Best Jolted Poems

  We sat cosy on the veranda,
Watching the sun dipping on the horizon,
Deep red twilight that suddenly turned dark granite.

The sea grew stormy like a tsunami, and fear:
It gripped us both; what a jolt by twilight.
Sea waves reached our veranda, and we got wet.
Fear!...

Once again the silvery moon has pilfered the golden sun
Total eclipse is upon me, time has elapsed suspending orange
Twilight’s begun on the orb’s descending softer glow 

Veiled in twilight…                ...

Behind me, I hear,
 The receding roar of years.
  It sends chills down my spine.
   For me, no more springing steps,
    But a fast- withering torso,
     So awkward and unsure.

A breath of light and suddenly I'm lost.  Catapulted by 
a mesmerizing scene of audacious beauty.
I'm a ringtone of arrival on a magic carpet ride, 
run me over with a feather, then let me repose   
Life on earth unhems, I let go...

Now aubade has gone 
and the day has spun its spun 
A jolt of twilight wakens
the nothingness to come 
No more rises or zeniths
no future for the sun 
only the shocking truth of knowing 
When life’s done it’s done
For death can never be destroyed or...

I woke up with tears in my eyes
Befuddled, aghast, I couldn’t remember…
Must’ve been a dream, a memory of a distant past
And try as I might, all I have are cold embers
Of long forgotten kisses and ashened wishes.

I close my eyes and will for sleep
But the...

The autumn night started out very peaceful as I fell into a deep sleep. Then the thunder ripped open the early morning as the rain poured down. I was Jolted by Twilight and the loud lightning out of bed.

the start to a new evening-
twilight from...

Quote: "Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise." Unknown Author of a well known poem.

As the day meanders by,
Sunbeams still stream from the sky, 
With so many promises left to fulfil.
And a relaxed sensation lingers...

We had so much fun, 
Joining hands and strolling around the lake in the sun, 
The blue skies over the majestic mountain peak, 
It reminds us that love stands tall in a serene wonderland. 

Jolted by twilight, all good things must come to an end,...

sounds and senses serenade as the sun,
words and whispers possess power like a gun…
perhaps my lingering lullabies made a broken heart believe~
the silence spoken, jolted by twilight lips purely to deceive…
take all the tales I twist so you can achieve~
what delusions your creative mind can...

caught napping 
resting on our past laurels 
never served anyone well 

in twilight of existence 
Earth is retaliating 
and jolted into action 
which we might very well now regret awakening 

I’ve no tears left for mankind 
never interrupt your enemy when he is making a...

I lay with languor praying for an answer I’d been seeking.
Azure glitter-drops splashed upon
the clean white sand nearby my feet.
I drifted into sleep then as wisps of clouds
in a sky mirroring the cerulean sea beneath it
wafted slowly like my slackening pensive thoughts.
I’d dozed and was...

twilight falls over me like a wave
the dimness wraps around me like a cloak
the colors inspire me poetically
all those streaks and tones of purple, blue, 
and pink mingling, swirling,merging 
overcoming my consciousness
I am mindful and aware of each ebb and flow
jolted, amazed, and astonished,...

I'm jolted by the twilight of my years.
So blessed to be mid-eighty standing still
to bask in memories of what has passed-
and grateful for my present, awesome life.

My thoughts of future years are now defined;
for certain, there's an ending to my road
where I will not be...

Like dreams ~ as conscience echoes through the dark,
and life's mirage laps upon my shores
where dunes of sand are blown like drifts of snow.
I'm lost ~ alone ~ not knowing where to go,
except between where beach roses grow and...
where love is/was still unforgettable ~ regrettable?...
