Put in lethargy
Weakness stupor sleepiness
No energy left

The dormant sparks lit
Evoking unknown feelings 
Buried in the heart
Waiting to leave lethargy
Melting the two crazy hearts...

Dog
days of 
summer are
lingering long,
taking their toll as
lethargy grabs hold.
So I pray:
Hurry
Fall!...

Like steam I float and drift, aimlessly
dripping like warm bottled water
spilt onto a floor, leaving the lazy
footprints of a dawdling daughter....

Nestled justly,
the thief he slumbers
sprawled spreadeagled 
upon my bed.
By witching hour
his deafening snore
drives one to ...

Lumbering lethargy....

No more negatively
More positive energy
Surround me with your synergy
Remove the lethargy
Nonsense is something we do not have time for its an allergy...

Stifling heat
broods on the land,
smothers any impulse
to stir.
Sluggish afternoon hours
drip, 
stick 
to the skin,
steeping us
in lethargy.

They(demons) only come around to draw energy
from you - leaving you feeling lethargy -
be mad not, smoke and drink
your happiness through laughter that is chink...

The clamor heard 
In the urgent awakening of Spring
Slowly dies down
During the indolent lethargy of Summer,
But quickly revives
With the crisp tanginess of Fall,
Only to be subdued again
By the icy brittleness of Winter....

M-agnanimous zeal within 
E-nhances the ray of light; 
A-iming to show spiritual courage, 
N-ot fearing the dark of 
N-ight. 

G-reat vigor ends sluggishness 
O-r lethargy that you feel; 
M-onday February twelfth, 
E-mploy a magnanimous 
Z-eal....

The lighting, it was over-bright
Sleep, now a luxury deprived
For here there is no day or night
The lighting, it was over-bright.
Lethargy saps the will to fight
How long can he retain his mind?
The lighting it was over-bright
Sleep now a luxury deprived....

Lethargy and depression
Overpowers my once
Sanguine outlook on life. Now I seem
Taboo

Lavish lavender memories
Out-stretch and terrorize my dreams. An infinite
Vault inside my mind. Of 
Endless thoughts, of
Redundant grief.

there is something
about twilight ~
energy entangled
with light and love
wrapping the familiar
in shadow tied with a bow

nothing is there
in the bright lights ~
lethargy sprawled
not with light and love
but exposing the strange
with unwanted crystal clarity...

apathy grows, dread heavy in the heart
laziness lingers on the spirit’s light
sluggishness gestures - cloudy, dimming hope
idleness, lethargy, dark shadow’s plight

Of Gunas three, Tamas holds sway,
cajoling consciousness to rest,
though the child in us wants to play,
of zest and zeal we’re dispossessed.

Heart contracted and soul’s stance stooped,
we have been by lethargy duped,
yet like the Phoenix we may rise,
embracing each breath in surprise....

When I am all by myself
Lethargy possesses me
And the creativity lying
Deep within me, oozes out.

I become intensely alert
Inwardly and sit quietly
Pondering, over the
Meaning of existence.

I glide with the wings of 
Feelings and imagination
To soar into the realms of
Varied visions of creation....

The fallen rain
                          natural lethargy
                          smooth we sleep life ..

                          the sound of rain
                           pure allusion of dream
                          cradles us in caresses,
                          wet kisses.....

I am too susceptible to poetry
a perfect metaphor 
wakes me from stupor
and a clever rhyme
takes me to the sublime
while an elegant elegy
drives away my lethargy
but a mismetered sonnet
makes me hot under the bonnet.

Yet for all these wonders
I struggle to be free
and usually draw a blank....
