Best Brilliance Poems
Brilliance and MadnessBrilliance and Madness
Howard Robard Hughes
Famously rich recluse
Dreams led him to the lap of luxury
Followed by nightmarish mysophobic OCD
Rich playboy aviator Howard Hughes
With movie starlets kept himself amused
Dated Katherine Hepburn
Bette Davis took her turn
And still more, which kept the tabloids confused
Born Howard Robard Hughes to a...

Universal BrillianceThe brilliance of the universe has already unfolded. Our lives are wrinkles in that universal crease. And everything we have witnessed is merely one fold in that unfolding. If God's map is infinite, we should be peering beyond heaven. We should at least be in...

Brilliance of Rosetta StoneMeaningless squiggles and wiggles
Noted for decades
Without collaborated meaning
Rosetta Stone discovered at last
The missing correlation
Brilliance of a Wise mind
Ancient abstract squiggles
Consolidated wiggles
Revealed under desert sand
Proof of ones or ones
Who cared and dared shared
Translation key to the world...

The Brilliance of the Ending DayLet's sit under the tall, satured elm after the long-gone storm;
its branches, unwavering and steaming, are awfully warm.
They stretch their drooping arms to brush off the remaining hues,
those of a placid sunset turned apple-red.
Hear me warbling along with the shivering mockingbird,
too lonely and in somber...

Yellow and Illuminating BrillianceOut on porch to glimpse a sunrise
Orange sun cast gray 'on clouds
Whispy light airy sparse white clouds
On horizon not like shroud
Then as the sun inched up orange
Disappeared replaced by
Illuminating brilliance clear
Against blue blue sky
Dramatic change for human eyes
I longed to stay awhile
How...

Obsolete BrillianceSo concerned with the skill
But anyone's skilled with language
Everyone knows the power of will
Though words rarely show knowledge
So i say screw the pettiness of being clever
I say screw those who value wit over truth
Why do we appreciate those under cover
Yet we let them hide because...

Unexplained BrillianceA sudden
sonoluminescence
manifested
in a river of eyes,
a sigh drawing
vision
The spray of their rays
issued into a void
barren of illumination,
its essence devoured
with the absence
of brilliance
Broken skies
illuminated with scars,
fragmented earth
felt the first radiance,
one...

With Wisdom's BrillianceIllumined with wisdom’s* brilliance
my mind shuts vague shadows
lurking in vain conceit...
revived, my heart graciously strives
to open love-windows
serving God by His light.

Sparkling BrillianceSparkling brilliance
Little princess was in tears out of tremendous stress,
Her school mates in innocence made her a fool,
The King failed to take note of her zing,
A retreat to cope up with her blooming elite,
Her intelligence that radiated beams of a perfect brilliance,
When blessed from above...

Stephen HawkingStephen Hawking was bogged down in space.
Just one eye moved around in his face.
But in spacetime he leapt
like a quantum and kept
all of us far behind his great pace....

An Awkward ChildA mother's hand trembles
as she brushes a tear from her eyes;
while watching her awkward child
standing all alone, forgotten.
As others, in their budding self-awareness,
catch glimpses as they run by, playing
at their...
