Best Past Lives Poems

A few weeks ago I had a dream wherein my Chinese wife dyed her black hair blonde; then I woke up and told her I had just dreamt she became a blonde. Well, she was a bit indignant, saying 'Why would I ever do that?"....

Last night my sister died
One week before the Winter Solstice.
My father was worried about her jewelry.
He, one of my other sisters and me,
went to the hospital because he wanted
the three rings frozen on her fingers.

The rings like the circle of life
may have powers to bring...

Incarnation and a better life,
Has always been a human strife,
Strange curiosity to excavate,
Living cool present, yet divagate,

Since age of three I yearned to fly,
Little sweet cuckoo I always spied,
Melody of voice I could imitate,
As an echo I could reciprocate ,

Birth of life, dying getting revived,
Closer...

PAST LIVES	

Oh, what might I have been?
Get the Ouija board, the planchette
Exhort the spirits of Cayce and MacLaine
Take a float through the baffling arcane

The past must suit male fancy
“Madam Zolta consult thy crystal clairvoyant
Bring forth those vaporous hosts
The filmy, the whispering, shapeless ghosts”

I yearn to...

Rotating Door 
(M J Halliday 20140623)

I stepped through the rotating door,
To be born in a nameless land.
Recycled again, like before...
A soul as ageless as the sand.

No one escapes mortality.
I stepped through the rotating door.
Spent the next life in a city
Among the disenfranchised poor.

The next few...

PAST LIVES
By Mark Miller © 11/12/2016
Marching boots upon unspoken graves, 
As Censor taunts intrinsic states
Fleeing the dusk fear panic
To covet are ready many facade-.
Fallen past through people driven hosts,
Who file mechanical figure holes
Coffee Coffin breaks bewildered illusion 
Of empty cubic selves lying deception
For hubris stance...

I was Indiana, riding with rifle pointing ahead,
then Cassanova, lost count of how many in my bed,
as Sitting Bull, I looked down directing my braves,
I passed under an arch, giving one of Cleopatra's waves.

Tried to change history - it wasn't Custer's last stand,
as Columbus, I...

I smiled when I woke from my dreams
Vanquished is the dark tormentor
My dreamscape has refreshed, it seems
And the nightmares cannot enter

From Native American brave
To a mystery woman’s grave
In past-life regressions, I’ve learned
Not to be overly concerned

When I woke from my dreams, I smiled
The dark tormentor...

I believe that in another life
a famous singer was what I had been
learning no voice I had gave me strife
this became apparent in my early teen

The flat out of tune caterwauling 
instead of sweet pure notes
had both me and family cringing
only my lover on me...

Raindrops dropping out,
                                          ...

One of my past lives appeared without warning
I was so handsome    she without reservation
DAYLIGHT!
(or    was it a dream?)


A prince of Egypt
Just as the ouija board said
In the museum    come face to face with myself

I looked back
At my footprints
Then took a picture
To remember 
The last time
I ever looked back

Merman in a tide pool
Mermaid of my mind
 
Gallup me unicorn
Center my centaur
 
Mysticism in myth
Is it real?
Not now, but maybe before 
 
Once a unicorn
Today I canter
Towards my destiny
 
Now a maiden
Washing her hate away
In the waves
 
Roll me tight, ocean ******
Salvation is in...

In a land far far away,
In between time and space,
I see you for the first time,
I notice your eyes, those beautiful eyes,
The grace with which you move,
I will always remember that about you.
The bus jars me awake.
As I leave, you look up.
Our eyes meet I...

Soul Journeys

My dreams as a young girl, of a man,
A lover who gently strokes my soft skin,
A great longing from my past for the future, 
Sometimes so overwhelming with the sadness of loss. 
My life journey and destiny already in place,
As I search once again...
