Best Chariot Poems

CHARIOT OF FIRE

I stand in silence and behold the sight, 
staring in wonder, waiting for thunder. 
A chariot of fire travels through the night. 

The white-winged horses gallop in full flight 
pulling at the reins; flowing are their manes 
I stand in silence and behold...

They call them crops, but they might as well be weeds.
Mr. Eli Whitney found a great way to get rid of those seeds.
Now the supply outstrips the demands and the needs.
All that makes this stuff cheaper by the bale.
Sellers get less money when they make...

"Sweet Chariot"

Swing low
sweet chariot 
where it hurts
most, we smile
through the pain,
violins always 
swept me away
saving pianos
for buriel daze,
keys, each a note,
to be played

demons come 
and they go
burned at the stake

the collaboration
when it flows 
off page, is what it is

never a clean escape;

LOVE, 
always flies in...

From a swift wind may she return this night,
may the moon delight the path less traveled
and make mighty her heals; 
for this tiny flower wan in her meadow,
where lightning rips the skeletal gloom,
(where she knows not which way to heaven) ---
but the Star which shines...

 Last night, i dared revisit the crossing
of time with my brother, hovering on a
distant sky , tracing notes of my dripping rhymes.

We grew like chariot riders; he, the Troy of
streets and I, the maiden of lofty speeches.
While his hands reveled at the wonder of...

she wore a shiny crown that sparkled from a million miles away
she drove her battle horses and whipped them all like slaves
blue skies all turned black as she came
trumpets blasted tormented tunes...her laughter was insane
eyes of evil hypnotized me as she flew into my presence
she...

My Fairy Queen's Chariot

I watched the starry moonbeams through my curtains 
With its sparkling lights falling on my face silvered
I smiled and cuddled in my cosy-cosy bed
Knowing that My Fairy Queen had swished her nightly magic wand.

The cooing of a peacock woke me out of...

in your chariot, you swiftly came
like a leaf gliding on wind
on your chariot, a golden name
that the ages refuse to rescind

in your chariot, you proudly stand
like the gods of Greece
on your chariot, an imprinted hand
grasping the scales of peace

in your chariot, alone you hold
the reins...

I would like to thank you for your visit.
I have removed these poems for a distant future book publication.
I believe we poets, can make a difference
in this world. We live in the 21st century,
we have tools( technology), we have our past,  and imagination.
We just...

The cooing of a peacock woke me out of my dreams
My heavy eyelids...

with the tilt of the head,
and a heart so heavy...
he sits on the floor of his home,
thinking every moment about his capital levy...

for there are days,
with nothing to pass the time,
the god himself is staying so long,
and the dryness has dried the pond's slime...

the particles...

When I am in isolation
Amidst the woods
I am not alone.
I think of the caves
And canyons and rivers
That Elijah sat in,
Just him and God,
Talking back and forth.
What kind of friendship did they form
In those desolate hours
That made God sweep him
Off the face of the Earth
In a...

Sol's
gilded
chariot 
slowly ascends
over fields of worshiping sunflowers
in a sky of burnt almond and orange
as morning light
directs their 
loving
gaze

And did those wings in ancient time
Soar upward in the sun burnt sky:
And was the father of our dreams
Seen boldly taking us on high!

And did the clever man of arts
Shed light upon our lofty bent?
And was a seed implanted in
That Cretan's dark imprisonment?

Bring me my...
