Best Perception Poems

Perception


while djinnis cackle

I craft poetry
in this room 
with both hands tied

I compose
on white walls
with an imaginary blue pen

From corners of silver lakes, you shimmer
In glancing ripples, fluid treasure awaits
And I, diving for pearls, a swimmer
Tangled within your illusion of depth
Until the fragile surface separates
Ghosts of tarnished gold grows dimmer
As mirages of you fall to shallow fates.

I thought I heard you calling in the rain from afar
What do you need on this gray day without a star?
The fog is lifting, revealing a crystal light
If you look in the sky, you may also see the sight
Perception can change, quick as lightening to...

They say that life is unpleasant,
It's filled with more downs than ups,
But if you see the good in downs,
It'll be easier to stand back up.

They say that life is unfair,
Not all accomplish their dreams,
But if you can learn to except defeat,
It'll open doors to a...

PERCEPTION

Before the abyss, I had it all
Letting go of all I see
My friend, I hope our time won't end
It took a short time for you to notice 
Without knowing who I am 
We talked, we became friends

Connecting the dots, missing every line
Connect them and figure...

To see ourselves as others see us --
unmasked images, through others' eyes --
half-formed caricatures, perhaps --
or mere grotesqueries -- 
barely recognized, telling
what we thought to hide --
we'd label these as skewed
perceptions, not real truth...

But, no matter -- when once
I thought myself unfairly judged
and asked "How...

An ocean in a drop of water
The cosmos in a speck of dust
A divine spark in every being...

Just when I thought you knew me well
You're bothered by what circulates and surely I can tell
I know you heard about Georgia peach, i.e. Ashley
I know you feel like my past girls are still mad me for...
I see you couldn't finish your statement
I'm hard to...

Life goes on,
All around me,
My life goes on,
While life runs without me,
What to perceive,
How to know,
Without the wrong perception,
Wondering,
If my life connects to life,
Does anyone notice me,
Because I notice them,
Does anyone want to care about me,
My life,
In their life,
Because I want to know,
The world around...

You once told that I was beautiful
 Later on,after kids and weight gain
Your perception of me began to alter
You didn't look at me with loving eyes
I had changed in your eyes…….
You said I had repulsed you
For years I put up with your abuse
Your vicious words...

The self-obsessive free will seemingly dormant,
envelopes the mind with an unreal veil transient, 
obscures the ordained pathway God paves,
that l need to travel for it’s designed at His will. 

The unseen glow of the omnipresent light 
floods my possessed essence, but I don’t discern, 
for...

Conflict of Perception 

I am amazed to see you fight out 
The perception people hold for you 
You do not look like a bright star 
And shine like a moon in the sky 
So they think that you are nothing but a big zero 
Whereas...

Yes it was a good morning until it wasn’t-
how that did so last,
Though now it’s night and lights are bright
Morning- in the past.
Though reflecting back I can differentiate,
contemplate and calculate-
Good and bad and not too late,
To perceive a morning great....

*** MUSINGS ***

I have grown old,
thankfully, 
dragging along all my ailments,
unavoidably, it seems, but endured ~ and
graced by the frequent
    florets of wisdom
    adorning the rounds of circumspect musings
— those streams of sub-conscious pondering — 
which then course (perhaps...

The universe is in your eyes
(It exists in processing; God's the background)
After this life, the energy Pole - and the eyes -
Allow Consciousness Pole to arise
They are always together, Dear Heart!
Like background ( or SPACE itself) in art
As crucial as Foreground (the details, the stage)
WE...
