"effortless" poems
Crawling, slowly, firmly, effortless towards me. Billowing from sea over hills, the blue sky is envious of its charm. What can it offer but a backdrop of blue? Its ever morphing silhouette captures our gaze and fascinates. Not to be revisited, once witnessed, suddenly changed. Forever, only in memory it plays. Lie back, enjoy it's visions, for it is past, as quickly as it came.

*Having hardships in life is somewhat we all have to face . No matter how positive we foresee our lives , struggle towards serenity is never effortless. We all are embedded in deadlocks of life. Without ENDURANCE & TOLERANCE we will collapse in gyration of dilemma.*

ENDURANCE & TOLERANCE
I saw you from across the gym and the second my eyes laid on you I knew I was never going to be the same. Is it possible to fall in love with a stranger, because I think I just did. Your posture resembled the self-confidence that filled your ***** Your hair a blonde hue that I have never been attracted to before. How could it be, you already have a piece of me. I couldn’t take my eyes off of you, you see. For you were already starting to seep into me. Maybe it was the idea that I can feel love like this, for someone I don’t even know. Or maybe it is that I looked into your blue eyes from across the room and felt like I knew you. My emotions were wired, and my thoughts gambled. I had to remind myself  how to walk and remember that staring in awe isn’t generally socially acceptable. I can’t believe I just fell in love with a stranger. You tossed the basketball with such grace, it sliding off your fingers so effortless. Your shoulders broad and your stamina grounded. The way you slid across the floor so smoothly chasing after the ball that went perfectly into the net. When the smile grew on your face as your friend shot the ball, my soul felt warm as I looked into the happiness of yours. Your teeth, strategically placed by God’s fingers. Resembling how perfect we will all soon be. I can’t believe this is me. Falling in love with a stranger, what else is new. The second I saw you I knew My confidence was back and I began to come to life again. So maybe you were an angel sent from God. Teaching me that I still do have hope. Showing me that my heart is still in enough pieces to love. What ever the case and outcome of this, I feel happy. I feel at peace that maybe, just maybe, someday I will lay eyes on someone and know they will embrace me for the rest of eternity.

I despise social media. It's ugly, to state the obvious Our lives are posted, retweeted, altered, reblogged, perfected, and photoshopped to exactly how we want to be perceived We have the freedom to be exactly what they want us to be. It starts with a few edits doesn't it, pigmented our skin to seem smooth and sun kissed, that would seem most acceptable right? Maybe an extra like for the skinnier waist. More reassurance for brighter colors. Some more filters will hid the emptiness you feel with your friends    Another like Flashier clothing, phones, shoes, cars, other simple words our eyes have latched on to      Another like We urge ourselves to portray the life of leisure and effortless beauty, happiness, success,        Another like But what are we enjoying?          Another like Views of our changing world through a 3 by 8 view.            Another like Events pass by swipe              Another like and swipe                Another like And when we managed to unlock ourselves from this grasp We always come back Like flies to light, more like scratches to a scab Festering we find ourselves getting ****** back in To an imaginary world, that if destroyed, would have no physical effects on their fictional beings For without this world, maybe eyes will open We will step past the boundaries, and start to love our beings unfiltered

Social Media is the Devil of the Functioning Society
Finding a lover is effortless for some people. They only want a few things: Someone attractive, kind, funny or rich. But I desire something so much deeper. I want an intelligent mind that wakes up thoughts in me I didn't realize were hibernating. I want to converse, analyze and debate without being conscious of the sun rising and falling between our words. I want to make a witty remark at a coffee shop so he can reply sarcastically just for me to jab back immediately and for him to comeback back playfully until we're both laughing stomachs shaking spit flying the whole store staring and we leave without coffee I want our hands to stitch together perfectly like two lost puzzle pieces; one found under a couch cushion one found inside a junk drawer. The rest of the puzzle has already been thrown away but these two pieces remain and they fit. I want to fall in love together then together fall in love with art, museums, songs, poems T.V shows, radio jingles, greek food, backroads, our mutual hatred for pop culture, doing the dishes (as long as he washes and I dry) wrong turns, piled up laundry, life. Just fall in love with life. I want to hurt with him I want to save the world with him I want to meet, see, understand and experience all that is foreign with him. I think it will only take us meeting and it'll only be history and happiness from then on. It's just a matter of if a love like that could ever be and if a love like that could ever be for me.

