if
quakers
are shakers-
they do it with style...

The blind man visited you
With the help of his stick…

You let him in.

When he left you found out that
Your wallet has gone…...

It's hard to be minimalistic
When everything seems worth keeping
And I can't keep my mind clean
When everything seems worth keeping...

The dyed bamboo of Chinese finger traps
Should have taught me everything

To strive is to cut through jungle
To surrender is to know
I am jungle...

     Seems Minimalism:
     Life choosing whichever theme
     May be peerless on quality prime.
     At last ends in burial
     turning trivial.

A tincture
of anguish drips
 inside your mouth-
 held back
when you should scream
and only have yourself 
to hear.

         I am not verbose, I am laconic,
         at most, I shorten the poem,
            I diminish the lie,
           I stabilize the truth,
          I am a minimalist poet!...

Frugality 

Spending on things that's
really necessary
in restrained manner.
~X~X~X~


Minimalism

A technique that's marked
by extreme sparseness, simple
wilful lack of style.

All I need
Is God
All I want
Is God
All else is a meaningless
Exercise in frivolity
For you can only
Leave this world
With what you came in with

Quaint

gas street lamps;

not too many are left.

Their soft, warm, amber glows

replaced by hard, cold, white beams;

the new  L  E  D  technology
 
of our advanced,

modern age.

Well chosen

One
told us,
learn from
the flowers 
and birds--
beautiful 
and
thriving--
with 
no cares

joyfully give
be content
love

two coats?
give one away

In your passing
                       I promised love everlasting
                      and now in the seasons return
                                I promise not to cry
                                        I lie.

my needs are simple
when isolated 
from my wants
it took a while
to realize
my many wants
were mere
obstructions
preventing me
from
focusing
on my dreams

Redeem time* to the utmost

by God’s triumphant  might

fulfilling His will; faith-driven

while loving neighbors as yourself.

white
 a sensation of floating
 suspended
    in
an emblematic
essence
of infinity

distilled down
 transcending
   the conventional

a pure form
  an absence
of colour
  as a timeless presence
perfectly aligned
 questioning
    reshaping
the undertones
    of enigma
with
an interplay of shades
meditative,
 therapeutic
as
 a whisper
in the
  maze
     of imagination

I love a blank canvas
how it focuses the eyes.

It’s black and white without
the usual vestige of messy
attention-grabbing details.

We’ll color those in later,
spending our creative time
whitewashing it with the precision
of our own nervous perfectionism.

We’ll strip away minimalism for cultural
resonance and focus the razor attention
of ‘couture’ obsession and wider comment.
