Short Laboriously Poems

scarlet cardinal laboriously tightens nest
leaf colors dazzle
November smiles at diverse colors
Flows into her redness as naturally
As December sprinkles white...

Have courage for the great sorrow of life
Patience for the small ones
You laboriously accomplished daily task
Go to sleep in peace Eternal God is awake

lovely lithe lively lemurs
languishing lovingly lengthwise
laboriously lightening our loads
laughing in lemur-like linguistics

lovely lacksidasical loving lemurs
letting loose leeches live
living lemur-like lightness
lollygagging in lemur-like ways...

In The  Formless Womb of Mind
Thoughts  Are Conceived
Admitted by Water
Nourished and Fed
Contraction to Accommodate Expansion
Laboriously Giving Birth to Recycled New Born Ideas
or Dormant Dreams on Wings
Received by Water
Innocence Groomed With Love and Care
Above and Below.

Vestments of yesteryear
dotage's gone vague
zeitgeist's heart
wound up clock like
ticks laboriously
errands run through
veins seasonally
in the plumbing
till they 'fall'
ah, but that's 
the cultural attache' 
bound by render
on the wall
ghostly meandering
through the mist
the haze
the humidity
makes the window
fog up so that what
lurks within is obscure....

Ten hours per day, six days per week
are the hours I'm working at the WTC.
Tons of steel everyday I laboriously carry,
which will be used to reinforce the building's concrete.
By the end of the day I am quite fatigued.
That's why I haven't been on line too much recently.
It feels like I only have time to work, eat and sleep.
Just getting this posted took a lot out of me....

Woe be me this longing wait,
endure as must this human fate
trials to tempt infatuate
spiritual light in solid state....

Physical being laboriously toils
torn are we our souls to soil
amongst such blood in anger boil
why are we cast to such turmoil......

Hidden mysteries deep within
an agent,yeast,awaits to begin
a germ responds to inner hymn
as returning preparation's blend........

I climb the mountain
To fulfil  my joy.
I climb the mountain,
Its steepy and rocky.
Laboriously I climb,
With hand by hand.,
On that movement , I come often like grave
But I climbed the mountain.
I see the people from the mountain,
They are small and with their mansion dwellings.
I leave the thoughts 
To blew in air.
And  I proud about myself…

DISMANTLED CREATION

For life is not as easy as thou thinkst,
Going through all this protocol wasn't easy
For I racked my brain laboriously.

Is my effort avain?
And the best is yet out of me
Never give up they say
But it still don't yield positive.

Dismantle is at work!
For rustication is possible
Blame me not for thy perish
For thy don't seem successful.

   jinxed souls i combat 
     each night laboriously~
       snorting loud on bed

       cognizant i lay
browsing mounds of ceaseless tasks~ 
      drifting in my brain

      fire flies breed in cheer
enclosing frame serenely~
      rouses my spirit
 
          i soar in night air
enthralling glimpses of stars~
       steering halts at dawn

cycles thirsty dreamy thoughts~
as i sail on boat with snorts

I searched laboriously for you in the cold winter rains,
shivering from the shallowness.
I chased you on the hot, sultry days of summer,
feeling your presence hovering over me like a winged angel
with a message from God.

I felt you change me during the reflective, transitional days of fall,
with a promise of better times and abundant colors and joy.
I found you, though, quite unexpectedly in spring blossoms. 
In my newness of life, for the first time, I felt whole....

A work of art 
laboriously created
exquisitely spun
silken magic, 
dainty looking

do not let this fool you
she is strong enough to survive
most rain storms, 
and study enough to capture prey

her maker sits close by
as to not scare lunch
beads of water from last night
help her shimmer and dazzle

the tiny bugs are intrigued
mesmerized, they begin to climb
toward their final destination.
mother spider arrives in time to 
wrap them carefully
lunch and supper...

All his tomorrows rattled by
rumbling along the predestined track
an endless freight train passing
as he sat in traffic at life’s crossing

Lulled into pseudo sleep by the monotony
of the swaying flashes of daylight
he had stopped counting the passing cars
sat in his loneliness, longing for the caboose

That fantasy of life’s last tomorrow
laboriously lumbering into view
blindly following all his yesterdays
disappearing in the hazy heat of passing