Why I'm Single
The way he looks at her and she looks at him makes love look so effortless. He doesn’t even notice how he is leaning in – towards her. And how her arm is intertwined around his so tightly; with such a devoted glint of comfort and familiarity. I hope you're on the same train. Making the aftermath of falling easy, the complexity simply luminescent. Almost allowing me to feel light. My heart had its fair share of lightness, brightness – heavy now but the smiles, the laughter; It makes me feel as if perhaps that is what I yearn for in The End. But will I ever find happiness if I'm overflowing with joy? Because the Melancholy of a platform sliding out-of-mind, with You standing there debating the tangles in your shoelaces warms up my equally tangled, Masochistic heart. Because that is not granted for me (us). Not the handholding nor the scent of your hair when it’s 5 a.m. and your arms are knotted around my waist and we waste the day, the days, days in my bed. Oh, yes (please). No. I can't get that. I remind myself: "I don't need that." I step onto the platform. I mind the gap. I dare do much But I cannot dare to trip, stumble, and fall. For You. (I already have.)

Calling at York
All consumed by thoughts of you Tied with chains my heart in pain I long for your touch your taste body begs you to penetrate It's like you can't hear or see what you do So effortless yet you have no clue my physical illnesses stem directly from you head bangs of desire from chemicals that set my brain on fire You're the air that feeds the flames squeezed from my lungs I'm locked in a haze Waiting to be saved

Desire
Fulfill the dreams of yearning heart Under the arch lights, bathed in glory Reminiscing the path that you took Forlorn and strewn with hurdles At times an effortless glide ahead Blended with mixed fortunes Inching towards the destination Trial of patience as going gets tough Dreams will be fulfilled, after tribulations Don’t stop dreaming just yet Ignore the furtive glances of cynics Dreams are to be nurtured and fulfilled

Achieving Dreams
my brother-in-law’s really fit I admire him for it He spends much time in exercise, in energetic thrusts He’s a whole aerobics center; gets all the exercise he needs: He constantly jumps to conclusions runs down friends, back-stabs whenever he can side-steps responsibility and you could say, is constantly pushing his luck And pushing it too far too… and goes round and round in circles with many false arguments But one kind thing I can say of him he’s mindful of my health for he must have observed how I hardly exercise and he invites me often to his fitness program “You scratch my back, I scratch yours,” he says… But I’m just too lazy even for such effortless exercise and meanwhile, he continues with his fitness program namely, as I have said before, jumping to conclusions and constantly pushing his luck… while the only thing I can manage in response to his fitness program (darned lazy as I am, as he complains to his sis) is to lift my middle finger but frankly, my brother-in-law’s really fit I admire him for it

fitness program
A real man Remembers that stars are there Even when blocked out By city lights He knows patience Because more often Than not Waiting Is Worth it He does not falter With his love He does not stutter When he mutters Three Simple Words A real man Need not be rich Or giant Or aggressive But knows that family Is prosperity Love is vast And Compassion Is more powerful Than destruction When he laughs He is carrying me away On plush clouds Lightening my day Reminding me, not to feel so heavy You feel his heart Beating at once With yours Even from far away When he smiles It is not forced It is peaceful It is effortless You see the world in his Gleaming Brown Eyes When he cries (Yes, a real man cries) He is shedding away his pain Collecting tears To make a river So that he can swim He never Allows himself to sink When he loves It is almost indescribable He takes care He is devoted He is reliable Understanding Of the universe’s trials The sad truth is So many good men Go unnoticed In this world So many are Taken For granted When a girl Realizes She has a real man She must decide to Step up And become A real woman Strong Loyal Nurturing Loving Honest She gives him her heart And never thinks twice And if she’s lucky enough To be given his She treats it Like a precious stone And never lets it Out of sight.

A Real Man
Starting with coverage from BBC2. Brushing calm shadows into pastel hills. A rhythm paints terrain a sugary brown. Flicks of green create fauliage serene. The clean tasteless air is cotton soft. A effortless stream runs cobalt clear. Where salmon gymnastics begin each year. Squirrels practice dance routines a glamorous red. The doormice dressed and ready for bed. Continuing coverage on Ch4. The perch, the tench sat together on an underwater bench. Discussing bait and hooks whilst flicking through some fishing books. What's he eating? Mr Mole, it looks like cheese and ham on a soft brown roll. There's a chicken and a fox that live round here. Seriously, they've been dating each other for about a year. Now, if you take the next left, then over the stye. There's a duck lives there, call in and say, hi! Poetry by Kaydee.

sad boy; what a pathetic ploy this is for my attention. all you contrive tastelessly always lacks concession. every word, and image you fake I reject, from my possession, for all you are 's worth less than this effortless expression. you see, my natural creativity surmounts your **** impression of the beauty of my work and my powerful transgression.

