Best Skull Poems

Our voyage begins holding each other 
slowly captivating space filled magic begins 
warmly with glory be sings under spells

Grace is blessed always 
with deep warm joy kissing beats 
the true love inside fails to die

A hunter's moon smiles in the Heaven's 
under the cradle of...

Give into pure thought, I'll entice you a spell,
Extracted from fear, fear my own hell.
The trees, they fall, the air, it drowns,
From beasts of skin, these earth-dwelling clowns.
Stuck in my mind,
Thoughts confined,
Of a life lived purely; a being redefined.
So I slip on my thought cap,
A...

Skeletal treetops rake a Wagnerian sky.
like fingertips, chasing Valkyrie’s,
through cirrus clouds;
conducting the winter wind,
across the cerulean blue tarp
of early evening.

Bare beds, a mass of fallen leafs, shiver;
above bulbs of tulips and daffodils
which rest like skulls in a grave.

The sullen light of late December dusk,
pierces the...

ON LOOKING AT SCHILLER’S SKULL
by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Here in this charnel-house full of bleaching bones,
like yesteryear’s
fading souvenirs,
I see the skulls arranged in strange ordered rows.

Who knows whose owners might have beheaded peers,
packed tightly here
despite once repellent hate?
Here weaponless, they...

The cold blue waves move gently with the surf
The azure ocean is deep like the soul
The wind murmurs above the ocean
Whistling in gaps of granite rocks it causes commotion

Further north green sea waves
Are in insipid correlation with expressive blue
Of a nearby glacier
But here water is...

Here is he stuck, within an icy skull.
His cooling core yearns for the warmth of sun.
He sits and sees the snowflakes blend and dull
The rocky walls that trap the frozen one.
Does he succumb to numbing apathy,
Or fight winter, a battle for the daft?
December flowers wilt...

His eyes were totally devoid of empathy.
No one has eyes as vast as all humanity.
I've been living in denial that he's the Red Skull.
Rebuking that my vexing foe has lived but is dull

From a plane stuck on the Arctic ice during WWII.
Schmidt was the Red...

The sleeping lambs nestled in the
Silver bullet,
Hot from the gun.
They slumber through the sketches
Of Spain until finally
The veil of moisture meets plum lipstick
And it’s time to depart;
Time for the slaughterhouse.
They scurry out from their earthy tomb
And venture to what’s beyond the gun’s chamber
And easy womb.
Beady...

The skeleton waits
Left some time by a killer
Rotting and decayed
Crying loudly as a ghost
Who will avenge my murder?...

The night comes down heavily upon the skull
In every fancies of wired images:
Lady Macbeth's dagger or Old Hamlet's ghost;
Or in my own term - ripped off from the organic herbs.

Yes, it came to be, a being 
With conviction and character 
Of a hullabaloo, buried in...

Here you lie
On a base
An eternity on 
a pillow case

The bringer of joy
and love to all
The start of a holiday 
In love we shall fall

How did you become the man
known as Valentine
Start a holiday
That would spur 
quite a time

A mere a skull 
stuck in a...

Captain America also known as Steve Roger,
Fought numerous battles as the first Avenger.
Once he was a tiny little boy,
Who had a big heart and strong will to bring justice and joy.
Soon he was given the super serum,
And became the symbol of heroism.

Once he was frozen...
