Best Desolateness Poems

" Amid the jagged shadows of mossy leafless boughs"
  - Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Gold tinged paints dripped from the air,
under the clear opalescent autumn sky,
jade foliage turned to full-bloom flower,
I flew my heart like a bird over the canopy.

The canopy of your allure so beguiling

Golden paint drips from diaphanous air,
beneath the opalescent autumn blue sky,
jade foliage enfolds full-bloomed flowers,
I fly my heart like a bird over the canopy.

The canopy of your allure so beguiling
takes me to the enticing height of ecstasy.
The nest we build in the cleft of boughs
glistens...

On a frosty opaque day in windy winter 
I, an old defoliated tree denied the sky and the soil 
by the young aggressive ones spreading branches,
walk out of the green forest in sheer desperation. 

Crossing the contorted contours of the barren badlands, 
I go across...

It’s not our choice where we would be,
but now that we are here
as an actor performing at the wish of God, 
let’s give life the chance to be fulfilled,
and in its fold, make us a good human being.

We chase the mirage of endless desires
in the...

This unhappy man in the midst of flowing opulence lived
like a discolored precious stone in a box of rare jewels,
and was always sad like a dry wood in a lush green forest.
He got up one morning more dejected than the morning before,
threw the flower embossed...

The effervescence of the party doesn’t seem to abate, 
even when the guests leave one by one, 
the psychedelic lights dissolve within fading melody, 
the rolling ripples of air clutch the last rhythm. 

The dark stillness waiting outside enters inside,
the music in the air never...

Trudging alone on the indolent desert dunes
fragile footprints collapse and the sands flow
on cadence of mirage music, life’s unsung tunes
fades away slow.

In the trembling spine of my parched shadow
hungry predators burrow harrowing dark hole,
as dry desolateness sucks me harshly hollow,
from the depth of soul.

Familiar faces...

Hold your ear on the verge of the moment…
Listen as her eyelashes wisp the air closing
Hear tears filling and clouding her perceptions
Hearkening out as they surge a burning roll
Give an ear to the silence ricocheting inside her
Absorb of her desolateness
Listen as she shakes uncontrollably into...

In the burnt barren wasteland 
Once a graphic garden
I rise from the arms of ashes
A fortified sapling
Split the crevasse of desolateness 
Where I bloom a solitary rose
A pervasive singularity of creativity
Enclosed within the sublime soul
Fathomless as the cosmos
Timeless as the eternity
I unfurl for you in...

Blow away the morning dew
And clear off the heaviness of summer wetness
Times gone are gaunt, your heart is weary
Unbeat the drums of your sordid story
Emancipate your innocent soul
From this spectral link with old life
You are not forgotten
Just another moment of longsuffering
 
The past is done,...

This unhappy man in the midst of overflowing opulence living 
like a discolored precious stone in a box of rare jewels was always 
sad and lonely like a dry wood in a lush green forest, woke up 
one morning, more dejected than the morning before,...

Frozen sky and frost fastened ground
In the mystique mask of departing light 
They meet in the abode of those departed. 
The identities dissolve in inseparable oneness 
Bringing together in seamless proximity
The living and the dead
In gripping stillness and in deafening silence 
In fading light and...

life taken so suddenly... and painfully so,
no time to satisfy desires of togetherness.
happiness to unexpected fear, emotions flow...
remorse , love , compassion, desolateness.

her words haunt my memory , " i never thought
this year would come to this ." i sat , staring 
into her eyes...

The litter of chatter
On air pitter patter
Like the Galean on water:
The other one without the power
There is a desolateness here
Borders broken
By the commerce of men
Restructured by the twitter
Bringing anomie from the bitter
Knowing of self without fetter
To community and roots
Of anchored ancestry.

Fragments, fragments
Broken stones on jarring...

From the edge of the ebon night sky,
under the engulfing clouds of gloom,
the promise of moon I’ve made to you,
I’ll keep before the eclipse starts.

The somber storm of smothering strife 
drifts me away across the slate horizon,
the clouds melt in the torrent of tears
as my...