Reminder to a Gypsy
Ripples riddle the mirror, Below, faint shapes shift Elegant forms float here and there, Little legs thunder, leaving a gentle wake in lieu of turmoil. The air is thick, the sun falling, Already lost behind billowing storm clouds Etched chaotically on the horizon. Invisible but for the ubiquitous light. It is the dragonflies time, A darting zip and an effortless flutter. From surfacing **** to towering Reed, Searching for something we can only pretend to know. Determined housewives, faces set, Arms pumping and hips swaying Their Anatidean waddle so fitting Their quacks, a wall of stereo. A lone rusted sign warns of gators, but of signs, there is that one alone. No rogue bubbles or beady eyes, no ticking of swallowed clocks, no suspicious splashes. nothing. My battery is now as low as the sun, and my pen is as empty. A not so subtle poke in the ribs from a universe in protest of the bad poetry being inked. c'est la vie or as we say in English **** it

A bench in the park
The cherry blossoms, pink and luscious, in full bloom. Below the koi fish swim round, round in circles. The sun reflects off silk kimonos with a shine radiant, dazzling, With red lips against painted white skin, blindingly beautiful. A walk like unraveling ribbon, And hair like ink, bound tightly a few strands bound for escape. Untouched skin tainted by stares, clipped wings useless for an escape, Freedom comes in the hope of riding a cherry blossom, swelling in bloom. The leaves swirl to the ground, spiraling in nature’s ribbon. The glares of tigers ********** her, kimono falling to her feet in circles, Eyes of blue, green, never turning away, trapping those beautiful, The nature of a hidden world, shaming and stunning, confining yet so dazzling. The snap of the gold-trimmed fan weaving in and out, dazzling The crowd with effortless twists and turns; clenched tightly, no room for escape. A dance of untamed water in a disturbingly beautiful Unity of desire and fright. A young bud not on the verge of bloom Thrown into a crowd of tigers to be spun in uncontrollable circles And entrapped by the unflinching gazes in silk ribbon. The game is simple: mesmerize a pack with grace of ribbon, Attend engagements that ask for a dance, tea pouring, but never dazzling That pure smile too brightly. Fool the ***** tigers to follow in circles, But never trust a tiger that promises a chance of escape. Never fall for love’s first bloom, Never become the next to lose the light. Stay pure and stay beautiful. A kimono is only as pure and as beautiful As the woman underneath. By cutting the ribbon Of virginity by a friendly lamb, instead of tiger’s bidding for the bloom, Only leads to the fall of a shooting star, gracing the sky with its dazzling Beauty, and the hope and wish of an everlasting escape Is crushed by the weight of a soapy rag, washing away the hope in circles. Though the pain of the cage binds the mind in endless circles, Though tigers ignored the aching backs and blistered feet, staring at only the beautiful, It is better, safer to stay in the hidden world, banishing all thoughts of an escape. Keep the tigers in a tight ribbon, Stay young, fresh, never letting the mind wander away from dazzling, And never fall like a cherry blossom after its first bloom. A walk like unraveling ribbon, The sun reflects off the silk kimono with a shine that never ceases from dazzling, And forever watching the cherry blossoms, pink and luscious, fall in full bloom.

I want perfection I want that moment where our eyes meet and neither of us can break the gaze where our souls open to one another like buds thirsting for the rain where I see eternity, endless infinity expand and share their secrets from within you and know in that instant that you see the same in me I want that perfection of recognition I want perfection I want a shared empathy an effortless telepathic connection to feel that golden thread that links all my chakras with all yours I want to wake thinking of you to drift into sleep doing the same to know this is true for you too and to meet even in our dreams I want that perfection of synchronicity I want perfection I want to explore your body to marvel at its complete perfection even though you believe it imperfect I want you to marvel too at the perfection you see in this body although I know it to be far short I want to be consumed in mutual lust to burn with your tastes sounds and smells subsuming our senses into one another I want that perfection of sensation I want perfection I want to run and work and sweat with you to experience the joys of music, of performance to travel with you to places of wonder to inspire your creativity to be inspired by you in every way to reach new heights as yet undreamed to remain forever grateful for the gifts of your love I want that perfection of complementarity Cynthia Pauline Jones 4th May 2015

Seeking Perfection
I feel so out-of-touch and small talk seems out of reach. Are my thoughts worth airing? Maybe its better to not speak. See, lately I've been thinking. More so than usual. And its come to my attention that my attention is unusual. I can't believe it took me this long to realize just how egocentric I can be. A fourth of my life is gone and its always been about me. I know and acknowledge that you're a person too but something has changed and I feel like I can't talk to you. Where once it was effortless, now conversing is difficult. Instead of truly listening I'm preparing my rebuttals. It isn't that I don't care. It isn't that I'm disinterested. But it feels like my volume knobs got ****** up and I can barely listen. Why is my head louder than reality? It's exhausting to focus on anyone but me. Truly a self-serving, self-centered friend I am. Sorry.

