Best Samsara Poems


Premium Member The Skeletons and Songs of Samsara - 1
The skeletons and songs of samsara eternal
fleshed, fattened and flamed in karmic harmony,
your heart begins to beat in dark plethora roll
an in utero thunder thumps godly
as the warmest water touchable enshrouds,
you haven't yet forgotten the sojourn
from whence the soul rests it's debts and doubts
upon web...

"Samsara in the 5th"



The phenomenal world
is illusory, it calls for 
nothing of substance
romance is laid out
legs and hearts spread
open like a catalogue 
touched through the 
remittance of words
clicking like 
manolo blahniks
across a warm keyboard
cool slender fingers become
long legs that wrap around 
a mind the other...

In the heart where your naivety resides
you wonder what haunts the sun
and why pain enjoys your childhood eyes,
when you see warm blood run
then you know that death can color
and like you, death loves a dramatic picture,
however, death doesn't dull the future
for a youngster hyper to...

Samsara
Endless, pointless 
Boring, joying, funny 
All beings struggling to escape from this realm

Samsara
Why must all things suffer so
Oh how I would like to know
Why are we given life
Only to suffer hunger thirst and strife
Fairness is a thing of fiction
Given greed corruption affliction
We are not created equal
Some are victims some are lethal
Some require everything
Some settle for anything
Luxury enjoyed...

In the vigor of day no cloud, in night's creep thought so loud
the body of your birth shock animated, 
where nothing lies or dies 
and the only law that can catch you is hesitance
in the heart where your naivety resides
intuition's arithmetic equals defiance
you know that...

What a Buddhist Knows - Samsara Revisited
I am not a Buddhist
But a friend of mine you see
Is a student of the Dharma
And passes on to me
The wisdom of the ages
To help me understand
That though there is suffering
There’s also goodness in the land

Suffering the product of envy pride and greed
Subject to Karmic...

Oh, the sunlight heals my soul, right
here in the middle of May.
Fairness and sanity require that
you report a perfect day.

Sunday afternoon, mountain high clouds in the blue,
and a single engine plane somewhere up there
to remind you of earlier days that you once knew.
A question arises...

Samsara
Clawed clouds descend upon us!
Like Adam so Eve.
Naked we wait…
What gods we are?

As for creation, we End.
In his image, we conceive.
Forests of masonry stand tall,
Chariots of death we ride,

What gods we are?
From the wells of Hell, we drink.
As the elixir of life sings…
Like muezzins leading...

Turning and Tumbling: the Glooming Samsara
Hi all, 

A while back, I published a long epic free verse poem about the Samsara. I originally wished to publish it on Poetrysoup, but as I had a specific font and overlapping picture design in mind, it was not possible. Thus, if anyone wishes...

No matter what you do in samsara 
in the effort to improve samsara, 
improve yourself, improve others, 
it’s still samsara.

All effort, all improvement, never leaves the wheel, 
but that doesn’t mean there’s only the wheel. 

The wheel is what spins, ever-changing,
the embodiment of impermanence, 
but...
