Softly she snoozes
While the wide world whirls wildly
Never noticing

(fun with combining senryu and alliteration)...

Fifty years old and back in high school
Standing here naked like a total fool
No one seems to care
That I am totally bare
Not noticing me is much more uncool...

Yes I am holding down the couch.
Thank you for noticing.
Tomorrow?
Why not?
I’m the most experienced.
Obviously the best for the job
What kind of money are we talking?...

she turned 
her back to
me while we
were sleeping

i got closer trying 
to spoon her soft
chocolate ice
cream not

noticing she
was a dollop
on a cone of
silence...

He’s a breath of fresh air
Inhale, exhale
None can compare

He’s a breath of fresh air
How did we get here?
Noticing every detail

He’s a breath of fresh air
Inhale, exhale...

The cock 
crows in 
the 
morning,
It doesn't 
care who's 
listening. 
The 
morning 
breaks, 
with the 
sun 
shining,
Not 
regarding 
whether 
or not 
men are 
noticing....

The last piece would make it captivating,
framing it would make it look amazing,
looked everywhere,
dog had guilty stare,
noticing lately he's been constipated.

Playful as a puppy
pouncing, as a child I'd 
pound upon black and white
planks, listening to the
pitch, noticing that my
Pa's voice sounded like the
placement of my left hand.

Stuck inside this tiny old box
I can hardly breathe
Its been years since I tasted freedom
I'm living but haven't lived
Days go by with no one noticing me in my box
I exist not even knowing that this is unorthodox...

He was a beautiful being and
The sign warned: “Do not stand too
 Close; that camel will spit on you”.
I looked him right in the
Eye, noticing how
Gently soft they
Were and he
Didn’t
Spit....

Half naked near a window
Smoking cigarettes
She wafts smoke into the air
Inhaling some hits
She looks out the glass
Noticing me looking in
She smokes more with sass

Hooked onto the jugular notch
is a ray of light under God’s watch,
that soul’s ascent ego may not botch.

Noticing the happenstance reoccur,
with bliss magnetism we concur,
as nodes within, in joy purr....

Slowly I walked by
Noticing colors have changed
They went from colors
Into the shades of slate grey
Making the colored world drab

Not-knowing

As chaos

(As everything

At once)

Inexplicably appearing

As forms..iterations..

(Arising in a brain

If it is a helpful

Side-story)..just

Noticing stuff

In chaos..

A dream of

Not-knowing...

Saying I have a problem
Using the tools of the program
Recognizing the addiction
Reading the literature
Evolving into spiritual life
Noticing change
Developing a spiritual foundation
Ending a life of emptiness
Recovering the real me...

Sky
Deep blue
Blue birds fly
Through endless light
Watching the people
Rushing around their lives
Never noticing beauty
Only seeing unhappy lives
They should look they should see what they miss
See the beauty of the world before them...

A brain collects
diamond expression forms
galaxy hierophant ideas 
juggling kaleidoscope love
muses noticing opportunities 
playing quivering regal
stalwart truths understanding
views worldwide 
'xcelling zest

I saw her on the street one day
Noticing her angelic smile
Then she saw I saw her
So I quit looking for a while

I felt I was not deserving
Of one so beautiful and kind
Gone like the wind, what could have been
Was forever etched into my mind!...

a jarring note intruded
taunting staid silence
contemplation interrupted
lower mind surfaced 
resulting in mental violence

noticing the tremors 
horn of love was sounded
bliss mists pervaded the air
there was no need to react
sounds of silence resounded...

blissful in inner silence
thus appearing withdrawn
the monk is oft misunderstood
since his attention is internalised

yet noticing the world's response
from time to time he surfaces
mindfully gentling his touch
in nonchalant playfulness

Still
Like the
Frozen ice
Along the shore
The tree without wind
On the hill where birds soar
The deer, noticing something
Movement in corner of their eyes
Things unnoticed, as if in disguise
Waiting to move and bring a new surprise
