Aimless Poems

Let me blend into your parlor
Your hard oak floor
Brown, tan, muted blue
Tapestry rug, shelves heaving
...

There is one thing that always haunted me
Through my perception I clearly can see
The greatest victory of ours to defeat truth
And Lo! Truth is never, never, ever defeated,
...

Children happy and gay
Flowers laugh and sway,
Come here, don’t go away
Dragon flies, butter flies
...

I
I know not if it was a dream. I viewed
A city where the restless multitude,
Between the eastern and the western deep
...

Not with vain tears, when we're beyond the sun,
We'll beat on the substantial doors, nor tread
Those dusty high-roads of the aimless dead
...

(Suggested by some of the Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research)


Not with vain tears, when we’re beyond the sun,
...

At the midnight in the silence of the sleep-time,
When you set your fancies free,
Will they pass to where--by death, fools think, imprisoned--
Low he lies who once so loved you, whom you loved so,
...

At the midnight in the silence of the sleep-time,
When you set your fancies free,
Will they pass to where--by death, fools think, imprisoned--
Low he lies who once so loved you, whom you loved so,
...

Let me move slowly through the street,
Filled with an ever-shifting train,
Amid the sound of steps that beat
...

Like a lone Arab, old and blind,
Some caravan had left behind,
Who sits beside a ruin'd well,
Where the shy sand-asps bask and swell;
...

Let us go hence: the night is now at hand;
The day is overworn, the birds all flown;
And we have reaped the crops the gods have sown;
Despair and death; deep darkness o'er the land,
...

'THOUGH logic-choppers rule the town,
And every man and maid and boy
Has marked a distant object down,
An aimless joy is a pure joy,'
...

FOR certain minutes at the least
That crafty demon and that loud beast
That plague me day and night
Ran out of my sight;
...

A Fragment

Part I
There was a youth, who, as with toil and travel,
Had grown quite weak and gray before his time;
...

RESPONDEZ! Respondez!
(The war is completed--the price is paid--the title is settled beyond
recall;)
Let every one answer! let those who sleep be waked! let none evade!

When I was a King and a Mason - a Master proven and skilled -
I cleared me ground for a Palace such as a King should build.
I decreed and dug down to my levels. Presently, under the silt,
I came on the wreck of a Palace such as a King had built.

A flower - shrivelled, bare of fragrance,
Forgotten on a page - I see,
And instantly my soul awakens,
...

WINTER is past; the heart of Nature warms
Beneath the wrecks of unresisted storms;
Doubtful at first, suspected more than seen,
...

AH, here it is! the sliding rail
That marks the old remembered spot,--
The gap that struck our school-boy trail,--
...

Silence again. The glorious symphony
Hath need of pause and interval of peace.
Some subtle signal bids all sweet sounds cease,
Save hum of insects' aimless industry.
...

Humanity is
a small island of reason
in an aimless sea.
...

From the inception of thought,
I began—
a hand tracing lines
on the shifting sands of time.
...

In the beginning,
Everything is new
Yet you grow to learn, the strange ways
No thoughts
...

Aimless wings fluttering to join my soul, I resurrected

In the dim dark
We trudged, trudged
Towards goals aimless
And
...

The friend, drowning in the abyss of confusion,
In the dawn, started journey on an unknown expedition,
Aimless exodus, unknown destination;
Suddenly bright Sunlight covers the eyes with a braid,

July is for the flies

They swarm your memory

It is the core nature
mindful state of affairs

It is the one that

I am not asking anything to you dear bird, I am not expecting any word from you. I know dear you are wordless in the vast sky. You are directionless over the sea. You are aimless on this earth.
Your silence made me write all these.
Come not back dear come not back.
You know my past present and also future dear. You are my guide my path finder.

Unrecognizable shapes
that express
what you can not see
And above all
