Best Omens Poems

OMENS
O’er wintry land bare trees now sway
On wing above, black birds traverse
Occluded skies of baleful grey
Outspreading wings imparting curse 

Yet outcomes told by prescient sense
With omens of dark consequence
May be belied restoring sight
Of hope; see yon horizon bright

With a voice ornamented in ogled tension
you ask me,
like vulnerable flesh queries warm obsession,
Do you mean to love me this way...
on your mouth, a hold of hope I see
to you I say...
Does the sun choose to flare into sapphire atmosphere,
Does the moon decide who's eyes...

Distant Omens

Augeries
of forgotten doubts
long erased by hourglass sands
shadows passing through an empty space
voided by loveless passion
hiding in search of
an omen.

You’re agonizing over your decision,
you waver, and you can’t make up your mind,
and after back and forth and much revision
you’re this close to deciding when you find

two eagles flying in the same direction
in which you’re driving – surely that’s a sign!
Two eagles are an omen...

Birds fled from the sky
Cinder of clouds dry for rain --
The lightning forks night

The landscape is bare
The water recedes to deep -
Tsunami rises

The earth belches smoke
Thundering hooves char the leaves -
Volcano erupts....

Random thots
Two hornbills
On a grevillea tree
I look at them eat seed
They soar noisily onwards
Towards the next seedy tree
Send pigeons I had asked Of
Hornbills problems am reminded
There is no washing your hands off
No pigeon just a couple of noisy hornbills
Resting on one neglected grevillea branch

Omens

The sweet aroma of rice; yonder bare fields;
on the stone the dark patches of water pitchers
and her looking at the sky where buzzards fly,
are completing the composition of waiting.

She has been waiting too long; too long she has made her man...

Its twilight the two love birds call out..
call out to each other.. its early evening
the lovers hold hands.. and the suns sets
the shy bride comes out.... Shinning star
and the seer goes back home for soon..
Rain will cover the land

Rain is coming
    I can smell it
Fires are blazing
    I foretell it
Darkness looms
    I can’t repel it
Where is your heart
    I can’t compel it...

I guess it's no longer 'the people's house.'
The 'people' rot in a DC jails with no trial nor bail.
I have never been to the Capital, won't go now,
like I never visited the Tower of London
with its crown jewels and dungeons.
They say that if the jet...

spreading fear
of pending apocalypse
end times will appear
with the blood moon eclipse

the stillness of night
could not quite hide
the cost of original sin

too much pure delight
bound up within pride
we took it on the chin

as if our birthright
has become too tightly tied
to the color of our skin

the dead...

Somewhere between your hollow sight,
I danced in the sparks. And only
in your peripheral sight, will
I become an apparition 
of our solemn song and it's rite.

By now my feet are too scathed.
I fall to my knees, going
and enduring.  My singing,
has now dissolved to humming.

Before you...

Modern world with modern modems,
AI, Wi-Fi, modern day totems,
keyboard nostalgia, a typewriter App,
mind that modern knowledge gap,
discord, discourse, modern day omens.