I may hate you more tomorrow , but i'll never love you less for you're the one person i can always count on , you're simply the best and everyone who knows us predicted we won't last a sec it's like we're the opposite end of a spectrum, yet a single entity violating the norms of this hypocritical society simple,yet so **intriguing ** And girl , we go on so well together like bread and butter like milkshake and cookies YOU'RE THE MELODY..TO MY LYRICS and God only knows, the inspiration behind how many songs! the ones i've lost and also the ones i carry in my heart And without Nancy(my bestie) , where would Aditi(me) be? without you ...well that just can't be you're always sure of somethings, like the sun will always rise, that's the way you make me feel you're probably the only thing ..that drags me to the boring premises of dav{my school} (also the fact that 75%attendance is required but you get the idea) and looking at you , and looking at me .. and looking at the **** and crazy stuffs we do and we did i wonder how effortless it is how the kind of girl i'm ..everything looks scary to me but you just make it better somehow ,without even doing a thing and sometimes, i get this blurry pic of you and I we're close to being 75 silver hair , wrinkled cheeks sitting on a park bench,eating(that's her aka my bestie's favorite thing..eating) talking about the same old senseless thing and looking at each other with contempt and say "hey ,we made it to the end♥ "

*me and my bestie *
The perfectionist loves to hear his voice, He is the respected critic inside, He is the learned one, The educated and the educator. A beautiful constructor, The finishing touch To the artist's hand. The voice is always a partner, He will always be there to help The artist, comfort is taken in his ability. The artist needn't forget, There are many voices on the side, Awaiting for their time to speak, Each one has its time, All varying in their patience and duration. The artist sees what he hasn't before: The voice of support; the voice of love; the voice of decision; and the voice of passion. There is always time to contemplate his flaws And he wants to reassure himself: Perfection is not a demand, but a quest, One of beauty and one of joy. Perfection is the beauty in imperfection. The pursuit of achievement is one to relish, it is not to be rushed or Ceased, it is a running walk, a walking run, a sitting stand, a moving still. It is every step he has made. The artist looks behind and sees His effort, he is proud to have experienced His triumphs and his trauma The voice of comfort will be there all the way, She is a gentle quieter spirit that deserves as much an ear. When all voices have calmed and subsided, Her tenderness remains. I remind the artist of his friends, I remind him that the critical voice is the voice of nature, The physical laws unchanged. He is the driving force to stasis and movement in the age worry and indecision. "Do not be overwhelmed" I say to the artist, You are one of many. You are with friends. The voice of change encourages the artist to evolve and to smile, The voice of happiness allows peaceful living and awareness. The tiger belongs to nature, not to be feared, but to be respected and understood. Do not despair, do not relinquish hope, Hope is the shining beacon in a world of anguish. Hope is the angel shining her torch ever so bright. Hope is the window that allows pain and suffering to see the light of day , Hope allows oneness. The artist moves his brush: an effortless stroke, A flicker of joy, A tear in his eye. He once was old, Now is young. He learns to enjoy The work he has done, He can now enjoy the work he does, He is enjoying the work he is doing. He enjoys his life. The state of mind, it is a fickle hatchling. Able to be pursued and persuaded, also able to be liberated. The artist is free, His thoughts can pass, His fear will subside, His body can move, His heart will follow And the mind will allow. Spirit be set free, Bird do fly, Artist do paint, You, You are. Peace within oneself is peace with others. The artist is brave, he is a soul that stands tall in the face of adversity, He is a sleepless enigma in his room at night, He is the passionate one, The artist and his love affair with the critic outshines his charisma, The love for the sophisticated darkness, His love for the melodrama, His quest for knowledge, Perhaps the only knowledge is Ignorance. Blissful unawareness.

I am literate in daydreams and letting my imagination rule my head I am literate in music where rationale can be abandoned. I am literate in procrastination, pushing away my mind-defying. I am literate in heartbreak which has been already over-endured. I am literate in lazy weekends spent with my sister and a remote. I am literate in creating; not masterpieces, but heart and soul pieces. I am literate in ramen noodle and green tea afternoons in sweatpants and sneakers with no makeup on. I am literate in moment-capturing and finding the right words to explain. I am literate in thunderstorms and dancing in between water droplets. I am literate in heart confessions over acoustic guitars and games of solitaire. I am literate in wanting and taking away from what I already have. I am literate in wanderlust and a wholehearted need to escape. I am literate in color-coordination and clothing arranging and bringing out all my best. I am literate in kissing with desperation and wanting to have it be effortless. I am literate in wasting my time in my head, in my heart, and in the clouds. I am literate in everything mentioned and so much that I can’t even say.

