...
