Distant Poems - Poems about Distant

A stolen life. A split-second decision. Disorganised thoughts, jumbled— Tangled around an anaesthetised cortex. Clocks mockingly ticking, Ticking down inevitability, As a lone fly buzzes relentlessly around my head. Swatting at it—it returns mere moments later, Pestering, always just out of reach, Festering like a wound reopening, oozing with persistence. As the slant of the harvest moon traverses its way through splinters in the...

“A crimson sky breaks the distant shore” This kaleidoscope of colours I just adore I love to stroll by the ever changing sea At peace with the world, I feel so carefree The sky’s ablaze with scarlet and gold It’s such a glorious sight to behold I’ll stay until the sun sinks down low A cool breeze blows so it’s time...

With an unfamiliar phrase, she reassured me. the fact that clouds are always passing, Additionally, the burden we are currently bearing No difference will be made as the night becomes glassy. We sat there with our legs crossed on the old grass, Using silence as a form of communication. The world slowed down, the atmosphere was pleasant, A little cool and a...

No matter how often you see each other It's important to feel that invisible thread That makes you close to each other Time sometimes washes away these threads But the eagerness to missing one another Is a strong communication that never fades One day somehow you make things right By giving a call on a distance shore A friend is smiling...

I squinted while gazing into the western skies my attention drawn to banks where willows wept. Twilight, a melange of magical moments in my eyes, usually interludes when twilight colors were windswept just before the juncture where daylight slowly faded and the reign between sun and moon were traded. But tonight, "a crimson sky breaks the distant shore." Appearing low across...

[*Hendecasyllable: line of verse containing 11 syllables with stanzas with repeated end words and a five line envoi that concludes the ballade.]* Look as… “a crimson sky breaks the distant shore” Signaling I will see my fair home no more the ship drifts into shadows far from yon shore And soon the sky is dark night, crimson no more The...

I heard a rumor that in a distant land, dragons live, Rivers murmur, accompanying the song of birds in flight, The symphony of nature resonates, untouched by machines, lifted by the wind, The trees are a green that shouts "I am alive!" like open-hearted people, With open hearts and unclosed hands, living without fear. There, nothing is extinct except blind...

She’s awake, though, wide awake, her mind miles away, spinning stories she knows aren’t true, dreams she knows will never come to life. She imagines, with a kind of detached satisfaction, what it would be like to touch someone else. Not him. Never him, but someone else. Maybe the neighbor’s wife, his her...

Perhaps you heard a distant song That mortals cannot sing; Perhaps it made your heartbeat long For such a pretty thing. Perhaps you saw beyond your eyes What dirt and clay can’t form; Perhaps you know what beauty lies Beyond the mortal storm. Why then, pursue it, as you must, One cannot let it go; But gold is not akin to rust, We can but little...

On a sad day, on a bad day, sun was bright I went out for a walk, round the block Everything looked the same in the light Not a single orange vest, no road work Passed the houses and church down the street Then I took a left turn to embankment Passed the linden alley smelling so sweet Up the...

I look up at the night sky, seeing the shining stars. I think of you when I see those stars. I long to hold you, to touch you, to kiss you. I wish to hold your body close to mine, and keep you with me for as long as we live. I wish to see you. I wish to love you, and you love me...

Got stuck on you This feeling never makes me blue You are part of me And you’ll always be Underneath our soul We find love Despite of distant far Yet, never did we feel dole Night falls and dawn breaks These two hearts do still long For the sweet kisses and hugs Forever entwined, our love song The evening is filled up with bunch of stars...

That Distant Space Shadows slide, silent, across the cold church floor As pallid wraiths form in the fast fading breeze Where no human wanders that way anymore. And come to rest by the broken vestry door ...
