Short Passé Poems

wood carving passé
springtime mood grows rose from clay
phoenix born of flame

looking before leaping
for innocence is passé 
soul in a state of no mind
celebrates each faux pas

Integrity may be passé
For those who live day-to-day
But Old Father Time
Makes you pay for each crime
Recorded in your DNA!...

Smart women’s fashion today
Matching glasses with their hair
Pink or blue mixing with gray
— Blonde is so passé

Quiet, but for the steady
murmur of waves along
an obsidian beach.
Remnants of an ocean storm,
somewhere between
here and Japan.
Sometime between
Passé Imparfait et
Plus-que-parfait....

So what's your most fervent prayer today
Betcha I can guess, it's about finding your way
It's a crazy hike
Instead take a bike
You'll get there sooner coz walking is passé...

Our fellow brother
has a jaundiced eye.
It’s best to smother
our foolish heart’s sigh.

Noblesse oblige’s passé.
Why’d we trauma bond
with rabid dogs stray?
Just smile and abscond.

Repelled by tradition
  and past status-quo

I enter the jungle
  where hides the unknown

Rejecting excuses
  and all that’s passé

My bow is drawn tightly
  —with fear now my prey

People arrive, bringing
presents which are wrapped in
pretty pink packaging.
Parents have organised
pizza and ice cream then
pamper sessions as treats -
pass the parcel's passé!

when ego is not
then thought too is not
and with lower mind at rest
subterfuge and camouflage are passé 
‘tis when essence of pristine presence emerges
finally ensouling form in active awareness 
whilst ego now serving soul as is ought
opposites having dissolved we rise
breath by breath oozing love...

This morning clouds filled the sky
Fighting back the patience of the sun
Just waiting, perchance with desire 
In hopes that the wind would confuse the mist
And like me, waiting for you
An opportunity might arise 
Offering a chance to shine
And feel your tenderness
Surround me
Making shadows useless
And electric heaters passé...

Blank stares and yawns
They’re so blasé
In their own private world
Nobody listens today
They don’t even pretend
It's all black or white nothing's grey
iPads and cellphones
What could she possibly have to say
She’s just part of the furniture
Old discarded and passé

The witches have now gone on a huge labor strike.
They are more difficult now to double cross, let alone like.
They are wearing socks that have a weird pattern of stripe.
Their underarm odors are notorious foul, irritating and ripe.
They are driving bat mobiles that make their brooms passé’.
I am glad not to be around any of them at the end of day....

Soul Serenity 

Don't be passé to your family and friends.
Don't just say, "I am praying for you."
Tell them how and be very specific!

Have them experience His love and wholeness.
Walking in God's seasonal, auuburn and gold
sunshine's goodness.
So uplifted and so spiritually terrific!

Awareness
Self-aware
Yet love bereft
Barren

Mind-body
Senses five
Indulgence therein
Bondage

Divine attributes
Music, Poetry, Art
Imagined as owned
Delusion

Forgiveness passé 
But a self-healing tool
Transcend now to
Acceptance 

The way we look
At all sentient beings
Must feel within them
Holy Spirit

I love you to the bottom of my heart 
I kinda wish I had made better decisions
But sadness is like an infinite ocean
Like a compass without directions
Je sais pas ce qu'il me faut pour jouer avec l'avenir
L'avenir c'est un passé joyeux qui brûle mon âme 
Et sans toi je vais plonger et oublier
But hope will nurture me along the way
And keep me in track for the future....

Le passé 
Mon enfance 
Eileen deviating from my path 
Some eggs waiting in the sink 
I felt the cold eating my naked feet 
As I killed my last cigarette 
Ma mémoire s’envole 
Vers les horizons 
De mon enfance 
De ma mère 
La silhouette d’Eileen 
Surfaces again 
Takes over 
As I am watching the invasion 
Of the Blue sky 
From the uncovered part 
Of the window....

If thoughts are worth a penny
(Which was once the going rate),
Then those folks who haven’t any
Should just bide their time and wait.

If we factor in inflation,
What we think’s worth so much more
Than the age-old application
Of that passé metaphor.

Still, no matter what they’re paying
To express what’s in our head,
There will still be some displaying
Merely emptiness instead....

Just put it into a crockpot
It will turn into something
A pie or a crescent roll maybe.
Recipes are passé

Just throw stuff in.
Ketchup? Sure. Apple juice? Why not?
What kind of meat is that? Okay.
It could become a stew or a lamb chop or something

Anyone can cook and bake.
Just throw it in there. Set the dials.
Oh, you do not know how?
Well let me find someone who does.
MAAAWWWWWMMMMMM!...

Visions from Beyond
 
the veil is crossed
spirits dance freely

human mortality passé
the soul now blossoms

angels guide us all
no more secrets here

enlightenment pervades
we are one with eternity

time is endless
awareness sublime

mankind remains
in God’s thoughts

His divine message
peace, love, and hope

Tenons au bâton
Changeons cette invision
Sans arrêt
Où regret
Sans soucie
Sans ennuie
Les yeux fermés
Sachant tous va bien aller
On veux le voir 
Faut bien y croire
Coeur miroir
On y trouve notre espoir
Passé avant
Réveillés vous les croyants
Humanity sincerity 
Must hold integrity
Fast asleep 
As many cheat
Awaken from slumber
With courage to hunger
Neighboured by Savior
Positive adventure
Allons-y 
Loin d'être fini...

Sunshine turned to cold sleet
Palm trees froze in place
Tourists walked down white streets.
to shop for hats and boots

Beach boys left the beaches;
 Surfboards were turned to sleds.
Rather than surfing waves
they slid down Diamond Head.

No more graceful hula;
grass skirts became passé.
Dressed in lederhosen,
slap-polka was the rage.

Don Ho found a new song
to thrill his many fans
 ‘Tiny toddies,’ every-
one, makes us all feel warm.

Ordinary Orange


Faded, worn down, frayed,
by the tedium of orange
it hung there, listlessly,
wondering.  ‘How does
brilliance become ordinary,
beauty become commonplace,
monotony replace purpose.”

Perhaps the best is not enough
to merit a “selfie” moment,
the fading orange passé,
drab against the lighted skyline,
a well known stranger passing by.

Where is my muse am feeling dire
It's wonderful how she does inspire
Nowhere to be found am left alone
Hit brick wall with mighty groan.

Need to search all forest trails
Magical atmosphere deeply inhale
Where inspiration can be found
Infertile pen becomes unbound.

Muse is found feel so much better
Realms of paper written with pleasure
Scribbled all night and most of day
Anxiety is gone it's quite passé
