Short Inanities Poems

Here I am
having stared down death
listening
to this purile crap
trapped by nosy neighbours
trading inanities
without a thought
to my recent survival
of a massive heartattack....

superficial courtesies
hollow social chatter 
mundane inanities
are so wearisome 

let’s go extempore
rid of habit patterns
free from all bondage
in communion with soul

another day
an agenda awaits
but we are not drawn
toward mundane inanities
aimed at attaining earthy goals
so we linger about awhile
nurturing the vibrancy 
of bliss magnetism 
humming within...

A big bang has occurred
The boogie of creation recurred!

On a cord in a womb, 
Life revolves around it-
Or a lover’s tomb,
The mourner rotates around it.

My tongue wags profanities?
Then explain your inanities!

If love is not a gain,
Then, why its loss a pain?...

In a humming white room
mother was up late but unresponsive.
Her face and body hooked into tubes,
We stood around whispering inanities
not listening to our words
just the gasping sounds
of the life support machinery.

Whispering
thoughts to one's idlest fancy,
Imagining feelings
to one's innermost soul.
Babbling inanities,
crying insanities,
Wondering, wandering

where does it want one,
where does it seduce one
along the strange source
of forbidden mysteries,
of unexplored paths,
of untouched feelings,
of ecstasies unknown,
or unthought of.

Where will it end?...
