Best Nimbus Poems

I am Nimbus, gathering my black ruffled gown
preparing to race against the whistling wind.
My tears threaten to come tumbling down
and dark tendrils untamed; have come unpinned.
My bereavement wails as thunder hammers the skies.
Twin scepters of lightning flash in my mournful eyes.

I twirl in rhythmic dance...

Sky walks on childhood white cloud dreams—
Wind's gist, my puffy pillows, undo; stunned
With tastes of sugar rain in coffee mug—
Dropped out of the air, I break in streams

That trickle down her nose; withdrawn in
A memory walking home from play,
The sunset a strange blue fade that...

With the brooding nimbus clouds in the sky,
It gets darker and darker with eerie silence in ears,
the flash of lightning illuminates the dark skies,
the sound of thunder fills the heart with fear.

The nimbus clouds look so ominous,
Darker it gets, louder it thunders,
It changes its pattern...

Near the river,children,
newly married women,
neighbours and relations
neatly dressed, wear threads on
necks, men wear threads on wrists
Next aarti's shown, to greet
Nation's pride Cauvery 

Note:
 South Indians rely on River Cauvery for the irrigated agriculture.Since the river experiences water flow seasonally, people are always excited to welcome...

 Invitation to visit Olympus
Predestined noble affair
Feeling extremely timorous
But, Apollo will be there.

Anticipation is killing me
To think I'll meet immortals
Thrilling thought, smiling glee
Seeking Olympus portal.

Riding high on Nimbus Express
There's no other way to travel
Except I had to decompress
Or my humanity would unravel.

Immortals left me breathless
Handsome...

The snob went out
I was alone in the mud hovel
Kind of wistful
After the sunbeam
I saw utter splendor,
Nimbus....

I have an aura of a purple ambience. . . 
           a woebegone . . . forlorn essence and perfume 
        my painful past is a heavy dark...

Quote by author: "Its as if an angel wept and left behind all the tears of heaven's sorrow"

The floodgates of my thoughts wide opened 
and out came an outpouring of love and compassion 
from the font of my wicker nebulous heart* 
I saw him with...

When it opens its large dark eyes wide
and then flashes the big eye-lashes
landscape lights up with darkness
birds, herdsmen, cattle scamper for shelter

But when it closes its eyes and falls asleep
blue sky spreads as blanket to horizons
families take hoes, animals come from hiding
and there are activities,...

The brooding nimbus in my sky
will not depart. A sunny day
I long to see, so why oh why-
I ask- will it not go away.

Why do I look and always see
the brooding nimbus in my sky?
Compassion? It has none for me.
I pray for it to pass...

you move like a hefty pin
on a rail,
anchors lodged to every limb,
like a guilt ridden prisoner.
you strike at an impression,
as if flightless,
feathery.
but your disguise
is utter pain,
deceiving.

move on! move on!

abandon your heavy ways.
find a release.
perhaps during a seasonal drought?
i know some would appreciate that....

From this cool tip
Even from this side of the cape
The compelling nimbus 
Of inhuman dogma comes.

They come with sharp kieries
To ruin this innocent kettle-drummer
Even their worthless kafir.

From afar I watch and hoot to no avail
For the hawks glide
And carry our guiltless chicks.

We chide with less...

Darkness loomed over the place, 
Damp air hung like a shroud, 
Crows cawed in the distance, 
If ever you felt gloom, it was here, 
You could almost reach out and touch it, 
A cold mist cloaked everything, 
Not a hint of colour to be seen,...

Stronger by the Hour
David J Walker

It is
            Afterall
Only a wall
Made of words
How many lawyers does it take
            To make
A wall of bricks

I wake up to a growing golden dawn

Birds chirping songs like symphonies adorning

The sweet scent of natures verdancy in green

Flowers opening rainbow blooms of radiancy

I see from my window the rays of light dappling my face

Through the curtains that shimmer in a wave

From a gentle...
