By Myself

On this warm Spring evening I bathe in cool moonlight.
I cherish these quiet nights.
Listening to the chiming twinkling of the forgotten stars.

A creative spirit who lives inside her head
Her heart spills forth in ink, each syllable a story
Pouring three decades of emotions onto the pages

Premium Member Bifocals

Through the window of connectedness,
    the landscape grins.
 Introspective roadways?—
    nursery clay.
All the somber mountains—
    props in a play.

Premium Member Old Glory

Rising and falling, wavering and waving
   
   Bloody battles, lofty notions shattered...

Now limply resting, introspective
 
   Til she catches a ride on the wind

Advice For Someone

Stop being pretender to paramount
 care for not be so rude
don't act too crooked
and being stupid and introspective
  superior is  being simpler,
extroverted
than a villain... !

Premium Member drawn to her

suiters were drawn to her
she was reflective
what was she contemplating?
She seemed introspective and preoccupied
Women who are pensive are often fascinatingly contradictory
men waited for their turn

Premium Member Body Language

Introspective or
Sparkling bright,along
Life's highway we alight.Now
Crestfallen,then tearful sad,
Pensive,wistful blue
Steadfastly our moods show through;
Close up or afar
Our moods make us who we are.
Form: Lyric

Virgo

Virginal composure sits judgment on life
Introspective awareness dispenses advice
Righteous and lawful, all wording concise
Grounded and centred declining all vice
Objective perspective but still very nice.
Form: Acrostic

God of the Black Flames

Silent sentinels rise from the tide,
bones of steel, nourished, refined.
Like Canti, a lord forged from the mind,
bound to the earth for the ones who cry.
Painted for the hymn of adults—
swinging a bat for freedom of lies.

Four Modern Haiku

Modern Haiku  

Wet dog
Looks into a rain pool
Contemplative 

When it rains
Cats sleep on window sills
Pensive mice


Meditative rain 
Gently descends
In September



Introspective  
Mountain village 
In the mist

Sonburn (On the Inside)

You're gonna figure it out 
once you get a burn from the sonshine
that quiet introspective moment
this whole way and all those people with whom you've spent your time
all to ask why ?
you're gonna figure it out 
once you get a burn
from the sonshine

Truer Words

Why must words never be so true?
Turning my skin from olive to blue,
From the cesspool of my heart comes pain,
It reeks with the stench of an infected vein,
Someone ought to come forth, break the vault,
Though from an introspective look, it was my fault.

Premium Member LOST AND FOUND

LOST AND FOUND:
AN INTROSPECTIVE FLASHBACK

Lost and in despair,
I sat in abandonment:
Self-belief found me:-

Glory be to God
For my self-introspection,
And His healing grace:-

To not know yourself,
Can really be horrific:
Not seeking to, worst.
Form: Senryu

Insecurity

Insecurity. Bled me dry.
The seed. Root.
Ghosts in my soul.

Invasion.
Laughter at speakeasies.
Bubbles in the champagne.

Surfaced, too quickly.
Whether on my right,
Or, left of you.

You let the  
Bubbles rise to your
Unthoughtful Head.

None the less.

Meaningless Rhymes-5

Stumbling through existence
having passive days and active nights
your happiness a facade 
contemplate promises were made 
wonder are they kept safe
but past is a cloud of haze
don't look any further don't turn your face
it was dawn when i met u it'll be dusk when we call it a day.

Premium Member Introspective Indecisiveness

Introspective indecisiveness
Ignoring ideal intricacies
Intelligent indigents ignoring ideas in idleness

Sage sensuous silliness
Soaring significantly succinctly, sassily
Sashaying sensitively scoring sensibilities savagely

Words winging wildly 
Wildflowers writing winged words.

Ohm Sweet Ohm (Tribute To Kraftwerk)

Ohm sweet ohm. Home sweet home.
Through computer cascades I roam.
Introspective resonances fade.
As quickly and eloquently as the plans I made.

Infomercials resist and persist in my head.
Ohm's reverberate until i'm dead .
Sweet shifting breezes in my mind.
Ohm how I despise your rotten kind.

Premium Member Listening To the Waves

The pearl lay
In the half shell
The oyster paid and was spent

The bird fell
From the sky
Shackled to a fishing tackle ascent

The beach stretched
To the loneliest point
Where infinity was met

The man sank
In an ocean of regret
Forgetting what his life meant

And I stayed
Wondering where
My rhythm went

Pandemic

It can be as lonely as you want it to be—
or you can make it whatever you want it to be.

A year seems to be a very long time 
	if you keep thinking about it
Isolation can be very introspective
	if you want to climb inside
A mind is a very powerful tool
	if you let it wonder afar
Socialization is an embraceable thought
	if you want to suffer it
