Best Serendipity Poems

August wind, glass moon,serendipity...
two chairs gazing at each other in tender flow.
Hundred miles away, clouds gather
to fondle the opening and closing
of after- midnight refrains,
both trespassing a continental divide
to awaken upon scrolls of ramblings
united by the sorcery of mystic spaces
between humid lenses.

On such lit evenings, I...

had I woken with that headache 
then I would have stayed in bed
but because I felt much better
I got up for work instead.

had I got there any later
then it would have been my loss
as I would have missed arriving 
at the same time as my...

Revealed in that ancient place
where roses become stone and lips dry as dead bone,
the ruins of love my home, hopeless heart shown damp as sorrow known,
rubble etched with tears of deceased romance, a barren face,
my hourglass of power tilted by a hand rough as sand,
body...

It matters not the timing of a day,
An absent mind that meets a busy street.

The driver of a bus who turns away
To better hear a joke behind his seat.

An accident, no planning to discern.
A curve of fate, be random or your turn

Even the strongest of ice
Can crack and shatter
It’s only as strong
As the frozen matter

Water exists rigid
Porous and slippery
In great formation
With serendipity

The ice forms on branches
Where it comes and cracks
Bending the limbs down
Making them cling with tracks

A wall is formed
Right before my eyes
Whatever water does
Frozen ice...

In my head you're totally gone
I live my life like a black swan
Decade passed  by
Still you're like disappearing pie..

Lucky enough to hear from you again
Hearing,telling stories like grain
I can feel something within
which very hard to explain.

My bags are packed
Unexplainable feeling attacked
I pray  and...

And there it was
in all its glory…

Magical
glowing
in endless motion
graciously
lazily
putting on a show
just for me
content with my admiration
drawing me in
enchanting
in sync with my soul
communicating
somehow
a message of
love and peace
of harmony
entranced
time magically
standing still

Two souls came together
And two hearts wept with joy
Prepared now, primed
Destined in time
Neither heart knew nor head
What magical moments lay ahead?

Who knew that the sun shone so bright?
Who knew and saw the colour of the sky?
Who knew the true scent of a rose?
Who knew the...

SERENDIPITY

commercialized like dippity-do
— the extra hold hair gel.

sounds like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious*
so fresh; and clean —
a nonsense word used
when you have nothing else to say.

and let’s not forget serenity now**
yelled uncontrollably
when you need to calm down.

one more, s’il vous plaîs:***
serene, dip, dippity-doo-da-yay!

Normality is what I seek  but the
world revolves in its sans-serendipity. 
So many extra days thrown in, you see
the world on its own course, no one takes pity.

I enter boredom in another world.
I’m not in control of anything real.
But the the dog warms up...

Serendipity

God’s hand, like a muse of the serendipity,
Makes His presence self-evident
In marvels colliding
When happy chances of happenstance
Tango with moments of pure whimsy –
Living epiphanies’ lifeblood 
In generosity flowing, spilling over, 
With revelation’s laughter of surprise
To stumble upon clear eyed condensed coincidence –
The synchronicity of planets...

When my eyes meet your gaze 
The first eon in surprised time, 
Brushing into each other in a cafe 
The earth somehow wakes,
It knows your flesh 
embracing our marrow's warmth 
more encompassing than life's fate 
that my breath stumbles into ticks
of nightfall's irrepressible  lightness.

You...

I go to nature to find my calmness and tranquility,
     To still my mind in the deep green- to repose quietly;
Oh the sylvan birds sing to me from towering trees lovely. 

And in the deep forest I find my restful serenity,
