Best Chimera Poems

Bellerophon was sent for by king Lobates of Lycia
And given the dangerous task of slaying the Chimera
A fierce creature like a lion with a goats head on its back
With a serpent for a tail to ward off any rear attack.

It was causing mayhem in the...

This magical fairy who paints my dreams
Has blushed my fantasy in subtle hints
That kissed dreamy night on the thrills of fall--
An amber delight on the hills hued brown

I have known her long since blossoms of spring
When grass was green in the lilting prairies
And scent of...

Misleading, minacious maze now thwarted,
eschews stealth as sandal-clad steps resound.
Determined and dour, destiny draws near;
completing this quest: forever renowned.

Stygian sky grants a much-welcomed boon:
conformable clouds cast curtain aside.
A radiant pearl suspended aloft,
reveals route to where foul fiend does reside.

Mouthing prayers to a personal angel;
supplication: salient...

orange-caramel color
steeps into the lotus mug
flower and the leaves
cherry like candy
lifts from the golden liquid
left hand round the waist, hold hands
with the handle, lip
pressed to the rim, intimate
serendipitous-savor
the flavor of rose
petals and hips, cinnamon
apple, almond and cherry
sipping oolong slow
over lips and tongue, twining
in chimera happiness
might...

In the realms of novelty and man's intrigue,
A chimera emerged, a contradiction unique.
With the head and breast of a lion's might,
and a serpent's tail that slithers—a fearsome sight.

Oh, how the chimera did pickle the mind,
With its fickle nature, a paradox is unkind.

Relative to sharks
this fish looks extremely weird
it lives in depths too.

There are fish I have never even heard tell of, until I started watching a nature show about the deep ocean....

Midnight Moon

You are the acquiescent angel of my humble heart
A megalithic mosaic gladiolus garden of amalgamate art
Oh midnight moon you illuminate my glittering gaze
Thru clustered clouds and within the Minotaur maze
My gregarious guardian of heaven, of thee I praise.

The chimera of 
yours, the only unextinct 
creature in your bleak

bestiary; that's 
what I really am:
formed from one-half love 

and one-half throe by
you. But I recognized my
borders by learning 

your limits for I
wish to forge my own path out
from your false mythology....

And for my sweet meditation-  I am listening to Vilvaldi,
the four seasons concerto, wild and quite dreamy;
and I am soon lost in a daydream of flowing creeks,
     singing birds, whimsy and fantasy illusion.
     A mosaic, a...

If you could see as I in midnight’s hue,
On moon-lit strolls beneath mosaic lace,
And held my hand once more where angels flew
When time was marked by Heaven’s lilac grace;
And if you viewed the garden robins tilled,
Where blossoms bloomed with life to hear their song,
And grew...

tell me how to stop
missing something
that never really existed

how to get over 
the loss of something
only I could see

show me that he's broken
and my love can't
fix him

teach me how to forget...

One day on the internet,
I searched up usual cats,
Boy the first cat made me fret,
And I exclaimed in my flat,
'That's not the thing that usually sits on mats',
'Thats not the thing that takes naps on laps!',
'And thats not the thing that hunts rats!',
What I saw...

The mirror’s morphed me   SEE

I mimed__ the black- button eyes
sewn on it seems,      as if in a dream
  A dream of the acid kind__

  Belay! That plank _ me pirate peers
A straight-line saunter, your prisoner cannot...

A bejeweled chimera stalks
dreamtime woodlands,
a creature conjured by archetype
 who lives in the onyx waters of the unconscious.

Turquoise and white in feathered splendor,
chimera understands the human condition;
breeds within her own offspring
allowing mortals to overcome challenges,
for it is in her realm that 
we recognize our true...

A serpent with a lion's head
Believes himself a lion
He'll never raise his lowly tread
But kudos, kid, for tryin'....
