Best Symbolic Poems

we suffer the symbols
and darts of self offence
and tout them around
to prove the right or wrong
of some weak or strong
circumstance position...
signs and symbols
just intellectual thimbles
for pushing a point home
to sew and to weave
ideas together
every night
into a bedspread
of token dreams...
i put all that aside
and go to...

my symbolic house
my purple castle
invaded by red clowns
a dialogue
contradicting personal icons
denying synthesis
denying art
trespassing
poaching
unbalancing decentring crucifiers
tearing the paper they make of my mind
tearing tissue
cells sinew flesh blood
a pavlov’s laboratory
for a crowd
appropriation
depersonalisation
obliteration
constructs and betrayals ad infinitum
a teleological structuralism
for others

A dreamt came at dawn
Tiny dragon spoke wisdom
Dog ingest its might.

Suddenly vomits
Everything swallowed goes out
Dragon turned piglets....

Prufrock’s Symbolic World
 
Metaphors-Extraordinaire
Thomas Stearns Eliot
Metaphysical consciousness
Aura of aging and decay.

Streams of consciousness forever
Proto-disillusionment
The mermaids singing each to each
The mermaids will not sing today.

( A Shakespearean Soonet - with 14 syllables- rhyming abab,cdcd,efef,gg)

My balcony was covered by a huge sycamore tree,    
My constant companion during the snowy Maple days, 
Memories come as insects around a flowering tree     
Turning my gloomy days...

For “EARTH HOUR” we pledged  without words rearranging,
Let us try and attempt to stop things from changing
Am doing my bit as promised to myself and me,
wrote a poem on “earth hour”, published it and mailed it for reasons to see.
and  walked around to...

Along Iran's alluvial fan, 
spanned a virgin, untested 
train
A scourging blight the tender, 
fecund suckers did restrain
A heartier tulip bloomed on 
Tunisia's arid plain
A docile wave the royal 
Jasmine blight to stain  
Transplanted in Egypt; a more 
fertile strain
Leaching the arid soil, the 
tyrannical oasis...

Colours are bright,
colors are beautiful
yet out of all colors
my favorite is red
red yields life
and life is beautiful,
red symobolises my strength,
my being to pursue,suceed and overcome
the dangers now and ahead.

Red the color that adorns
adorns me inside and outside,
the color of blood,
the life within of me,
the energy...

Who may rise?
Who may fall?
If Love is power unto itself,
It therefore must be
A force that binds
Builds, and 
Answers every begging 
Question of the Soul.

Of men
It beckons the heart
To yearn for the unknown
Knocking at every door
To see the unseen
Seeking metaphysical
Truth
The One formula
To every equation
Equaliser of Life.

slithering world serpent through the ocean of air
impunity by nature , to understand thee thy dare
infiltrate , dominate , conversions at will
wooing the masses , lies , poisonous they spill
masters of craft , art , they have built
architects of time , vaults filled at their...

We mustn't look to define
truth....in mere words of any language

Fore,we can truly,only find it
from the mirrored expressions of the heart

But...if we must,in need of description
allow that one word...truth...be....love.......

Blackened cubes of naturality stomache across the pains of a million screaming faces
Crushed by the weight of two ton pound horsehell and drowned in the unthoughtfulness of the moon's cruel disregard towards the emotions of the ground-up grime of the Earth.
Her circular orbit brings punishment...

Forlorn Love – A Red Rose Dead

Love oft finds its symbolic meaning in
the beauty and grandeur of the red rose.

This symbolic meaning reflects as well
the true meaning of love shared by two.

The magic and real passion of love itself
forms the chemistry that bonds two lovers.

The...
