Best Prophetic Poems

In twilight slumber
Naked truths revealed
What you learn of you
Flows across the screen
Dreamer must pay heed.

Life’s message comes
Symbolic cloaked
Characters pose
The way unfolds.

Dreamscape brings
Future scenes
Prophecy

Be brave
Look close

Know....

sinkholes

 suddenly slam 

 earth asunder


 do you hear the thunder?

 the rains are coming

 can you sense it in the air?

  
 Chaos everywhere...

 mountains falling

 streams heaving

 rooftops caving

  
 everyone shaving

 parts of themselves clean

 scoured and plastic

 bereft of...

No one seemed to take much note at first.
Old-timers on park benches passed a comment or two,
Somebody wrote a letter to the local rag,
but no one (who mattered, that is)
really seemed to mind.
Of course, you will always have 
your bellyachers and woolly romantics 
with nothing...

PROPHETIC DREAM – JOURNAL IX

On the outskirts, 
Framed on either side
By a farm house      a barn
I discovered this winding path

It is early autumn
The trees about the house
Are full of lingering gold
Various harvest implements are seen
A silo rises in the foreground
With...

I woke up today and gave my life a reflection 
The problem, the sorrows
The failure that follows 
Each day feeling my hopes are empty 
Feeling ashamed and guilty 
When I see my results crumpled and dirty

My grades never had A's
Like it had been immune with...

If in dreams prophets wield prophetic power,
     then prophetic power have I; for I dream
     of things to come, and of acts too extreme:
the saint, the liar (in the cave's dark bower);

the flying rug, the ivory-tower

Whispered messages heard only in your mind
do not mean you have received heavenly advice
If you were to have yourself examined you'd find
mental instability to be a descriptor most concise...

To be. To feel.
To feel, to love,
To love. To rage,
To rage, to die
Like a good Romantic, or to sleep like this,
Ghosting about
Like a loose plastic bag
That flaps on a windy night
Under a sodium street lamp’s
Eerie all-submerging light.
O Shakespeare, pity us,
O Wilkes, O Pope,
O Voltaire, O...

American broadcasts carry details
emerging from government hints
indicating journalists kindly “leaked” major news
of presidential quote reputedly saying,
“Trump’s ultimate victors were xenophobic young zealots.”...

Galaxy of Crystal

Reader of star stories – far flung destinies
Enclosed within a midnight crystal dome
Filled with flecks of leftover stardust
Cosmic plane of star-crossed constellations
And dust storms of the lost transcendent light -
Clearly sees through falling astral luminaries
And hopes tossed up for the first twilight star;
A...

if a tree should fall and there is no one to hear it 
not even the merest susurrus for a poet to capture the moment 
the encomium will cease
	
with each slight 
each rejection of the light 
and acknowledgement withheld 
the all encompassing existence of all...

In the Tale of Marah Abbadon
Whose bitter spirit is long gone,
Her mother was a jaded Jezebel,
Who cast out Marah wishing her in Hell.
In life she wandered bare terrane
Plagued by pestilence and murrain.
She dwelt in caves and holes in the ground,
The warmest homes she ever found.
Nothing...

Dead by Morning II
(Dead by Morning, 3/13/20 explained what will happen.  This is the followup.)

I’m no prophet…
  I just pay attention…
    so cough it…

What say you? Ah choo? Who?
   The masks didn't, the way they say, work, smirk....

Deep inside where shadows lounge
True love was lost no magic found
That fleeting thought run now it's not too late
Never fathoming his deceptions so great

The magic once encompassing both
not knowing how far afield he'd go
One content with passions flash
The other forever chasing **ASS**

Both now knowing somethings...
