Best Glimmers Poems

How long will I love you, often you ask
Forever and a day, my love will last
Till there’s no blossom or leaves upon trees
Or pretty daffodils dancing o’er breeze.

Till clouds cease to form patterns in the sky
All seas and rivers begin running dry
Till all poets have...

As I am looking skyward on this night,
   by Mother Nature’s beauty I am blessed,
      as all the twinkling stars are shining bright,
   but one white jewel stands out from all the rest,
with her bright beauty...

One day mom gave me a bottle sparkling,
bright fairy pixie lights swirled around me;
all about my room sparkles encircling,
the twinkles from the bottle were set free !

Mom, what a wonderful glimmering light,
a golden glowing magical dazzle;
lights are floating up and down, left and right,
oh,...

The candles we light in honour of your name
Reflect the brightness you gave to our lives
Burn away at the darker side surrounding
Giving way to freedom's path for your spirit
Helping bring healing to the hearts that miss you
Binding you in mind, faith and prayer
So your memory...

*Playing around with Alliteration


The sun softly shimmers with gold glimmers  
Sanguine sunsets dance marvelous minuets 
Before falling abed, he briefly bled 
for having to close his eyes
beneath stunning skies when daylight dies 
Revived, reborn each misty morn 
With radiant rays, he deftly displays 
his...

   In the heart of 
a howling waterfront, 
where waves weave whispers 
to the waning night, 
I wander through the wilderness, 
seeking sequins of...

on a dreary stroll

      tints  from night's lamp post glimmer--
  
   calming mournful thoughts

In a city of shadows and glimmers, where glass towers rise like dreams
in a starless night, we search for the contours of our own destinies,
shrouded in the fine mist of mornings too hasty to greet us,
we lose ourselves in the labyrinth of streets where every...

In the country we do not have city vison,
we have a phosphorus luster,
we have snails and worms
that turn over a silvered mulch.

The slow burn of a late dusk
kindles sun-setting shadows –

the sheen of beetle clipper-claws.

A chitinous moonlight flickers
upon crystalline windowpanes.
Then there is the glint of...

At six you reeled in your first trout, smoked your first cigarette.
You haven’t flicked your last one out. Each of us at last exhales
the dream like rainbows in a stream. Fish run that river yet....

In a world where everything glimmers in a play of lights,
The girl with diamond eyes steps forth like a shooting star into the night.
With every gesture she makes, she leaves sparkling trails on the city streets,
A goddess of time, with diamond hair that whispers forgotten...

In the country, we do not have city shine,
we have luster, 
we have the glimmer of voles,
the fumes of turbid crawlers
under the slow burn of iridescent woods. 

We who night-watch
see from sunken waters,
gather light from luminous cisterns.
We understand black;
how it sheens the clapper claw.

On the...

In the ocean’s vast and boundless deep, where light begins to cease,
A world of silent shadows casts a spell of tranquil peace.
Abyssal creatures, luminous with bioluminescent glows,
Paint streaks of light amidst the dark, where the deep ocean flows.

Jellyfish, like floating lanterns, illuminate the sable sea,
Drifting...

The treetop glimmers outside my window
   As light, dancing upon the leaflets -
Shimmies about in affable yellow.
   My gaze can't help but be captivated
By light, pure and perfectly aglow.

In the wind, swaying charismatically -
   Every leaf is twirled as...
