Listless 
Depleted
Existence, oddly muted
Minutes drag on
Bears are smart to hibernate
Not much to chirp about

Premium Member Rebirth

water
splashes
against my tired face
courses down
my front
then my
back
revives
listless feet
I emerge
greet
the world
in love again

Premium Member Alone

when i see a ball
sitting listless on a lawn
should i be sad
that it was left there
     alone 
or happy that it was played with
     yesterday?

Jaded

I am torn and worn,
Cracks and crevices cloaked,
Courage wearing thin,
Hope, listless and frail,
Saddled with unwavering troubles,
In sequential order.


Premium Member Depressed Moments

connective
         lines
cross hatch
my

nearby
     a refrain
listless
nocturnes 
of     despair:
reminders
of
lost
    expectations

Premium Member Sanguinity


Splintered hope shards,
despondently adrift in tear stream,
reflect the remnant rays of resurgence,
designs the last lattice of dream,
lacing the listless life.

The Eve of Fruit

Berry tree,
Caress me in your blissful thorns,
Life seems listless without your cheery-
Amber blossoms and-
Sugar encased fruit,
Ah! But to Adam, Eve was to perish.

Premium Member Hanging Listless Wind Chimes

the wind chimes hang aimlessly
a rare event on a summer day in Kansas
they are usually whipping around
jingling a cheery tune
as if we are getting ready to be blown to Oz

If Death Was Your........

If death was your lover,
Would you be tempted to kiss its lips?
Would you pursue its potent turmoil of bliss,
Pursue its kiss into its unknown,
Beating, listless,
Heart.

Listless

Soft rain
Leaves shake
Worry fades
but sleep escapes
thoughts prowl
Dream awake
her face only
my mind quakes
close my eyes
Toss and sigh
What night
reveals
the  sun will hide

Premium Member Posterity May Not Understand

~ Posterity May Not Understand ~
 
           Why I traipse five miles a day
              to whittle time away

            Idling in a safe daydream
              gazing at a listless stream

The Morning Dawn of Afternoon

Alone
silent with no sound
lie objects quiet near
exposed beneath billowed clouds painted white 
in skies of listless blue 
where thoughts rumble loud but silent through
the morning dawn of afternoon.

Premium Member Listless Song Of The Starving-POTD

Israeli hostages and Gazans hollowed,
the dark cold cruelty of some in humankind.
Gray circles under frightened eyes,
bones protruding from fading frames.
Listless song of the starving,
grieving God. ~

Premium Member Not Easy

Noxious nights are starless
Murky dismal days sleazy
To saunter with life listless
In mist of misery isn’t easy.

Premium Member Summer Omelette

In summer, listless feel of sloth he gets, 
stops the sluggish time, the clock hands he sets.
     In hot kitchen he doesn’t go,
     keeps whipped eggs on portico.
He snoozes in shade, sun cooks omelettes.

Premium Member Lackadaisical

Listless as a slug, he
  lowered his standards, as
    lazy habits lingered.
      Leaving a good job, his
    life languished. With such a
  lax demeanor, a whole
lot of time was wasted.

Premium Member The Pretender

The Hound dissed the Princess,
With a dour scowl.
He hid his little mistress,
Quickly to be avowed.
The inquest was listless,
with nothing much found.
Now the Bonnie Prince,
will wear a Kings Crown.

Premium Member Twilight Hour

In the twilight closing hour 
walking listless the last mile,
see in the memory lane long 
faded faces rise from dust pile.

Premium Member Empty Without You

My heart is empty without you
Your touch makes my every day 
And fill my nights with love and 
Blisses wishes and passionate 
Kisses.
If it were not for that and listless 
Lists and endless gifts i'd be just
Empty without you

Night Shift

night
sighs deep
shuffles listless feet
yawns and stretches
scratches an invisible itch
fumbles with some change
drops another shiny quarter
in tonight’s slotted half-moon
nods with sleepy approval
and drifts back 
to sleep

Premium Member Nest Eggs

that string
the one the nestlings thought a worm
blows listless on the wind
as clapboards rattle
on withered dreams
of forever
a silence calls
passing clouds
to mourn
a string
