Best Eclipse Poems

~ECLIPSE~

The shining light hides behind my eyes,
Comes in a super nova surprise
My spirit glides into the skies,
Spreading the perfect heat like the sunrise

I was like a diamond under the beauty of the ocean!
My current rides out with smooth motions,
Leaving a taste with intense emotion
Captured by...

My dear Selene
you continue
to amaze me...
tonight you took
my breath away
as I espied
the veiled beauty
of your flushed face
and like a fool
was lost for words!

Luna, to the depths 
     of my fondest delight,
You are regally dressed 
     this beautiful night.
Your beaming full face, 
     frosted splendidly bright,
Causes Venus to become 
     pale in...

Gatherings from my heart 
   fervid thoughts as they seep
from its depths they are churning 
   my love runs fathoms deep
Flowing from pointed nib of pen  
   evocative words alight
I envision you reading them 
   in...

Tonight I searched the starry skies

looking for the moon

In the umbra of the Earth

it's lunar limbs were strewn

Rays of light were dripping

reflecting off the sea

A glimpse of heaven was what I saw

shining down on me

I hadn't seen such a sight

since your vision in my dreams

Those...

Oh supermoon looks so huge and pretty 
Hiding behind the earth just for fun 
We observe them from both town and city
Moon blushes red as the rising sun

Across the sky the Sun could see
The Moon approach, with nervous glee
A longtime coming, an empirical fact
Ninety-Nine years to be exact

The Sun stood ready, her corona ablaze
Moments away from a stellar phase
Not a crescent or harvest or even a full
She wondered about gravitational pull

Now almost...

TOTAL   ECLIPSE   OF   THE   SUN    
 

We watched horrified, awe-struck for hours while the sun died
Slowly, shorn of long golden locks, suffocated by the oncoming moon-rock.
Samson,   blinded.   His eyes ...

fabulous confab
concurring, conjoining, draping
significant rendezvous  in tandem 
coiled  hearts

MINDFUL OF SOLAR ECLIPSE

He’s coming with his dark glasses
and dizzying smile

He’s stopping by for a minute or two
a minuet of manic joy

He covers the sun with his steady hand
she tingles with trepidation

Will she be blotted out from his employ
she wipes off sweat as he passes...

Raven Blue twilight,

Existence epitomized,

Formless shadows lurk.

Dragon took his penguins aloft to view the eclipse on that fine day.
They were careful to use the special viewing glasses as their mainstay.
The penguins were so excited and Dragon was always eager to please.
But he had to do it right, no matter whatever the...

Who said:
"You don't realise what you've got, till it's gone."

In your absence I despise silence,
when you're gone loneliness visits,
but his friendship, I do not desire.

An empty scent circulates in the room.
Air is cold and crisp, all is black and white
with sad songs on repeat. 
I...

Under the broad sweep of endless sky,
In that rare and hallowed moment
When the moon, in audacious stealth,
Edges before the sun,
A quietude descends, profound and deep.

The air, thick with anticipation,
Holds its breath;
The earth, in its tireless orbit,
Pauses—in reverence 
To the grandeur to which we all belong.

This...
