Alas! Mankind 
Is preoccupied
With living
Not loving. 
Alas!...

this emotion
like a fisherman is pulling the net,
and the blood,
early in the morning still preoccupied with its pub …
bawdy house …...

In style
Stays the while
Pleasently placed preoccupied
With all things world and wealthy
Alas I escape
To a lovers nape
Who stays in style
All the while...

Blessed are the whales
 For people go far to keep them safe
 But who will save the future of mankind
 In a world so preoccupied with what's mine?...

preoccupied
queries of the curious
having obligations
but still inquisitive
sceptical...yes
perceptual...possibly

such disparate thoughts
are quickly silenced...

Whispers woo me,
awakening a dormant tide;
Whispers woo me 
when you’re cooing seductively;
Touching my hips reaching inside,
fevered moaning preoccupied;
Whispers woo me....

Dark foregoings overwhelmingly preoccupied
Denied longings neigh impossible to leave behind 
Profution of emotions uncharted, undefined
Arrangemet of the evil apt to break one mind...

The beast with two backs, 
Rarely attacks, 
As it is preoccupied, 
With whom it interacts.

The man with two heads, 
(One of them red), 
Is a far bigger threat, 
Until one head is dead....

I have sought calmness and peace of mind
And found it somewhat elusive to me,
Seems it delights in being difficult to find
When one is preoccupied with needless worry.

Let’s give him the nickname of Sayles.
In suit, he does chomp at his nails.
Preoccupied schlub
gnaws down to the nub.
A shame as he chews at details.

suiters were drawn to her
she was reflective
what was she contemplating?
She seemed introspective and preoccupied
Women who are pensive are often fascinatingly contradictory
men waited for their turn...

The world lay at his feet
   He never thought to look down

His Creator smiled on him from above
   Preoccupied, he never lifted his eyes ~

He just looked straight ahead
   until he was stone cold dead...

If only preoccupied ourselves with our faults and not with the faults of others

Certain it would be our character sooner to improve than that of our brothers!

Throngs at each corner downtown
A crush of humanity
Waiting for a green light
Light years ago, impatient
Now preoccupied
Focused on that screen in their hands
'Excuse me' has replaced 'Good morning'
Watch your step......

A prophet is no longer recognized, in his or her own time.

So many ring the warning bell; it’s unheard by preoccupied ears.

Prophecies fulfilled are too late to control; doom cannot be reversed!

uncertainty
moods unresolved,
a nothingness
a stasis,even-
fluid thoughts
preoccupied
in a steady stream
of misgivings:
variable motifs
shadow play
in an instant
dissolve,evaporate
into a oblivion
of emotional 
frustration...

but have been a bit preoccupied with the bone density scan

I swear i will send this to the papers...

The First Step 
is Often the Most Difficult
10-5-2016

All things in life begin with a first step;
Often I’ve hesitated due to lack of faith, fear of rejection,
Or being preoccupied with the end result of that step;

Pink, with elegant, sun-loving petals, scented,
plush and lush, like hued nebulae, suspended.
Preoccupied with visitors, south wind and rain,
plum butterflies and more, ever coming again! 
Pretty prestige; minty green, garden's delight,
Pearly pink buds, under nomad clouds of white,
Peaceful in nature, like a silvery moon at night....

We could've been amazing
We could've been close
We painted over each other's scars
We tried to stuff our gaping wounds with tears
We tried to resurrect the hopeless
And we became hopeless
And we would take a bullet for each other
But wouldn't have taken a break
Taken a breath of air
I tried to protect you
But I was preoccupied hating myself...

Thank you everybody for your kind comments and warm support. My apologies for not reading and commenting as much as I used to. As many of you know (I have written an awful lot about it), I am struggling with a brain injury. I am not writing much these days, my muse is preoccupied with clay. 

This place means a lot to me, 
warm hugs everybody!

In Heavens Bind a thought
Seeps through, that
Might preoccupied with
Space and Time does forfeit
The sublime!

In Heavens Way, we are
Confronted with the 
Mundane and through
It’s countenance 
Meet a stranger day!

In Heavens Defeat, we
Muster will and courage
We face a mirror full with
Shards of who we really
Are; the image that we 
Greet!...

A observer of people in this Society I've  notice routinely  have conversations within themselves are etched crazy. Self Talk
Is it because it seems no one cares to listen? Or one is to preoccupied within themselves. Self Talk
Exhausted  maybe? because of one's hidden agendas presumably? Self Talk
Someone once said Self Talk is an expert who have discussions  within their opinionated self. Self Talk...

O
my
forgetful heart-
so preoccupied..
listening just in part.

O
my
unseeing eyes-
focus less on me..
and more on what I see.

O
my
distracted ears-
that hears...
but misses fears.

O
my
deceitful tongue-
that stays so still..
when I might do your will.

O
my
double mind-
that leans..
where I incline.

O
my
indelible pen-
on this page ever write..
with a clear insight....

Mind wandering thinking about past times things we didnt know but now we do
Life moves forward times change, new things to think about 
minds preoccupied with extravagant things!

Sense-less things clutter your mind
Your mind works like a lock box it needs a key to protect the things inside, 
your thoughts are like a temple and 
you need to protect them, your mind is all you have.

Think about it....
