Best Expanse Poems


Premium Member The Unrolling Expanse
Staying on a promontory, I watch,
The wobbling mass of water below.

Before my eyes,
The sea stretches far;
An infinite scroll of chiffon,
Rolling and unrolling
In shades of green and sapphire.
In its sedate hours of brooding silence, 
A calm expanse with feeble waves,
As if seized by an uncanny lassitude,
Lying...

Floral expanse




Roses in vivid colours that smiled in glamour,
Red blood to be garlanded at valour,

White lilies bunching hearty and serene,
Catching lovers' fancy to the extreme,

Lavenders at the crest of mountains,
Challenging beauties of the terrains,

Merrigolds shining bright with sunrise,
Worshipping aroma to no surprise,

Dahlia, orange and yellow...

Siberian Expanse
One of the beautiful things about Siberia it is a sea of grass
Like purple color of the soul Roth grass
And flowers like Siberian corydalis hides in the grass
The surreal beauty of flowers sends its divine fragrance through the ocean of grass

The grass covers the endless...

Dark Expanse
Fading into the black expanse,
I feel my life as it slowly passes me by,
Flashing before me like one of those picture shows,
Spanning from my childhood,
Up until the day I left home,
And abandoned all that I loved.

I went off to seek my place in the world,
Because...

In the Great Expanse of Tomorrow
Shimmering blues catching the light..
Like dew droplets on a chilled morn..
Clouds motionless, filling the sky..
their soft silken shuffle, reflecting upon the silent sea..
Mighty peaks rising from the pebbled shores..
Stretching their ancient bones towards the burning sun...
Scents of pine and wildflowers mixed, floating on the breeze..
Man's...

The Expanse
great minds
not lured in by the need
to assert power over
others,
but yet to invigorate 
themselves &
others,
simultaneously,
hand the baton of
knowledge, practice,
discovery, utilization &
progress,
from hand to hand
(as one dies the next
begins---like one candle
lighting another 
infinitely),
in an ever expanding
fascination,
when staring out into
the cosmos,
egging on the populace,
whose own growing love
for...

Premium Member The Expanse of My Soul
When you ask what is it that stirs my soul
Why, I have no words to tell you about it all
Except that, in my soul, lies hope
I do hope that someday, 
Somewhere even, life is understood as being but a play!

Hope that somehow, life and love...

Sugared of Soul In the Grand Expanse
Spry of step, your clover feet
green with chlorophyll oil
sugared the soul, contained, complete
bergamot imprinting soil

You are a butterfly shy of wings
tethering a cloud in your net
Immersed in the wonder that wonderful brings
you give just as much as you get

Swept of hair, eyes of blue
imprinted with...

The Expanse of Nothingness
This victim of self like a snake
Broken heart to devour my pride
And then what coils around will awake
Ouroboros eating his lies

This hero of truth like a trance
All black and white in this haze
Where my sword in the darkness will dance
Behind my shield I dream for...

Premium Member In the vast expanse of twilight
In the vast expanse of twilight,
where the shadows of trials dance and whisper secrets,
I wander through the labyrinth of existence,
meeting you, adversity, with an open heart,
Like a seeker among ancient stars,
searching for hidden strength in the embrace of darkness.
Oh, adversity, have you not grown weary...

Expanse of Time
Expanse of Time  
The past is a bridge where I once stood tall upon a time 
when chocolate was rationed and oranges were only eaten 
at Christmas and it was a sensation when a ship loaded 
bananas came in. I was proud then of...

Premium Member Skies Expanse
The bird flies with wings spread wide
Soaring with wind currents side to side
Clear in the open blue skies expanse
In a beautiful sight of freedom’s dance
Swaying back and forth above in the air
In a kind of release to watch and stare
If only we could take such...

Premium Member Random Chance, Or Divine Expanse
So many leave the fold of traditional religions
   Bristling at all their manifold restrictions
Mustn't eat this, shouldn't drink that 
   Always cover your head with a hat

What they say is little doubt very true
   Based on the now-popular point...

Premium Member Mind's Eye
My private universe
resides far beyond the cosmos
and into galaxies yet unfound.
Man’s mortal eye
cannot appreciate
the vastness of beyond.

My private universe
encompasses all, yet nothing.
It is much too profound to contain.
No human sought
to walk moist, spongy shores,
none to drink its knowledge.

My private universe
oozes with untold adventure
and pictures of...
