Closely Poems - Poems about Closely

Listen closely, for the eternal silence spreads like a dense fog over the world

Listen closely, for the eternal silence spreads like a dense fog over the world,
a profound quiet that penetrates the temples of the soul and the forests of thought,
a wave of calm that flows through the rivers of time and the valleys of our dreams,
for this world is a tapestry of illusions and hidden truths, an

Look Closely

Look at me
At my green eyes and my blonde hair
I'm beautiful
Aren't I?

Look closer
Look at my face
Revolutionised to your likings
To your expectations

You like blue
So I sealed my green eyes away in a case file
A homicide that will never be solved
A cold case you will forget about
But will always linger on my mind like brain freeze

You like

Look Closely

Nobody will see her true face,
one she hides in disgrace.
Even if you look closely,
she is deceptive poetry.
Her innocent smile
is not her preferred style,
with secrets behind her eyes,
concealing traumatic cries.
Wallowing in self pity,
a lion pretending to be a kitty.
It will be a fatal mistake,
to fall for a beauty so fake.
For the monsters in her head,
reminisce the

Look Closely

Submerged in his fanciful palette of 
        feigned perfection his fetid smile 
        suffused through the cold laps of the 
        sun. A lantern of ruffled acquiescence,

Look Closely

Black silk top hat
Upon greasy hair sat

White gloved, quick hands
Graceful gestures, gestures grand

Speaks nonsense but mostly, 
"Watch me now,  look closely!"

Sly smile, glint in eye
"You sucker", they imply

Swift movements over here
Draw my eyes, my gaze steer

Magic moving fast and ghostly
He continues to croon, "look closely"

The ears hear but not the eyes
"Look closely", magic

Praying

It was just yesterday,
his love was a quiet smile,
embracing the faith, the sigh,
like a heart who can see,
past the ugly in me,
through the expanse of shadows,
pouring over my naked palms,
awakening dreams in a heart,
who is silent, 
yet unburdened of doubts,
when will he see…

beneath the worries, the fears,
beyond the softest tears,
where there is a flow, liquid

“If you look closely you can see that they are all interconnected, symbolic of a never-ending circle in which it is simply impossible for the dog to catch the rabbit.” — Kit Williams

"Double Rictameter"

                           look close
    at what God has 
           created for humans
  

Look Closely

Look closely,  feel the harmless heat 
enveloping black-diamond 
         petals in the glistening
            garden of glossy geraniums.
There, sprouts rosemary dreams
           from an untouched silhouette,
 

look closely

rabbits in tall grass 
ducks ducking underwater 
deer along tree line

squirrels running up tree 
naughty cats in hiding spots 
I know where to look

Look Closely

I took the short path,
as many do to get to the beach.
Loving the beach with it's white sand,
a great summertime place for all ages.
I could not wait to see the lovely view,
the early morning blue shimmering water.
Look closely,
the cool clear water is licking my feet.
Is it saying,
glad to see you back to play.
The bright yellow

LOOK CLOSELY

Hope-filled, look closely through faith’s eye
To behold God’s glory and grace
Magnificent as you draw nigh
Pursuing as champ in life’s race. 

Focusing on eternal bliss
Hope-filled, look closely through faith’s eye
So that what’s vital you won’t miss---
Claiming divine prize, soaring high.

Break free from deceit, don’t deny
While illumined with truth so clear…
Hope-filled, look closely through faith’s eye
Precious virtues

Don't Look Closely

Ottava Rima & ABC. Sadly, due its lack of artistic values and matching verbiage that would have met with an arguable challenge, hail an NFC poem--you see, as I found the bite in this baby to be all gums.

Look closely

Do we not wake up each morn,
refreshed, energised, reborn,
magnetism suffusing form,
touch tender, loving and warm?

Sans thought, soul presence in heart,
feels therein love’s bliss hum start,
divine refrain, free from strain,
boons bestowed, which we ingrain.

Though we’re awake, senses rest
and as nodes jostle in jest,
the sound of one hand clapping
is heard, while we are napping.
