Best Swirls Poems


Premium Member Swirls of Gold Filigree

A pale, ghostly moon rises
at night when the day is done.
And orange and tangerine
get bled from a crimson sun.

Space is draped in black velvet,
pinned with galaxies of light.
And swirls of gold filigree
confetti the dark of night.

Twirling pulsars and quasars
provide rhythm, spinning in place.
And in this cosmic ballet,
gravity maintains the pace.

Mars ascends in shades of red;
evoking passion and praise.
Securing Her rightful place;
Venus appears through the haze.

And shooting stars fizzle out
within the blink of an eye.
For the kingdom of magic
is as near as the night sky.

Slate Sea Swirls

Slate sea swirls
a breath of air.
Quiet illusion
not so rare.

Electric charge
hair stands straight.
My heart and pulse
palpitate.

Kayak rocks
though not a storm.
A silent ship
elliptic form.

Hovers right above
my scalp.
Terror froze
my call for help.

Paddle slips
beneath the boat.
Nothing left
to help me float.

Horror now
my only friend.
How can this fate
be my end?

Shoreline seems
a million miles.
Solitude and peace
just smile.

Entity
envelopes me.
Light departs
dank darkness breathes...

Piercing screel 
hurts my brain.
Shuddering
fowl vomit rains.

Heat tears through
my lower limbs.
Blood pools 'round
fills to the rim.

Consciousness
falls through my knees.
Wracked with pain
I cannot breathe.

Snare begins 
to tighten round
both my wrists
without a sound.

Now is gone
the fight for life.
Only love
keeps shining bright.

Body broken
heart has stopped.
Mother's voice
A lollipop.

Sweet bird song
now fills the air.
Smell of roses
everywhere.

Friends surround
my smiling face.
Be on guard,
oh human race !

                                                  Organdy swirls
                                       Iridescent layers like pearls
                                      Cascading layers covers face
                                         As dancer fluidly encase
                                                  Organdy swirls

Amidst Swirls Of Twinkling Stars, Love Yet Flies

Above the soft gasps of night craving skies.
Amidst swirls of twinkling stars, love yet flies.

Outward, and onward through silence of marching time
Away from earth and ticking of clock's midnight chime
In veiled galaxies, hidden from mortals' view
Lie love' gems glistening as if morn' rose in dew
Memories and treasure in vaults lined with gold
Rarely seen except by those lovesick and so bold
As to dare voyage beyond earthen life and sad state
Fleeing worldly kingdom of death and seething hate.

Above the soft gasps of night craving skies.
Amidst swirls of twinkling stars, love yet flies.

There the dark worries of life are taken away
Admission is precious hope of that future day
When those departed unite in heavenly bliss
With prayed reunion of touch and eager kiss
Together in dreams and longed for paradise
Brief the dear moment but for now such will suffice
And hold each other until coming of dawn's glow
With wedded love just as pure as fresh falling snow.

Above the soft gasps of night craving skies.
Amidst swirls of twinkling stars, love yet flies.

Premium Member The Ivy Swirls

No soul remains to tend their rest
    Between two names, the ivy swirls
     So long ago, a love was blessed
    No soul remains to tend their rest
  Long centuries have greenly dressed
 Forgotten smiles and whispered pearls
    No soul remains to tend their rest
    Between two names, the ivy swirls

Blueberry vanilla swirls,
slow-changing in the transient breeze
and tidal flow and ofttimes
capricious light. A citrus topping
sparkles after rain, with
jujubes of humanity clinging to their place
within a mesmerising kaleidoscope 
of sumptuous sweetest fantasy.

The snowflakes of spring,
Aroma arouses life,
Cherry blossom swirls.

Angry ,political winds do swirl.
Lies like vicious leaves, caught in the trees.
Stop!

We all hunger for a beautiful Spring,
Of love, freshness, truth and integrity.
Start!

Premium Member A Poesy of Rhythmic Swirls

There are some people I’ve not met
Yet think of them without regret
as they have left a mark on me
with distant words they let go free

to thrash about the atmosphere
come close enough for me to hear
the tone of hope the angst of fear
the silence of a long-dried tear

a wind that tickles funny bones
catastrophes with ice cream cones
of kith and kin of now and then
of dancing on life’s ice so thin

we meet in passing every day
as unseen breezes they can’t stay
yet touch the edges of our worlds
with a poesy of rhythmic swirls

Swirls

Thoughts like calligraphy 
Seemingly effortless
Natural flow and flair
The smell of autumn leaves
Visable laughter from your mouth
Wisps of calligraphy 
We both knew 
Did I turn you into this 
Or did you turn me
Not enough silence to let me forget
For years  
Bringing back the leaves
That crisp air
But the warmth between us
is it all gone
Or am I just to forget 
Maybe I just chose not to notice
The iciness 
The leaves were rotting after all

Lemon Swirls

Lemon swirls in dusty skies 
eyes that chase the sunny 
twirls. 

Tails that travel the skies 
smooth streams of shimmer 
blues and puffed white hues. 

I could catch a tail 
and whirl along so free 
in the free flight of 
the lemon swirls. 

A day in the skies on 
the tips of the beams 
of lemon swirls way up 
high... 

Just enjoying the day!

Swirls Centered and Settled

Would you there strongest tie not your knot
To That which the feeble me fakes not?
To that which the frightened me fears not?
To the sunken souls of the sadist me not?
And on ultimatum live in deceptions of desires,
Drained and dusted by winds long gone.

Would you there at best convince me again,
To the then lost, the love and in vain maintain,
To the then rumours, the winds gone and in it claim,
That for which the hearts heavy find happiness pure,
And on the ultimatum live in receptions of longing,
Dipped and dusted in fines of golden gestures.

Won't you for which I write, read and comprehend,
The codings, the wordings whirled and undefined,
That for which I shall presume to have embodied,
All my give-aways, the swirls centered and settled.

Premium Member The Dancer Swirls

Dancing with vigour the dancer swirls
Sweat glistening, passions inside rose
Catching shadows as within skirt furls 
Around my heart as locks you impose

Sweat glistening, passions inside rose
Fixation befalls, this beleaguered soul  
Around my heart as locks you impose
I glimpse your eyes, of blackened coal

Fixation befalls; this beleaguered soul  
As within me; the heart that you stole
I glimpse your eyes, of blackened coal 
My heart collapses, as it seeks its goal 

As within me; the heart that you stole
Spirits raging, within your heated eyes
My heart collapses; as it seeks its goal
Beguiling me, with all of your false lies 

Spirits raging, within your heated eyes
Never to be free until the fire subsides 
Beguiling me; with all of your false lies
Atoms split; as our souls make divides

Never to be free until the fire subsides
Catching shadows; within clothes furls 
Atoms split; as our souls make divides
Dancing with vigour, the dancer swirls
