Short Unmindful(P) Poems

A tribe of black swan
Does an ethnic dance in cool
Water, unmindful…...

amidst the green field
behind grandpa’s old brick house
lies a broken fridge,
unmindful of time passing
until my mom calls me home....

meddling mind
unmindful
minds not thought

hearts the way
how we sway
everyday

as hearts strike
bliss beats spike
as they like

In a lake of green, I see a black swan floating
While I, comfortably, am on a bench sitting; 
As the unmindful black swan glides slowly by,
Small ripple of waves appears, rolling. I sigh....

time and distance unwind
unmindful of a ticking clock
as
commitment tumbles through constant years
with ne’er a thought
that 
there exists another dimension
where all possibilities exist...

Pierce lightly this pulsing wrist,
chaser of needing night replenish

allow me . . .
a farewell to eternal rest
in peace

allow me . . .
a last kiss to he
who is unmindful of this heart.

Now take me....

the bell rang in a sharp chime,
piercing the viscid night slime,
and alerted many nearby,
who were busy in crimes,
they bolted and ran,
and vowed to keep the bell in mind,
the next time they did the crime....

I cannot thank in past tense-
     knowing care has not ceased
     that this moment is not leased
But granted freely to me.

A fleeting moment already gone
     must be in my thanksgiving
     consumed, unmindful, in living....

RAIN
cold, wet,
r e f r e s h i n g.

Children play naked,
unmindful  of   the  mud--
splashing, laughing, running, gay.

“Rain brings mem’ries of innocence.”

Brilliant words made of love, 
decay in a blur of rage 
and in-perfection.

A family is broken 
as the trigger is pulled 
and the unmindful bullets fly.

Compassion and lies have met.
Righteousness and discord have kissed.

As she fades in deaths handcuffs 
love slips away....

Ultimate freedom comes,
Unlocking silver chains,
Untrodden ways traversed
Unfolding new beacon;
Unmindful of the odds~
Unyielding come what may!
Undefeated and strong.

I am a bubble.
People see through me.
And yet, there are still few who see wonders
in my almost invisible rainbow-like colours.
With their slightest attentions and most timid smiles,
I am appreciated.

I am a bubble.
With the air I move and dance,
Carefree and unmindful while I soar.
As I reach the sky, I fade.
Only to join the wind once more....

Each passing cloud shows me
Your face, in great detail;
It fills me with so much glee
Which helps my day to sail.

Each passing cloud reminds me
Of the beautiful days,
When we used to have tea
Unmindful of life's ways.

Each passing cloud tells me
Those days will soon return
That, with me, you'll always be
In each of my life's turn....

Lost in your own thoughts
While you stand still on the edge
Unmindful of what surrounds
In silence you wait
The sky almost overcast
None seems to be forthcoming

Watching from afar
Distance standing between us
Your image instilled on me
With a heavy heart
In the wind I will impart
My message of last goodbye

In the darkest of times 
be the light of a candle 
but the harshest of crimes 
to let melt your candle 

***
Give, unmindful of a reason 
feel the heavy burden light
remember to mind your reason 
fill your very soul with Light 

***
Like a delicate dove
bathe into sweet waters well 
feed on the seeds of Love 
reach not the bottom of its well....

“Wettened by the mornings dew
Closely spaced where rows of roses grew
Footprints stained the cobblestone
Where my love and I had walked, alone”

I become nostalgic, whenever I think of it
Unmindful of surroundings, not even a bit
Like butterflies, in full romantic mood          
There, with each other, we were glued

the crawling
trash-eating growlers
empty the jettison
of 7 days

strong limbs and gloved hands
heave and haul
tip-over the unwanted tangle
of unmindful chaos

the machine chews loudly

time to go
drag the empty black bins
back into their secluded caves

time to make eggs and bacon
to drop once more
rinds and shells
into plastic landfills

If one loves rose, leave it on its stem
Still if can’t resist its beauty
Let its thorns be respected.
View it as optimist
Thinking of its thorns.
Pessimist views
Unmindful
To its
Thorns.

While walking in  the market  one day
I started talking to a friend we had lots to say
Unmindful of whatever came before  me
Kept walking somewhat straight  with glee

Suddenly  my  forehead banged into a pillar
My hard lense fell off and the pain was a killer
Hooding one eye I looked for the lens but failed
A passer-by made a call to my son ,the problem  was nailed...

R-efrain from closing your eyes, 
A-lways be alert and aware; 
I-t's the devil that roams, 
S-howing his roar and anger. 
S-o don't leave the door open,man the wall and gate; 
A-im to be vigilant, equip with love, hope, and faith. 

B-e watchful seventeenth of January, 
I-nstead of sleeping neath the heaven; 
N-ever be oblivious or unmindful, 
D-on't leave the door 
O-pen....

He sits wounded on broken crystals
where his beloved's image reflects;
His placid visage is like frozen lake
on bleak winter morn.

As his wounds gently bleed
he whispers her name~
And the echo soars
on distant northern lights.

As she hears his fading voice
she runs to him~
Unmindful of the arrows 
until she finally finds him 
before  he murmurs, 
"Till then, my love".

Rough Edges

We will make you a diamond
of great price
smooth the roughness
of nature’s edges
cut away hard grit
of centuries
expose your
“weakness””
erase the facets
of your being
cut deeply
hard angles,
reflections need
basking
in false façade.

Would that you
had remained
a diamond in the rough
uncut
just another
beautiful stone
unmindful
of your presence.

I ask for refuge to Allah from Satan the exiled evildoer.
In the name of Allah the Kind and the Merciful Giver.

Have you noticed the person who disbelieves the Judgment?
It is him who gives the orphans harsh treatment  
And does not urge the people to feed the needy
Then the praying ones will be extremely sorry
Who are unmindful of their praying duty,
Who do good things to impress people
And forbid others to give anything at all....

Is there no way
No path
No distant beacon
Naught but the roar
Of roiling breakers
Scattering the stony beach
With driftwood scarecrows

Is there no truth
No quietude of soul
No vibratory vindication
Save the shrieking tremor
Of faltering hearts
Weeping
For unknown lovers

Is there no light
Untouched by darkness
Un-blinded by the shadows
Fearless in its ferocity
Gentle in its gaze
Unmindful
Of its magnificence

Revisiting My Mother Goddess

The lake
That looks like a piano
On it sat 
Thousand cranes and two
Seemed like a moonlight sonata by the moonlight.

But why is my mind yearning forever
For the  unmindful musings?
I had been there once, nearly
Forty years ago.

They send me return tickets from Jhargram,
For the festive October,
Celebrating the home coming of our mother goddess
But they never take me to that childhood playmates....
