Best Skyscrapers Poems

I'm spending vacation in my little room
didn't plan it that way
but my loves decided to not work with me
must be the post Xmas blues..
so, I'm living off stocking stuffers.
Designer coffee 
Pistachios and 
a Jupiter sized bag of m&ms. 

This situation is necessary for not. But...

The land of Golden Deserts and Silver Skyscrapers – U.A.E

Vast areas are covered by golden sand,
That runs like liquid through your hand,
The skyscrapers reach into the blue sky,
Waving below to every fascinated passer-by.

The golden dunes stretch for miles around,
The skyscraper’s foundations run aground,
The camels roam...

Did you see her? I guess you didn't.  

Since then, she never went out again. She hid all herself for years inside those tall apartments and buildings. She walked through strap-like hallways and crawled under low surfaced ceilings. She used to be inside since...

We mourn atop skyscrapers
As our forefathers
Mourned amongst baobab trees in Uganda
Because we have been forsaken,
It is judgment day,
And we’re fearful....

A bottle of wine, glasses poured to the brim,
There sat you and I, the lights were all dim.
A pair of hearts speaking louder than it should,
All was still, we didn't escape it even if we could.

It flowed like silk, our thoughts we shared.
Eager to know...

FIERY    SKYSCRAPERS


City is dull as a fired gun
When the sun goes down
Lights not yet  lit, buildings dun :
Sunset’s last gleaming on the town.

Reflection from  buildings follows
The lowering  flaming sun.  Glaring,
He makes gilded castles, mirrors windows
With orange-yellow fiery flaring.

Armor-plated...

On every continent
They rise so tall
So different they are
Some are even small

Their architecture
Delights the eye
Its taken many years for them
To reach our skies

Their contour and shape
Are a horizon of delight
Captured by the sun and the moon
Day or night

Our eyes are our windows
To admire and view
Where...

Architectural 
Giants, our desire to build
Higher than before

Joanne jumps like a deranged jack rabbit, my grandma said.
I have seen her leap over sofas, cars, and a firetruck red.
Her legs are longer than your Dad’s or Uncle Ed.
She hops over skyscrapers, my confused grandma said....

OUR WORDS STACKED AS SKYSCRAPERS

THE world is committed to insanity;
   our words stacked as skyscrapers
 allow ants characters to escape
flooding water
         as drowned bodies float
past the windows of office space.

From way up high I wish you could see
All of God’s beauties surrounding me

Mountain tops covered in dazzling white snow
Sapphire blue clouds reflecting in oceans below
Carefree and gentle the rivers would flow
While animals are grazing happily down low
Colorful patches the flowers they grow

Orchards and trees
Butterflies...

Once there stood a golden field,
Swaying crops, a farmer's yield.
Morning songs of birds took flight,
Beneath the sky so vast and bright.

The village paths, of dust and stone,
Where children laughed and cattle roamed,
Now paved with tar, so smooth and wide,
Where restless cars and buses glide.

The thatched-roof...

GAZING OUT*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gaze out.
Skyscrapers rise,
Silhouettes in the night.
Stars whisper secrets above.
City dreams twinkle and sigh,
Reflections of hopes in glass.
I ponder the lives within,
Each light a story.
Unfolding.
Gaze out.
