Best Narcissus Poems

I am a Narcissus (White)

Once, I stole a glance
Upon my petalled like
Saw, they stood no chance
Of matching my delight

I turned from seeking beauty
In natures glory field
The bright, the gaudy, sultry
To none I’d ever yield

Standing by this pond
Reflection I do see
Of the one I’m fond
Me, admiring...

How deeply Ameinias loved you
The beauty that your face adorned.
The adoration you thought your due
The love of youth you lightly scorned.

As consolation a sword you gave
A paltry gift for such devotion.
You did not care for grief so grave
Derision stoked the devastation.

That sword robbed him of...

Collaboration with David Kavanagh 

Regret fuses form which echoes perception
Handcuff to water as sought submerged reflection
Anti duplicitous from own point of view
Rejection offends but that says more about you

Transformation on edge, background statuesque
Self absorbed in pool, bilocation grotesque
Feet disappear, as sacrificial bait
The real catch lies...

Let those failed lights
keep their starry darks,
no hidden treasures have
they – 
           gems who hoard
their sparks, as bushel
a-cap heaven’s dearest
light,

blessed with angel appearance 
and nature 

now in free mirror fall

kingdom sovereign pool of self 

worships...

Peering into your eyes
is like witnessing 
a Carravagio master
for the first time,
not quite clear,
hazy, 
the Narcissus halo 
reflecting in those
twin pools of deep
azure moire silk,
falling 
into their reach
one remains 
secure for a while, 
above it all,
assessing 
your cloud strewn
sun dappled rivers,
oh the temptation
of it all,
to...

King Cephissus lured Liriope
.  To bathe and frolic in his stream
   Entrapping her she lost all hope
   His favours now she must redeem 
   Her ardent struggles came to naught
   He ravished her, lust was the...

narcissus, the pond
across the surface ripples
disillusionment
dead in the water, floating
not so koi now, bloated carp

 A snow white flower shines in the soft light of a silent meadow. 
 The words that you speak I shall forever echo. 
 A lost love in the dark of the night. 
 They all look your way, but are you blind?
 Can...

In every direction that the wind blows
The bulbs of the narcissus bulge and bloom
In all of latitude doth the wind grows
Brushing its floral leaves, dost the wind groom

For acres the narcissus flowers loom
Abroad earths garden in a village where
Anglican Nuns approached the natives there

Of black...

Look for me in springtime
Where barefoot children play. 
Loving my fair complexion,
As it dances on display. 

Eyes, canary yellow,
Edged in vermilion grace,
Mirrored by crystal pools,
Like stars of outer space.

Poems forever written 
Catch my eternal bliss.
Stanzas continually stressing 
Sweet semantics, this. 

Lovely scented aroma 
Tends, it...

Those tranquil waters of the pool,
   Now sullied by his zealous kiss.
   Could not reveal to natures fool,
   This perfect trap by Nemesis.
   Sustaining life by beggars needs
   "Alas" he weeps; Echo replies,

Ich fand eine kleine Narzisse
Die dacht‘ sie wär‘ eine Rose
Bezaubert von ihrer Einfalt
nahm ich sie mit nach Hause
Sie war glücklich
So bin ich

Die Narzisse steht in der Vase
in voller Blütenpracht
Ich habe sie gegossen
und vor mir gestellt
Sie ist glücklich
So bin ich

Die Sonne scheint auf sie
reflektiert in meine...

NARCISSUS

Night seems so long
And loneliness strikes like a storm
Running away from miseries
Closing my eyes can't hide the emptiness
I know, I can't be with you
Sorry, I can't stop loving you
Saying my prayers that may time run so fast
Up to the moment when fate reaches your heart
So...

And fields and springs faithfully prayed
with hope and love, in life`s sacred dance.
In beauty of his mind, Narcissus survived.

And lovely seasons never would be fade,
because the travel met the hope`s grass.
And fields and springs faithfully prayed.

And so, the people part was well weighed:
good deeds, and...

'an empty verse'
an empty hand

The glass IN your hand
