Best Faraway Poems


A Butterfly's Ballad In the Faraway Land

 I get a glimpse of you

A soft hue of light lavender rising in my dawn

gliding fervently in sun-kissed breeze

An ephemeral beauty enchanting the depths of these caramel eyes

flaunting your gossamer wings in whimsical ballad

sprinkling ethereal dew upon the embers of my heart

And I feel it,a florescent flutter tickling my bare shoulder

a slight inhale of fragrance's breath lingering within my thought

chasing the back of my neck,teasing in wistful wonder

My blushed smile preserves the moment

Of your tender brush across the silk peach of my cheek

Of your fervent kiss fading in evanescent bliss

and unspoiled warmth of ardent touch upon my hair

My heart capture the seconds

till those iridescent wings fly high in sheer splendor

to crimson blossoms which bloom,which sway

which bleed and bend,which wrap their thorns

 around my feet,around my hand

So,I would not follow dreams'coloured pastels

So I would not run to you,and I would not find you

by Spring's muddy gardens,in the faraway land.

The moonbeams bore you in a cradle of light smiling   
warmly a cold blue winter moon rocking over and back thoughts

Midnight mystery howling to a silver reflection deeply echoes whispering winds
over Snow Mountain faraway dreaming stars twinkle in your treasure jewels 

Lost trying to catch your trail freedom inside love the spark igniting 
magic believing in a fairy tale ending dust in a thousand dreams enchanting

I 
am
a boat –
glass-bottomed.
Released to the sea,
I drift dreamily with the tide.
Finding my will’s strength, I float myself to warm waters.
Life beneath me flashes brilliantly; I’m captured and enraptured by the faraway.

Premium Member Between Faraway Distance Is the Poet and I

BETWEEN FARAWAY DISTANCE is THE POET and I

Treacherous stretches mounds of greens feed fresh the mind. . .

never ever upon a spangled heavens or in seagulls’ crash - hush,
nor on echoed notes of tweeting nightingales did I hear; feel. I find
the need to stop, steadily listen to the drumbeating of my heart.

Vivid is the touch of class brushed unto words, phrases and lines
paraded to thousand eyes to be read; critiqued or appreciated.

Not the lyrics, not the tones, not ev'n verses nor blues could conceal.

His pens, the aroma of spring flowers, sweet! Drawing grins to lips:
his style, maybe common to some but to me: truly, one of a kind.
Speaking softly to my nerves, tickling senses to consider he. . .

Our panache oppose however in seeking depths likeness bursts, 
boundless in abandon from fountain of muse, more than amuse.

Not a sonnet, not a kyrielle, not even a haiku nor a tanka could hide.

Unstoppable, the poet and I, our thoughts and feelings fused. Twined
in our inks displayed not only a blooming romance hue. Yes, between us
is a faraway distance, so flagrant - challenging intentions if sincere or not, 

but shared portions of rhymes, talks and times won; serving as shapers,
enriching our vows. Not long, the poet and I is wearing golden rings.

Thorns tearing as a soul cries out 
For a magic star to appear in the Heavens
Lost in the silver of the moon face 
alone inside a chandelier 
star lighting crystals a rainbow of love
In each teardrop one star falls
Within thoughts dust a trail 
falling water sparkling over jewels glistening 
in each and every wish granted
Shimmering silver treasure 
falling in love you are so beautiful 
sweetly beyond this world and the next 
Twinkling behind dazzling sparkles
jewels of everlasting happiness
bliss will be the joy it brings 
in never ending beauty sings 
Each a warm fluttering inside wings
blushing ruby red lips kissing desire 
deeply turning keys passion hotly breathes
Warm with a fire burning bright
flames openly embracing you love
softly and tenderly sighs sweetly
Touching this dream a gentle warm glow
holding the heart open 
to one stunning beauty of a queen

Beneath the Faraway Stars

The tiniest of silver labrets amid the corner of her beautiful elixic lips, so full ~

