Caught unaware
I wasn't expecting the oleander tree this morning
You seized the chance of my being unaware
The flute, however, didn't falter in its whistling
Shedding all clouds, the sky became bare

In the eyes of society, the poet is dead, and the only one unaware is the poet himself
In the eyes of society, the poet is dead, and the only one unaware is the poet himself,
Because his vanity binds him to verses like an invisible thread, a thread of destiny,
He writes his words on the sky of memories, unaware that they are merely shadows,
Shadows of a changed reality, where poetry no longer sings

unaware
Unaware;
You are the ocean, the earth, the sky,.
And I a ship in the bottle
Never to touch the water;
A bird that cannot fly,
Will never know the touch of sky.
A wind that cannot lay upon the earth,
Caresses only memories of birth.
Unaware;
You are the Space that holds it all.
Each moment of Time, Upon your Breath;
Until

You have haunted the garden of my thoughts, unaware of the endless conversations
You have haunted the garden of my thoughts, unaware of the endless conversations,
About sea butterflies and flights mingled with white, forgetful snows.
I wove you into the celestial tapestries, you were my astral laboratory of dreams,
A solar vagabond returning from a dark night to caress the dawn once more.
In profound silence, I have tried to paint

HAPPILY UNAWARE WE ARE
driving with no care in the world
watching her sleep soundly until we get there
i feel Bountifully Blessed Right Here
i am wondering what i did right to deserve her
those who know me know that i am an acquired taste
i get emotional and Give Thanks to The Father above the blue skies
it is then that i become

So Insanely Selfish and So Unaware You Don'T Yet Expect Other People To Care
I know it's not funny
What it is rather in fact
It's criminally sad
That someone in the first place
Could become or ever be
So full of their own self importance
Or so selfish and totally unaware
Let alone give a damn or care
To think so highly of themselves
That they didn't even realize
What they were or are
A spare of a spare

Just a Friend
Why am I always ‘just a friend’?
This is the question that bothers me most.
I know I am liked, as I’m there when I am needed,
But when all is ok, it’s as if I’m a ghost.
Here I am; your mate, your pal, your chum,
I will listen to your worries and give out sound advice.
A shoulder to

The Rise
It crept in with the peaceful night,
Slipping softly into troubled dreams,
Unaware of our desperate plight.
A friendly smile, the flag held tight,
Neighbors watch as we move about,
It crept in with the peaceful night.
The lines were drawn between left and right,
Hatred rose and claims put forth,
Still unaware of our desperate plight.
Choices dismantled, still we made our fight,
But

Unaware of Time Passing
Unaware of Time passing
Of its impermanence
Learning not, through Joy's hold on each
Slid-by minute's sky-reach
With their bubble play and ball games
Boys and girls the air fill.
Therefore what else could they be
But careless, fretless. Agree?

She Is Unaware
colors galore
came from her magic pen
in paisleys and plaids
kaleidoscope of prints and fashions.
she was unaware
just throwing things onto a page
not seeing the magic others saw
it was the beauty of what kept her poems honest
she flavored many reader's days
And sometimes their weeks,
without ever realizing the glory of her words,
how mystical her pen was or how talented

Worlds Within Worlds
The shag splinters the skin beneath the arch of nothing there
Fibers so tiny drenched in the ink written out in despair
The smell of stains way beneath never escapes the vine

Angel Unaware
I saw an old man sitting by the road
His coat was torn, and his cap was low
It was clear he had no place to go
Life had given him too heavy a load.
I thought to stop and offer to share
To make his life a tiny bit better
Considered the apostle's simple letter
Possibly to entertain angel unaware
The pressure

Unaware
Tom wished he had been more aware
Of the opportunities offered out there
He was quiet and shy
Now realises why
He was too reserved to dare
