Short Single Minded Poems

The eagle soars high 
flying with very strong wings 
and eyes so focused....

Single minded 
Singular focus
years spent
Stressing upon 
One single thing 
It turns out that 
The focus was 
Focused upon 
The wrong perspective...

Particularly
Exasperating
undeniably
Wanting his own way,

Set in his mood
Inflexible
Unwavering
Single-minded

Determined
Obstinate
Bull-headed

Stubborn
Righteous

I am smart and lively running free 
my mane flutters behind my ears
charming single-minded that is me.

My tail swishes swaying in the breeze
I feel my nostrils fill with air 
I must be careful not to sneeze....

Zany zealot
Fervently on fire
Enthusiastically single-minded
Fanatical and furiously frenzied
He tries to convert everyone he meets
He cannot get a job, has had twelve interviews
We cannot help him, he is a selective listener
If it does not fit with his schemata, he does not hear it...

Jelly fish's transparency
Clear as day
Watch out for that sting

Enchanting, fascinating
Persistent, stubborn 
Single-minded

One-purposed life
Self
Self-preservation

Zealous as he pumps
Through ocean waters
Committed to survival

No yours
Not mine
His    ...

Where's the zeal in being a zealot?
Single minded entities always
Forcing, pushing, constantly attack.
Keep your sick. altered, mechanistic
Ideals far away from me.

Thanks but no, I can think for myself,
No need for your help
Feels like the Crusades- believe or die
Look and see  I’ll never be
Your brainwashed puppet...

Silly words, broken sound
Mended colors with a pattern found
Touched my tears for a pretty poem lost on the ground
 
Wished for a day that is never done
But the deep water of the river was on the run
Touched the shadow of the sun; time and tide wait for none
 
I closed my eyes to utter those words of a poem I loved once, long time back
With a thousand words in head to lead me far away from a single-minded track!...

he was ambitious
driven to succeed
stepping on others toes
smashing their fingers
stomping on their feelings

he was determined
single-minded
it was all about him
he had to get ahead
he had been pushed by a zealous mother
who always fixed things for him

he had never been responsible
for his own actions
for his obsessive behaviors
for hurting others
this time was different
his mother could not fix it this time...

Five years is a lot of time, people say
But for us, it still seems very much yesterday
Those ten days
Opened a new path, a new way
The 'ride' has been enjoyable
The company sheer pleasure
Meanwhile time has passed in a whirr
Of course, rough patches have come
But quickly gone
The single minded 'Desire' has clung on
Destination still nowhere near
But there's thrill, emanating from fear
And the journey continues endlessly
Our life's journey- just you and me...
