Ceiling Poems - Poems about Ceiling

The ceiling blinked first—it told me I was looking up too much, time laughed in a corner, counting backwards just to mock me, my shadow packed its bags and left a sticky note: "You're thinking too hard. I need air." The fan above spun secrets, whispering in Morse code, I'm not sure if it cursed me or told me the...

I stared at the ceiling and wondered how the body keeps breathing when the soul gives up, like a ship lost in the sea of silence, rudderless, drifting aimlessly, they told me pain makes you stronger, but it left me numb, like an echo of a heart that has ceased to truly beat in the world. I wore sadness...

It's roots are a foothold To a mainstay stem That shoots arms so strong To hold person and string Rope and note in his bag Dire fully, he scrutinizes it Till he locates a stronger hand Fit to send him to dead-land Throngs are amassed, astounded Officers seek for testaments His loved ones are richly wailing Now he's like a drooping ceiling...

The Glass Ceiling “Woe there sister, where do you think you're going? Turn around, go back, stop, cease, desist! Nothing for you above my see-through barrier.

There are a watch and a phone along with a pair of earrings on the table beside the chair and various items of clothing here and there on the carpet. A couple lies somewhat tangled in the midst of all, looking up and talking about shadows of...

Oh to be laying on a bed Of soft feathery fern To rest my weary head Not much left to learn Except to look at the ceiling There above the world And know that what I'm feeling Has brought my life unfurled Freedom will come back to me Freedom from the pain of life Because for a moment I can see & for a while I'll...

A carpenter for a clean job poised And for a new ceiling I rejoiced. Like soldiers' flag he did ceiling hoist, His eyes of full true confidence moist... A carpenter who knows a good joist upon him you can't a bad one foist, From afar would pick its sad fake smell, Long before his hammer hits the nail. The poised I had his...

Why deep in the night do thoughts mimic the sky Dark unknown sights fraught with cynical eye Things seem burdened and heavy shut not to pry Mourning for morning who levy stars 'fore they die A quiet that echoes sounds downcast and alone The riot of bygones too long past to atone Midst of tosses and throws not last of unknown Searching...
