Short Trifling Poems

Thwarting sanguine wars
The mountain did spawn a mouse-
Trifling frustration....

human in decree
moves, tricks and reigns reversely

Trivial Pursuit

Chasing
Piddling
Hunting
Trifling
I lost myself chasing piddling facts
No piece of pie; hunting, trifling traps

Falling ever so gently
My tears mix with the rain.
It foreshadows
the coming pain,
the past pain,
the present pain.
But I know
these unexpected storms
only water the conquerer within.
So these trifling setbacks,
shouldn't make me cry at all.
But they do....

common,
     so trifling
      slight
     untinged
in awe
of the array
before
      me:
without 
      effort,
a process
    to gratify
to tend
and preserve,
an
     interval
akin
to
emtions...
     swiftly,
before it
withers...
reach
for a pen...

parched earth whining for
single droplet of water -
crimson sun blazing.

flush of anger drive
the trifling clouds to hideout -
lone sun ruling sky.

My softened heart beats life
As my heart still beating;
Instilled yet I do love Him;
In spite of my trifling self;
It’s my Father’s breath, that’s keeping this vessel rise;
Embrace me O’ Lord as my mind comprehend my heart cries;

She consumes purposely and continuously she stones at me seeking to devour my self esteem because of circumstances beyond my control, I chose to turn the other cheek to flee from her trifling and consuming agendas.

I AM LOST          
          
     Once void, all around emptiness where in vacuum Big Bang exploded.
     Vibrant Cosmos created in nanosecond, space and time started journey.
      Trivial ordinary star Sun, tiny Earth, trifling human race: Where am I?

THE HUG FELT SO WELCOMING.HOW LONG CAN YOU STAY?
SPREADING YOURSELF THIN IS THE BIGGEST GIVE AWAY.

ALIBIES.TRIFLING IS WHAT I CALL IT. ONLY A COWARD

O, ecstasy of exhilaration
   Heaven's heights nearly scaled
Knocking on the door of Consecration
   To remove the Eternal Veil...

Holy Day's ended,world's again clouded
   Plunged back into corporeality stifling
Celestial Palace in mist beshrouded 
   ~ Grasp at Earthly straws so trifling

The way of the heart is beating 
The ways of the mind are cheating 
Trifling conspiracy lust and jealousies 
Spirit is moving the soul is crying 
Pivoted denying the righteous ways 
The heart wants what the heart wants 
The mind thinks not what just is right
Trouble is the soul as the spirit reaps in thoughts
Beatings so the heart is at awe

Grasping for breath
Forgetting implicitly
Embracing the counterfeit
Falling into disbelief.

Trifling through a bed of roses
I find myself lost in Moses
Insecure in my abilities
Questioning my nobility.

With heaven & hell before my eyes
Swatting at flies & twisted alibis
Finding Jesus through all the lies.

Behind every smile lies Belial
Forcing humanity to run an extra mile
Into the bile of Satan's smile....

Pain is an afterthought anymore,
The pureness of it so fulfilling,

Not for me but for those I adore,
The wait until the kill thrilling,

Blood oozes from my knife galore,
The nature of the act so chilling,

Crimson red swarms the dark floor,
The end near now dawn is nearing,

Each act causes my rage to soar,
The police are close how trifling, 

Throwing caution out the door,
The next victim my true calling,...

There once was
A man
named Randy
Night after night
I gave him candy.......

I fell for his
republican
demeanour
It actually made me
Keener

I loved his buttoned
Up shirts
and this is what
drove me
to flirt....

His trifling stare
All his grey hair
Added even more
flare

I begged him to love
me
I begged him
to hug
me....

To which he grinned
and said much
To my chagrin
I need no wife
I have a life!...

M-ake a mountain out of a molehill
I-n May thirtieth warm day; 
C-ome and treat a trifling matter, 
H-aving a great value in any way.
E-vade belittling the ants, 
L-earn a lesson from them instead; 
L-ook! they can carry bigger things in unity, 
E-ven if they have no king or head.

C-onvert garbage into gold, 
A-void disparaging anyone at will; 
C-reate an asset out of a liability, 
H-ave to make a mountain
O-ut of a molehill....

A microscopic arachnid
tinier than a poppy seed
spins diminutive filaments
barely visible to the eye;
a spiral silk lacework deathtrap
for infinitesimal prey
strung high between white cornered walls
in a microcosmical world.
Is its existence more trifling
than mine that occupies more space?
Perhaps not, in the scheme of things:
my universe among the stars
is imperceptibly smaller
than this occupants’ in my room....

Sour grapes have been washed
And set out to tease.
Sitting in the middle of the room
On a pedestal of glass.
Sour grapes look down 
With an almost disdainful stare
At the Lords and Ladies hurrying by
Wondering if any would care.
The scurrying,the trifling 
The signs of human persons.
Gave it courage to ask.
Care for some?"
Let sour grapes sit.
Adorned in the finest China.
For in tasting only can you tell.
The story sour grapes bear....

Fecund sewer ingeniously knitted 
An ornately crocheted potholder was made
 
Bragged her complete oeuvre at first 
But its worthless in everybody’s sight 

It may be futile or trifling
What can it flaunt is nothing

The Cuisiner's hands are sheathed
From  scorching cauldron was protected

No acclaim, no reward travail
From first light to nightfall with ill 

Hard work makes it smeared and  filthy
At old age, it will be banished away...

It has to be deeply personal, you said
As if the sun is not so
Nor the moon
As if the verdant lane
Fenced in by memories of you and me
And the lonely jackal on distant moor
Are enough to create human mystery

When through shimmering haze the moon is full
The web is shut, the famous mistletoe 
has dripped its cool,
A weak and trifling heart will peep out silently
To whimper at the startling beauty
Singed and dyed in many splendored wool...

Summer began in a small country home;
forest's shadow and fields a dog can roam.

A kiss of radiant warmth lay this day,
off wild running and chasing in gay play.

Like other children we trifling quibble,
over childish senseless art we scribble.

QUIBBLE over who's going to be first,
QUIBBLE who's acting like the very worst.

Though harmless quibble with one another
before twilight falls, still love each other....

Learn to say ‘Sorry’ to who is broke:
Don’t him near to make of it a joke,
Even if you were to him Nice Bloke
Or playfully would his rib-cage poke;
He’s now saddled with burdensome yoke 
And easily could in whisky soak.

Remember it’s ‘Sorry’ to The Broke
Rib-cracking it might be leave your joke
The once-tuneful voices, a croak
So Trifling Words - For God’s Sake! - don’t fit
Some in helpless chairs cheerfully sit
But soonest mortally themselves hit!...

To see what matters most in Life
I weighed the things inside my heart
What many treasures may impart
Importance there,  to shed some light.
I took out most trivialities
Got rid of mundane, trifling matters
Found there the root of iniquities
Was the "I, the me, and mine" affairs.
By choice, purged out the hindrances
To everything that makes me whole,
Set free from all encumbrances
At last found Peace there for my soul.

You twist and wind uphill, 
Defeating common logic 
That informs ordinary will, 
Quashing layman's magic. 

Your miles can't mundane 
Tools measure with ease, 
Nor trifling men's suremises
Feign to fathom with peace. 

Anfractuous is your course 
Along travail's painful main, 
Past warmths of kith or kin, 
Beyond love's kiss and pain.

Up this odd adventurous tor
Shall my days curl their way, 
Charting eerie paths via war, 
Whereon saints tearful tread....