Beneath the bracing maple tree Awaits a beau, pursued heart's key Cold sweaty hands, timid was he As if he's dosed with ecstasy To woo this beautiful princess, Hath played a fiddle effortless Heart beats loud beneath pastel dress Mind's been puzzled, soon she'll confess She don't regret, she won't forget For that so moment felt kismet Will they be lovers? Make a guess, It all depends if she said yes

The Suitor
Inspired  by  Disney's  magical  kingdom, And  enchanting  fantasy  tales,  You've  reached  the  learning  age  of  five, Leaving  precious  memories,  deep  in  my  heart, Like  dainty  little  footprints, upon  a  trail. Since  the  first  day  you  entered  my  classroom, Shying  away,  in  a  world  of  your  own, And  nearly  in  tears, Waiting  to  be  picked  up, And  taken  back  home. But  you  gradually  surpassed  this  fear, Allowing  me  into  your  life, As  I  reached  out  with  dedication, And  unconditional  love, Opening  the  door  to  your  futureand  watched  you strive. By  quickly  learning  your  ABC's,  123's,  colors, Sounds,  and   mastered  the  writing  of  your  name  quite  early, Including  other  tasks,  and  now  it  may  sound  effortless, But  it's  a  gift  you've  certainly  gained, And  today,  I'd  like  to  wish  you  a  safe  and  successful  journey.

Dainty Little Footprints Upon A Trail
our love was an hourglass. time was always ticking and always is but with you time seemed to slow down you made me forget about our "time limit" and you made me believe the sand would fall for eternity however the hourglass was still there counting down until you had to move, until my heart had to shatter into a million pieces. I knew that day was coming eventually, I was just in denial because no one taught me that there's no such thing as a "happy ending" our time became shorter and I began to worry. I knew our time together was coming to a close when the sand in the hourglass faded, so did you. and on that day when the sand stopped I knew I hadn't cherished you enough for it was your leaving day, the day you packed your bags, hopped in the moving van and never looked back. and even though the hourglass stopped running, it never ran out. because you can never get rid of the sand in an hourglass. and even though you left, I could never truly get rid of you. you were the sand, trapped, without an escape, forced to keep tumbling through my mind. now the "sand" in the hourglass represents my heart, shattered and torn. the pieces shift as memories of us collide. and I have no control of when the hourglass gets flipped over again. nor can I control when flashbacks of us come flooding in like a hurricane. I just do my best to build a dam, and hold everything back. eventually, our hourglass came to a stop. and I ran out of energy to keep up with you. you were the effortless sand, falling wherever gravity took you. but once you left I became lonely I was the empty side of the hourglass I could still see you, and I still loved you but there was nothing I could do about it. you just let the pieces fall where they may, while I tried to put my own pieces back together but I looked like an idiot because something was missing from all those pieces. and that something was you.

You make me smile so easily almost as easy as the breeze on a fall day, Effortless, Knowing it's the least you can expect. You let me write doodles on you, Words that usually hurt, Words about my former heartbreak, But with you it doesn't hurt. You call me your friend, And I try and explain I can't be your friend I'll like you, Oops, Too late for that. Every time you laugh I see your dimples, Indented so deep into your face, I love them, They draw the perfect amount of attention to your face, Those gorgeous dimples help me see your lush lips, Perhaps they'd like to meet mine one day. Your one of the few people that aren't afraid to be seen with me, To be seen talking and laughing with me, Apparently to some I'm shameful, But you just continue on making jokes, Making me laugh. Each moment I spend with you I like you a little more, Liking you has grown easy, Your the kind of person that can make me happy, I think your the only one that can make this loneliness fade, So you should do me a favor and just stay, Stay and keep the loneliness away.

Liking you is going to end up toxic.
Lady night offers her generosity as the stars twinkle in syncopation for me. Shadow-clad silhouettes... Their gaits mysterious. The night lights trail into the depths of my eyes. Burning away the seconds, so effortless. The quietness... Willing forth dishevelled reflections... Of unkempt emotions. Allowing a barrage... Of thoughts and notions that span over night and day. So that they could... Be conveyed through paper and screen. So that I could... Share with you what I intimately mean. The unforgiving onslaught of ideas and feelings I bravely conjured... But too afraid to say.
