his holdings they were huge,
but, when he hoped to cash them in,
he found indifference was his sin.

Indifference

I kissed my lips,
And drank the juice of silence.
I kissed your lips,
And drank the juice of metamorphosis.
Why two tasted like same?

Premium Member Deceased Isles

when are metaphors
not applicable as proof
that they're existent

when a person dies
but remains here quite alive
mute indifference

Premium Member Thought of the day

by indifference crass and curt
we cannot deny that we were hurt
in witness mode we shrugged and smiled
as bliss beats continued to spurt

Premium Member Thought of the day

betrayed, discarded, abandoned
indifference is the ultimate pain 
yet did we not build up expectation 
and now sorrow, wearing this chain

The River

Poetry is written
when we feel a sense of wonder about
the unknown,
confusions,
indifference
far from ourselves
because it is like light.

Cold Hearted Your cold indifference Keeps me at arm’s length Perhaps the warm rays of my love Will melt your icy heart

The untended plant
withers away, leaf by leaf ~
a time of indifference.

Why do we falter,
poised at the divine altar,
blaming it on gravity?

Premium Member Waiting In the Wings

They watch, they wait
to see my fate.
never adding nor subtracting
hauntingly and numb.
They wait in the wings
of indifference 
to announce my outcome.

Forever Inked

Dirty water
washes away
poetic indifference

Leaving the stain
of what will be
—on what forever might have been

A Word

A word was lost
in a sentence vast.
The eye that read it
moved too fast.
It shed a tear 
for it's daddy dear.
Writer, writer,
why'd you put me here?

Slavery

Grey faces
Concrete
Diets high in fat
Fumes
Pollution
Days that turn to night
Red eyes
Indifference
Longing for cheap pleasures
Slavery in America is different

Gun Cultural Indifference

When a society places an eight year old child
On trial for murder with a gun
Then it is time for that society
to take a good l o n g  h a r d look at itself

Indifference

To inflict on tomorrow,
the empty promises of fate

The will to reign indifferent
—the devil’s cruelest form of hate

Indifference ineptitude the soul of sorrow
I see here.. In this media led world 
Laughter is bought, sentiment directed
Mankind in limbo with value de-selected.

Premium Member Lets Toss Heads Or Tails

indifference flows 
          parallel to our concerns
            truth lies in between

~now His Friends Had Gone~

Fingertips traced goodnight kiss,
wiping away his indifference
from her lips,

and in the whisper of his eyes
she saw unfettered plea,
“Please greet the dawn with me”

INDIFFERENCE



Battered by the hurricane of your
Indifference
My heart, hastily took refuge         
Into
The harbor of solitude!
