Best Poignantly Poems


Premium Member Laments of My Heart
I hear the voices you once bequeathed to me
Enchanting concert music in symphony of love
But I left the theater before the show was over
Walking all alone in the missteps of contempt,
Endorsing the reticence of unspoken words.

Deep in my psyche these memories now reside
Where devoid of...

Premium Member Echoes of War
There beneath the dome of ashen sky
Nary a hint tonight of her favorite stars 
And motion above of cumulus clouds
Neither does thunder, nor pleads aloud.

Restless, voiceless she poignantly recalls
Spark that evoked from doting heart
As under the olive tree he knelt down,
Before his vows got muffled...

Premium Member Ode To Inspiration
Oh sapience of musings, oh savior of poetic art!
How longingly I seek you out to inspire my ballad
When lassitude of the night envelopes my mind
And grimace of dawn darkens shrouded in fog.

Oh lyrics of melodies, oh harmonies of music!
How eloquently you speak in articulate dreams
When...

King Vlad Redux – Second Cold War

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin’s grimy fingerprints on current history
are for him nothing to gloat about—au contraire I say emphatically:
His actions bespeak one who’s not an architect for peace—not at all,
rather a quite deceitful dictator and a harbinger of a Second...

Premium Member Moon Rays
It promised to be a bright starry night
as the sun dipped over the horizon.
Poignantly poised the few clouds scatter
as majestically the moon makes her appearance.

So close as she starts her nightly sweep
her rays near bright as day, regally
she dominates the dark sending it to oblivion...

Premium Member Unheralded Prince
Upwards you gazed, poignantly painting me
like no one had before, nor has done since.
Concentric white and yellow circles. Free
of any common bearing or pretense.

I'd seen idyllic villages before -
The steepled church in sacred echo of
the cypress, looking down in fond rapport,
as olive trees embrace the...

Premium Member chamomile clemency
f o r g i v e n e s s
is the window
to unknot the twigs of tainted trees,
where cuffed anklets
around the star-struck skin of
seraphic silhouettes
feel the suppressed sighs
of the ice-moon,
while
cocooned in a nest
of clamorous clouds,
blanketing rivers of love
flowing within
the esoteric orb,
like the raining snowdrops,
designing...

Gratitude
With words of gentle beauty,
your heart a lightning rod,
you grace us with your poems
that portray the face of God.

You sustain your themes so poignantly
ne'er straying from your track,
you always plumb the core of things,
of candor there's no lack;

and you're a friend to loneliness
to anger and...

Premium Member Not A Perpetual Dream
Travelling to the past…tiptoeing
back to soft, tender days of miracle,
which disappeared like crimson
rays of dusk gradually spread an
aura of apparent everlasting peace
with birds homecoming...
cocooned by mother’s love, and
father’s affection…protected
by doting siblings, a poignantly loving
and giving, blissful childhood!

Life is not a perpetual dream,
easy, and flowing, soothing,...

You Are the Pilot For Boarding School Students
YOU ARE THE PILOT   (for boarding school students)

You need not wear a veil of pain
If you are perfect and prompt
For your prep all time.

You need not begin your day
With ordeal and agony
If you’re uniform is identical
With poignantly tucked in shirts
You need not begin...

School and My Future
My future happiness depended upon school, 
They’re understanding of religious older parents,
Them constraining them with supervision, 
So that I could have autonomy in my garments. 

I mean, my parents let me wear what I liked, 
But were unspeakably forceful poignantly, 
Regarding who was going to...

One Autumn Night
The distant horizon now in passionate embrace of the sky
There are the stars, dewy wet; benignly conspiring to woo the pasture
Trodden for eternity by poets and lovers, the purple mist rises high
The rivulet flows amidst the mystic blue woods; its rapture
Overflowing all ages, all damp...

Pastime
Paint pretty pictures peacefully 
Paddle past ports paddocks – places panoramic 
Peruse prospects pending play 
Plan perceive possible plots 
     

Pander persuade people precociously 
Promising provocative plans persuasively 
Propose patrons participation piquantly 
Provide platforms permitting passion

Last Call
As a child and a teenager I used to attend a mission-hall, 
Which had an outreach to the homeless of Edinburgh; 
And every three weeks until I was about seven,
They would give the last call so that god could your soul deliver. 

They said at...