With a small diamond shining and glittering, upon her perfectly poised nose

These dangling rubies waltzing from beneath her precious meridian lobes, with

A pendant lavaliere; sapient sapphire, wrapped within the finest of gold 

Wearing a white silk dress, cut low, to bare her feeding and full tanned breast

Bronzed reflections of paradise, her soft summers skin 

Gently brushing, upon my wanting and very own ~

While as barefoot we dance, atop the radiant golden sands

Slowly, beckoned beneath the swaying shimmering stars

As into each others eyes we then fall; into the essence of it all

This beauty, while as the waves they so gently play, Beethovens 

Overtures of serenities warm embrace; two hearts and two souls, entwined

Deeply within the mirrors rapturous notes of, a compositions love song ~ 

Taking one anothers hands gently; fingers interlaced amid this light 

Making our way towards the stairs their rising, beyond the whispering shore 

Candles, burning and joyfully waiting, for consecrations breath of life

Consummations rose petals of fragrance, atop this brilliant feathered bed of bright

As slowly I lie her back, to capture forever the pulsing of these beating hearts 

Two souls, melting and melding amid loves destined moment; cherished 

Honey dripping its sweetened nectars; impassioned cries of resoundings 

Within this, utopias, everlasting kiss ~

The blueberry moon appears 
dressed in white full of energy#
Through a sultry haze 
you enter shadows 

As daylight kisses 
twilight goodnight

Into the night 
of my eyes 
Awakening 
your majesty

Deeply cut priceless 
Penetrating beams 
a passageway
into chambers 

Turning tides hold you 
breathless within the core princess
Rose granite bleeds 
in a stone cold cycle

Rock of ages 
carved inside 
an eclipse 

You stand 
one monument

Precious each time 
Catching a falling star 
in the moon's backward glance 
over the right shoulder

Silver pearl reflections shine 
Silken weaving 
a dream magic web 
captures space and time held

As her face waxes gibbous 
Becoming full and bright 
appearing the perfect host tonight

Faraway Town

The problems of America, 
they can not reach me. 
I don't worry about a thing. 
I live happily and free, 
in the basement of my grandparent's house. 

Why not my parents(?), 
well they went to jail. 
No, I live here for free. 
They are afraid I will ask more, 
but they should...
show me the door. 

I am ungrateful, 
I am a user prime, 
to define my rights, 
in other people's lives!

No boundaries, 
no borders, 
we are all alike. 

Just because you hate us. 
We must comply. 
Tents at my front door, 
sh.. in the street. 
America a third world, 
in a real-world, 
of my own town. 

No rule of law, 
they can do as they please, 
soon they will come 
for you, 
even if you have locks...
with keys. 

You cry about debt, that you create. 
You give away yours...and mine too.
No one said it was okay, 
but it was politically correct. 

Free education all around, 
until there is no money, 
to pay teachers, 
that refuse to work without pay. 

Free medical, 
"come here for your hangnails", 
let us pay for that, 
we are so wealthy, 
until we all fall flat. 

Then there will be no service
for anyone, you or me or them. 
Only those that can afford it, 
that will be...mostly...
them.

Sailing a kiss to you my dearest lady 
soft and gentle winds gently they carry me away
starry eyes glisten pearl drops on fragrant memories
sailing within each and every thought love

Honey you whom is as fair in beauty 
as the blossoms covered in dew sweetly dripping riches
deep maiden true golden treasure of the heart 
gift of precious dreams spell magic beyond compare

Enchanting bluebells ring out sweetest tunes 
when I close my eyes awakens a picture pure 
Yearning in the crystal realm one smile
whispering sighs your name softly breathtaking 

Inside upon the warm breeze faraway siren 
whistling tunes flutter always to you my Queen 
Whom crowns emotions champion of the heart 
I drink from the silver chalice of the moon 

Sipping thoughts I kneel before you graciously 
embracing beauty upon the deepest sands 
rising waves within the ocean curl salted 
over and back feelings moistly kissing your feet

Far and Near

Wonders of the world abound
on our earthly stomping ground,
in the seven seas profound,
midst the heavens round us wound.

Images from reaches vast
by astronomers amassed
show in varicolored cast,
cosmic glories unsurpassed,

stories of the great immense,
begging questions why and whence,
scenes stelliferously dense,
bringing past to present tense.

Oh how tantalizing to
lose oneself in starry view
of galactic vision new
where a poet’s words ring true!

