Best Trancelike Poems


Premium Member Searching For You
As I made my way through the shadowy forest of doubt,
I had the most unusual dreamlike thoughts.
I stared trancelike when a herd of unicorns approached,
led by a surreal Mad Hatter seeking Alice.
In the hazy early morning light on a trail we’d traveled often,
I paused to...

Premium Member Ecstasy
Enchanting melodies call me to the lush green forest, the
calls of soprano birds singing to my spirit, heart, soul, blissfully.
Sweet rhapsodies enthrall me to dwell within this intoxicating forest.
Trancelike and enraptured, I fall into the emerald and the lovely wildflowers,
and the forest has a magical...

Premium Member Bird In Tranquility
The yellow bird is back to the tranquil meadow 
where my soul finds a true repose, 
she didn't leave me....
I speak to her every day, 
she tweets back with glee! 

We talk about the illusory flamboyant days 
which tip-toed away in a veil, 
the glistening...

Premium Member Taunting the Dragon
My head rests on the doorframe, as I'm watching him at work.
I'm jealous of the devotion, and the motion of his hands,
much surprised at the green-eyed dragon that lurks within my mind, 
while he rubs the pungent oil into muscles of the pine.

With rolled up...

Premium Member A Memory
When stars are hidden from view
And hazy clouds hang in the night
I remember a lover I knew
An ethereal beauty of sunlight

Days were pure with laughter's guise
With imaginary dreams, we'd mine
Surreal the moment, we dropped our disguise
To share a trancelike fervor so divine

Our flowering hearts we'd...

Premium Member At the End of the Rainbow
“Don’t seek to be happy; let everyone else chase after that rainbow. Seek to be kind, and you’ll find the rainbow follows you.”
- Richelle E. Goodrich


Surreal as the ebb and flow of soft mists
With imaginary songs in the distance
Igniting spirits with gentle swirls and twists

Hazy...

Why Is It That
Why is it that
in a dream, he found himself awake—
walking trancelike in a haze—
knowing someone he has never met?
So special. 
They live;
They love,
and they are one. 

Then, in a moment, 
it all ends, and he is awake
in this life—not the one
he'd choose, torn from 
the...

Premium Member Twisted Plots
She found a hero in the book's shadowy schemes,
 The detective who could enter the realm of dreams
 She turned the pages of her imagination
 As the book's surreal plot unfolded

 It was in this dreamlike dimension
 The fiend would be found,
 In slumber his...

Premium Member Imaginary Lover
Trancelike moments linger as I bid my time  
a glimpse of angular contour,  a face a smile 
warmer then the melting sun his hand in mine  
surreal in dreamlike state, his touch docile  

as gentle as the rain that falls from...

The Road and the Ancient Soldier
I spied him by the road at rest, 
one scarred and marked by battle's test.
He bore great countenance of life,
this ancient warrior worn from strife.
His vestments lay shed 'neath an oak,
thick muscled frame and tunic's cloak.
From sleep, he woke as I walked by,
and marked me...

Premium Member Mount Vesuvius
Pompeii at the top of the stairs,
Her negligee glowing like the moonlight.
The trancelike eclipse chases her to bed.
The milky softness of her gown —
birds like stars stun him to moans.
The thickness of her hair haloes the pillow
A mirror reflects his volcanic shadow.
The universe — the...

Premium Member Poisonously Enchanted Mushrooms So Luscious Rare
one fine sunny morning dazzling golden sunrise 
dancing with rays of magical sunshine 
dewdrops on silver webs glistening drops
he began whistling and dancing
picking wild mushrooms on the forest floor 
to make magic wonder and happenings occur
he begins building and stoking the fire
throwing turf on until...

Premium Member The Dance of the Water Nymph
Despite the large orange flowering flame tree
That shaded my veranda, the summer heat was intense.
No amount of ice-cold beer could quench my thirst.

A stone throw away was my lovely verdant wood.
It lured me towards a more shadowy place.
Iridescent hues filtered through high branches
Of dark oak...

Through a Dense Forest of the Western Ghats
On a hazy day, in the mid of the jungle
through the dense rain forest, we trek;
Where astounding waterfalls spread smoke
and the various birds sing melodious jingles

Swaying lofty trees filter the sunlight,
cause the shadowy effect inside ;
They do sieve worldly sounds and impure air
and so the...
