Best Lifetimes Poems


Premium Member Many Lifetimes
Incarnations of many lifetimes
sweep before me...
Liberating my soul's chants 
As universal notes of music
Float on vibrant strands of color, 
Phasing purple, pure and light, 
In violet vibrations, swirls of
Incandescent glitter shimmers
Drawn by gravity in downward drifts.
Flaming candle's smoky essence 
Mixes with incense of sandalwood
In a...

Premium Member More Average Lifetimes
An army of mites reside on our lashes
With mouths and tiny claws
Along the way during human evolution
This surely must have been a flaw

Astronauts strangely can't burp in space
What kind of dribble is that
A feline can have over a hundred kittens
Now that's one pooped out cat

Some...

Lifetimes
How long is a lifetime?
They say it lasts
From birth to death
But is that really true?
Mine has surely been long
Centuries, at least
Or have I been here
Just a few months?
A few moments.
It all happened so fast
Age six seems like only
Seconds have passed
Age sixty was an eon ago
Perhaps...

Into Many Lifetimes
In this lifetime the bond is blood
But these wounds go back eons
We hurt at something seemingly small
But the game of pain 
Has a Great Fall of Fame
Into many lifetimes

Whether we choose to see what is
Our reality is this moment
Or taste disastrous recipes of loathing
The gift...

5 Decades, a Dozen Lifetimes
Born into an ordinary, churchgoing family
No one expected Satan to reign supreme
Relapse and rehab and sobriety chips
Postpartum vacations in the psych ward’s west wing
Three decades of life, aged twice as much
Finally lulled into domestic bliss
The wild can never truly be tamed
Excitement and fire I missed
Turned...

8600 Lifetimes Later In My Mind
a soda fanatic
a tv hound
an armchair fiend
a couch potato....fried....not baked

i am fooling myself here
i miss you and that's just why
too bad you are no longer here to hear it
it is six years exactly today
the inhaler still sits by the picture you took twenty-four hours before
when...

In Lifetimes Before
I have loved you,
In lifetimes before,
Right here and now,
I love you even more.

I can’t make you love me,
Not so sure you should.
Doesn’t stop the tears,
Or prayers that you would.

My heart doesn’t know,
What I have longed for,
Is out of my reach.
Or how to let you go?

I...

Lifetimes of Lies
I was so young the first time,
like many others.
Santa Clause,
The lie should be a crime.
A bit older and in school,
like many others.
Our history,
Lieing is the Golden rule.
And now a bit older still,
like many others.
Love is forever,
He lied for his thrill.
Now all grown up,
like many others.
Freedom,
I'm...

Premium Member Chapter 94 -- Damian Delilah Mallory: Lifetimes of Heirs
Days passed, and became weeks.
Weeks became months. Soon it
Was June. "Everybody in the pool!"
All the kids communed. Molly and 
Dolly joined, in the cool blue zest.
The children answered the heat
With all day swimming relays.
Dolly and Molly left the pool 
After an hour to tend to...

In All Our Lifetimes
Would you believe we already met before
At the first Oak tree of an acre more? 
You're like a short-lived beautiful trail of light
I waited for you during my empty nights.

Do you remember what you said to me?
"In all our lifetimes, I will come to thee."
So...

Premium Member Surfing Lifetimes
it's like surfing; 
over lifetimes I can't 
remember, but
carrying little pieces
over, adding new drops
to sugary, rolling waves, 
falling, riding; shouting
occasionally at the devil
or you when you're 
nearer

Premium Member Death Invites No Fear
(blank verse)


Not long, but clear and strong, came Dad to me.
He'd died six months ago, grief still my decree,
yet Dad's words steered me away from tragedy.
This gave me proof that death invites no fear.
Souls ebb and flow, roll like ocean's own tide.
Death must be two...

Premium Member I Walk into Love With You
I walk into love with you.
With my eyes wide open.
To take every measure along the way.

I didn't fall in love with you.
Because my eyes were wide open,
So, I can love you every step we take.

I believe in destiny and fate.
And we intended,
To do things that...

Why are days looking like endless lifetimes,
Mistimes of pastimes...

As all I have is a mortal heart...
Foretime the thwart, an impart....