Tennyson’s ‘Far--Far—Away’,
penned for Music’s haunting play
with the sounds the words convey
as they whisper, swing and sway,

tells of ‘far’ from past long gone,
murmur from ‘his own life’s dawn’?
breath where ‘doors of death’ go on
through an open curtain drawn?

Whether time or space be meant,
or spacetime together bent,
still, whatever sense is lent,
far’s remote in its intent.

After sunset’s crimson blaze
we may raise a dreamy gaze
in escape from troubled days
to celestial splendors praise.

Will our search of cosmic sphere
teach us to esteem what’s here?
Oft stargazers too I fear
must look far to see the near.

Somewhere out there in the faraway place,
There’s always sunshine and extreme happiness;
A dazzling rapture where our lost loved ones are enjoying,
All God’s embraces for His gift of eternal life- so fulfilling.

In the faraway place, so far beyond those clouds,
There are no more hatred and war but full of love;
No more tears, sickness, calamities and pain,
All angels keep on singing for God’s glory and graces pouring like rain.

So far beyond those clouds,  a place so near to our heart,
Where all our prayers with faith reach at once without a doubt;
A perfect place to rest from all our toils and hardships,
An everlasting paradise with eternal garden of joy and peace.

So near to man’s heart, that place is as far as a step away,
If we don’t take care of ourselves we can go right there as early as today,
As we go on to our journey, let’s always be cautious on our way,
Everyone wants to dwell there, although not now but someday.

I do think of you too... 
dreaming of our moments together....
you are love in my dreams 
sending you a smile when you babe see 

Oh just how that smile, just blew this mind away 
wishing I was holding you warmly right now 
Kissing you on the brow softly emotions
touching with lips and whisper into your ear 
you came to me in my darkest night
an angel of such rare quality

Soft gently nibbling the air in your every breath 
gasping gorgeous waves deeply brushing walls
sitting wishing you were here echoes 
silently dreaming thinking faraway 
Paths cross always you're forever inside floating

Sending you my destiny warm light filled with sparks 
generating from the heart  flying without wings
floating an army of kisses invading deep

Each one a star blazing thought 
sending light across oceans
Rising sun kissing honey 
morning golden sparkling dew
Love passing one big warm hug 
missing you beautiful gem

How often, sullen memories reel
from faraway climb, down to heart’s raw drop
because these buried thoughts do bring to life again
vignettes  of young adult's fire - --brushing lip to lip.
And neither of us dared follow our vow’s pledge..
you shrank away from the taste of life's whims,
and I from the fear of the  deep passion inside.
for those memories have lashed me like a whip.
The indelible kisses of the past,
pressed on the pages of revelry's rhymes,
like the veinless leaves of autumn's parole,
granted in the place of winter's long blast
have allowed us to fearlessly roam--
assaulting a love that need not go wrong.

Premium Member My Faraway Friend

What I miss most, a kind thought, a small word
how we shared, the "memories" and moments
A hug in the wind--- nothing is absurd
with you. . your friendship and your tenderness

What I miss most, is how you made me smile
when we shared the humor, and not the rhyme . .
Advice and reason, truth being in style
respect was given, each and every time

What I miss most, is "anywhere we are"
we share in peace, harmony and prayers too
"Just reach out, I will never be too far"
"Think of me- turn my way," and "I'll lift you"

What I miss most, humor and not the rhyme
respect with a hug, each and every time

Premium Member Dreaming Faraway Drifting

The mountain is covered in a dense falling fog
gun barrel grey clouds shading out,  unto silver
changing outwards orange to soft peach
Gracing the sun setting sky warm thoughts  

 Runaway dream hums, within birds singing gently
 almost  a magic spell sings, in one background choir 
 Enchanting the breeze on a cold tune  
 blue blowing wind on a November 

Evening has broken soft brushing across the brow  
a  dream beauty touching, deep feelings holding hands
Silver treasure lining clouds, I want  
to bathe inside your crowning desires  

Oh you're the angel who takes me out, from darkness
dazzling me in light of your sun, shining smiles  bright  
Crying around the valley howling, a wolf sad  
sweet humming tunes, gentle soft, whispers to a dream
