Soft curls finger plays...

species
sings its tune-
instruments of
praise;
a 
chorus
of alarm-
as in bed we
laze...

We fill our busy days,with this and that,
playthings of each new craze
never stopping,just to laze-
or into our hearts,to gaze....

to laze upon the sea shore
strung between the balmy trees
one feels a part of heaven
touch the stars caress the moon

I used to stay under the tree
To watch  black ants in front of me;
They keep marching on,
From twilight till dawn,
While I just laze in summer spree....

There was a young thin cow of Holland
She would love to laze around on hot sand
Eating grass was well past
She wanted to have a blast
By munching organic fruits freshly canned...

laze upon long stinging 
persist the tear-falling stab 
can't subsume a choice for yourself 

It's a watching pleasure 
and my breathing survival 
to mark your sucking endurance...

Long summer days bid everyone
To finish the work to be done
But also think of ways
To do nothing but laze
In hammocks hung far from the sun.

Concocting words, like a potion,
Like a witches brew, but at times like soda-pop;
Bubbly, sweet, but inorganic, artificial 
Like the lies we laze in.

That's life now, huh?
How about that....

Sanguine songs of summer drift on by
for foolish souls who laze away.

He that gathereth in summer is a wise son, but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame....

I, the brook of your wails
Sodden my heart
Alongside the sheets of fails
The fault of what is to start

Perhaps the drama
Is too much for such
Fragile, naive.But mama
I'll take a seat and watch

You just ought the drama
To laze 
And let father
Fade...

....one breath length

                     a phrase

laze 
       then gaze        awhile......


...in open style  

the trick
                    be organic 

let the line
                  define

                             itself

Memory recall,
a squall where we fall
to relive moments 
of heart’s sentiments.

Do we make a wish
or in pain languish?
What’s the emotion
causing commotion?

Our ambedo gaze,
choosing thus to laze,
seeks but a caress,
to heal soul’s duress.

sunlight pours
through the trees -
I stand to watch
as light kaleidoscopes
through branches,
filtered through leaves
 
a cloudless sky 
mirrors 
my unfogged mind
 
I see -
one of those rare days
where I glide
through life’s medium,
inured to the passing of time...

The leaves dancing on the trees. The crinkling steps, the gusts, the natural silence. The unimposing mountains. Laze. Existence that validates itself. Ephemeral, cyclical, beautiful. An old distant friend that you may never truly know. 

I love you because what else would I do...

All day long on the boulevard
Fire escape I elude with attitude
Heat wave of summer's sting
A tepid breeze of spring 
I sing of pastels and 
Lemonade in the shade
Summer time haze and laze
Yes! Steel drum LABOR DAY PARADE
from the thick VIRGIN ISLANDS CRAZE
In my imagination...

Unfocused gaze, as bliss throbs rise
Soul, in the void wading
Poised presence beholds in surprise 
Magnetism cascading

Awareness self-aware
Sidestepping ego snare
Breathes in love suffused air

Feeble thoughts laze
Unfocused gaze

Choice charms cheery
Hurl hints happy
Opt ooze only
Clear charms crazy
Observe oomph odd
Lift learning laze
Apt aim applauds
Touch thrilling trace
Earn etch easy
Calm clever craze
Oblige only
Crude cunning case
Observe obsess
Ask and attest

We fished off the pier in carefree days
when girls wore tartan trews.
In endless summer sun we’d laze
when Tommy Steele was “Singing the Blues”.

Now it’s saffron robes and no-take zones,
maybe coffee in the cafe at the pier,
replaced by ubiquitous mobile phones,
like conversation, things just disappear....

Choice comforts craze,
Aim answer asks;
Limp loiters laze,
Mind misty mask.
Embrace each ebb,
Used urn undone;
Trouble trips trap,
Heap hurting hunt;
Ash appoints art,
Niche nurtures nigh;
Aid arcs apart,
Sign secret sighs;
Infer incline,
Ask apt align.

Laze in a daze,
Apt voice confess;
Unlearn the maze,
Give calm address;
Hurl a new phase,
Teach a wild theme;
Expose the craze,
Rest beyond scheme.
Grip a sure sense,
Reap a bold case;
Oomph sets the tense,
Observe the pace;
Meet if you must,
See beyond trust.

my breath took 
eyes widened
exquisite is such a delicate word
but her beauty is absurd
Planets stop their turning
lips hesitate to meet
armies fall at her feet
Her eyes taste my soul
and burdens take a rest
Crooked smile better than the best
Imperfections trace her face
in search of better days
as in her light i laze...
