Short Passionless Poems

Motionless I stand

Silently I wait

Passionless I watch

Master of your fate

Helplessly you run

Hopelessly you fight

I take you by day

And take you by night...

Really from a flute but sounds like a clarinet
strong drag from the top magnifies the fishing net
soul is passionless
task is motionless
nothing is done but works more than a cabinet....

Has the fire indeed left the passion of this brush…..  leaving now only colored strokes smeared upon the canvas… 
where once reigned hopes of calling to memory past days of glory and triumph...

I still feel a phantom caress,
a gnawing silent emptiness,
too strong to deny or even tame,
a nagging unquenchable flame.
It still burns but, it heats much less,
No ashes fall, mocking passionless....

I still feel a phantom caress
a gnawing, silent emptiness,
too strong to deny or even tame,
a nagging, unquenchable flame.
Though it still burns, it heats much less,
a sense still mocking, passionless....

your hands pull me deeper down
i'm drowning now

your arms wrap around me
now i cant get out

your eyes are cold
your kiss is passionless

freezing me
making me numb

bringing out the evil in me
fading black...

Reciting prayers,
Body splayed across the floor,
Reaching for heaven.

Knees gnarled and bent,
Mouth calloused from oration,
Hands clasped tightly shut.

Passionless faith is,
Just ceaseless recitation,
Magic doomed to fade....

I have forgotten you
Said she, trying to be true
Hiding away her wounds
In her wrecked mood

And there he stood
With that look
Being crude
Not caring of her droop

He lives his way
She lives in dismay
Because she loves
And he won't say the word...

O fickle moon!
caretaker of souls 
who chase their dreams 
across the skies you
waver now, and waste away
in quiet desperation;
night surrenders to the light 
as reveries fade.
O passionless pale face!
barely transparent, 
bloodless as a dying rose
in throes of dissolution....

Passionless I see each new day arrive and depart.
I shall not falter upon any deed.
I betray not
Why is this feeling plaguing my mind and spirit?
I was never insensible to my deity.
Or ever will be.
Listless I lay upon the life before me and beyond.
Apathetically I continue with a plea.
I will awake....

haste away now
a quick farewell,
such sweet sorrow:
with much sadness
I pen
this song.
My heart
dwells in 
our secret place,
passionless
'til your return,
'ere long.
Begone,now
your image
will stay,fresh
in my mind's eye.
God's speed
Goodbye..
haste away now
a quick farewell
such sorrow.....

So many words in need of escape.
So many feelings in need of a place. 

Love, hate, lust, passion, need
Starvation, desire, sadness, rejection
Hope, hopeless, loveless, passionless.

You are the day to my night
The sunshine to my moon
The hope to my hopeless
The passion to my passionless
The need to my want.

Do you even know it?...

waves of fireflies light night air
hold you in my arms

I am bored with love
and it's passionless limbs
that drape over my bed
in a lethargic state of impotence
while wearing the same red heart
my soul picked up hitchhiking
off highway serendipity

Now here we are
alone in togetherness
trying to build dreams
with two by fours and glue,
but even a home
won't tie us together
when our hearts live alone...

Wishes and day dreams I place at your feet.
Where the raged and tranquil frequently meet.
Walk softly my soul, I'm burning with fire,
beauty and wisdom fuel and inspire.
Growing slowly, embers glowing, knowing.

Like a candle flame absorbing its wick.
Lost in puffs of smoke that flutter and flick.
Burning bleakly in accepted defeat.
Glowing light flickers in passionless heat.
Slowing transforming, slowly consuming....

Loco lonely liaison
Passionless painful prize
Who we were withering
Erroneous empty eyes

All alone aimlessly 
Sitting silent suffering
Soulless stranger sadly
Ruthless regretful ring

Astute audacious affection 
Brings betrayed blasphemy
Pleading posing practicality
Misleading mental me

Destruction deviated distance
Afar against all advice
Cries crafting compassion 
Disarmed disloyal device

Lost in time 
I wonder about searching for myself,
People point at me,
and scream for me to bend,
I feel my skin stretch 
and crawl,

I am not you ! 
I am not not them!
I am me oh why cant you see!

Let me be free,
let me embrace my dreams...
for without them I am passionless

My tears collect ,
warm and salty,
cant you see?
I am dying
sickness exploding from the inside out

Let me be 
all I want is too see me again......

Monotonous repetition
“I want, I want”
The faces begin to blur
Features eventually disappear
Their voices, now a constant buzz
Outweighing his thoughts
The only other sound he hears is the ever slowing ticks of time,
Inescapable.  
His life has become
A faded numbness,
A passionless spiral of motions
Tick, tick.

What lies beneath his sullen shell? 
Tattered camo memories
or the loss of a love true?
She wonders, sitting in the corner booth....
