Best Gleam Poems


Premium Member Without Hope's Gleam
The flower that is given little light
tastes not enough of joy and cannot thrive -
then fades away like dusk into the night.

The soul who struggles just to stay alive -
much like the flower wilting in the dark -
tastes not enough of joy and cannot thrive.

How...

Premium Member Amber Gleam of Summer's Eve
Unspoken dream glints summer’s amber eve
Caressing sweet musings longings appease
Where motifs of romance ecstasies weave
When requited desires strum twilight breeze

Buoyant blows season’s mirth lilting lush glee
When blazing rendezvous emotions churn
Courting heart’s appeal in indulgent plea
Where blossoms of bliss fond fantasies yearn

Beholden to your glance when...

Gleam of Hope
When I look into your eyes 
I see the shadow of the moon 
cascading with all our dreams of tommorow   
   
I see a glow that no other can contest   
a gleam of hope dangling thru my night   
delivering me peace  ...

Eap-Gleam
The midnight stars still gleam:

and the dark sky just beams

with the light bouncing off the stream

by the end of the night it always seems

as the day goes by the light controls my dreams...

With a Gleam In Her Eyes
She still has that gleam in her eyes..
The only surety in life is change,that's the reality ,and time has ensured that whether we like it or not we all have to endure ..but one thing never changes is that gleam in her eyes.
After age, now...

The Guiding Gleam
Within the heart where vibrant waves
Rise and fall to ocean’s test
Many ships through reflected light
Steadily steer till they are blessed....

Ashore their stands a bright light house
like a mountain looming tall
and guides the ships if they are right
or are drifting away at all...

When lost between misleading...

When the Light Loses It's Gleam
I've always wanted to be a light that shined bright, I've always desired that my light leads someone away from the dark, and I show them the light to my true heart hoping that the people I love don't tear it apart.
Sometimes I often wonder...

Premium Member Gleam Midst Gloom
What a quiz-filled existence! 
Blunt surprises form essence;
Flowers full-bloom yesterday,
Fade and fall and mix the mud today...!

Kith and kin sweet-tasting once,
Turn bitter and cause nuisance;
Glamour gone face flits and flips,
Stiffness surrounds nerves and bones; pain grips;

Wealth is spent in waning health,
Secrets shared often in stealth;...

Altar-Gleam
Oh, Lord, it rends my soul to give
this wish--desire--full away,
Not clinging to a piece of hope;
A piece that says, "Perhaps someday..."

For now the thing--so frightening clear--
Is to release it dark and full
and keep no sliver-thought of me,
Though giving leaves a gaping hole.

Desire--oh, how sharp the...

Lost Gleam of Self-Esteem
When at first we met, I was drawn to
your high self-esteem.
So many goals, you were aiming high
and you dared to dream.

Thanks  to me, you've been awakened
to your present state.
Your weakened mind is unable to depict any emotion,
be it love or hate.

I began mocking you,...

Gleam In Ale
gleam in ale,
a glass of dark brew happiness
served on a marble bar ;
frothy inebriant, 
a tickle to his moustache,
grown over moon's pass
juggled with solar heat 
across the heaven's street, blue sky.

gleam in ale,
a froth for drowning
mumbles and grumbles
of life
a glass of dark brew happiness....

Premium Member A Gleam In Your Eye
Look out my window and what do I see

The big ole sun shining back at me

A day to celebrate this great world of ours

To sing hallelujah and thank our stars

Grumbling will surely get you nowhere

Spread the good word for all to share

Jump up for joy,...

Atrophy
She'd had her round in Life's blighting furnace,
Where stealthy wear and age blurred her face.
Dents shot where dreamy dimples had grown,
Lightning smiles usurped by involuntary frown.  

In her livelier turns by Midas' glowing shores,
She galloped and gleamed like grated brass. 
Time’s grim cankers fell...

How Can I Love the Night
This torment 
that i’ve been going through
When will this end?

Day and night passed
But even the day feels night
The gloomy and cloudy of every season
Is the only thing that I see.

What is summer?
What is day?
When all I can see is darkness
Even in the middle of a...
