Breaking Ground

fertile mother earth
cradles inanimate life
'til heat arouses
unfurling delicate limbs 
straining to touch golden warmth
Form: Tanka


Micro-Gods

We have living cells
And inanimate organs
In our body

The body is inside soul’s glow
The soul controls the body
We are as if micro-gods

A Life of It's Own

From atop my bookcase,
It’s spirit -
Clings to my experience.
Nicks and breaks -
A personality.
Inanimate objects;
Breathe with me -
With inanimate breath.

Inanimate Object

cold and steely with no mind
smooth but rough at the same time
no control over the damage caused
needed for protection 
but lusted after for the power to rule
war


All of a Sudden . . .

The sound of thunder grows louder each second
the tremor, the vibration inanimate yet like a weapon
Softly the rain pelts down on me
Setting the swollen clouds free . . .

The Dance

When the moonlight glows
shadows will awaken.

Inanimate guests
attend an earthly ball.

Gently swaying
and making love,
they dance
to heavenly music
until dawn's soft light.

Cheerless

When i awake
   and find the world
   empty,
   I feel inanimate
   and cold...
   So I become less
   living-lipped friend,
  and further friend
   of dead violets
  and dark winds...!

Her Perfect Job

Working with people made her feel stressed,
preferred to work with inanimate objects,
furniture appealing,
she had a feeling,
called her new business, "Damsel in Distress."

Practically Inanimate

They say I'm inanimate and hardly ever move,
mostly hang out, eat, sleep 20 hours and occasionally poop,
that want me to entertain,
they must all be insane,
Hey I'm a sloth and thats all I can do!

Existence

We are all things in this world
Even the inanimate lifeforms
Like Plants
Rocks
You could say the particles also have a brain or two
We are all different
Some are talented
Some are not
But something we all got
Is Existence

Darkness

Darkness surrounds me
Hatred floods my head
Images of her inanimate body
Lying on the blood stained bed
Brings a satisfying grin to my face
Still I hear her timorous screams
It pleases me greatly
As this is what I have dreamed

After Tuesday, even the calender goes WTF My hearing ain't all that good but I surely ain't deaf Inanimate objects get together And declare their displeasure It's time to change our lifestyle and clean up this mess

worry,
the darkest
                dark
of solitude
a
silent
        veto:
inanimate,
clouds my
field 
      of view,
brings
spasms
       of emotion,
disturbs..
                   
sunlight's rays
with
      shadows

Let the Word and Action Agree

E-ven word and action must agree, 
P-lain speech is lifeless; 
E-liminate the insipidity, 
N-o movement is tasteless. 

N-ever do dull performance, 
E-arly twenty-sixth of January; 
R-efrain from being inanimate, 
J-ust let the word and action 
A-gree.

Inanimate

I only want to die,
I want to scream,
and to be a puppet
to never have to breathe.
I only want to freeze
I am about to freak
and to be a porcelain doll
to never have to speak.
I only want to sleep
I want forever again
and to never live,
to become a mannequin.

Dropped

I have been dropped. I fall fast,
Plunging into rage.
Inanimate. 
I have no feelings or thoughts.
My end is to expose,
The cardinal demigods.
Through heartache and devastation no person should feel.
I fall, oblivious, augmenting anguish to everything,
Here and there.

Inanimate
Not alive 
Not in the group of animals nor humans
Only differences may be of the same substance
Yet have not a soul, spirit, brain lacking signs of life and consciousness
Nonliving without being
