Eclipse Poems

Blood Moon captivates sky-gazers around the world

I timed my departure to coincide with the
lunar eclipse, but the
eastern horizon wasn't apparent,
in the park, or at the top of the road
my local high points

I scanned the firmament along, with
other rando hopefuls but there was
no show to see so
onwards and upwards we went
as wine of a deep red hue
wasn't going to
buy or drink itself

Old Sins Cast Long Shadows

As the Moon rises in the east
barely showing its face above the horizon
the Penumbral Eclipse takes form
heralding the full weight of the time
a new Shadow was about to be cast over me.
Dark has cloaked my deeds up until now.
The Blood Moon enchants with its splendour
and ultimately the reflected light from the Sun 
is embraced by

November 8 and Eclipse

my elegy-
my muse covered in death
my wistful cry for help
innocence in her eyes
her last words and hug with a embracing smile

promises made and promises fade
8th of november, when moon turned red
the curse would lift but my roses turned black
the great eclipse returned and claimed another laugh
death of me inside
my lover absquatulated me by that time

Solar Eclipse Brokenness

Solar Eclipse Brokenness


The moon covers the sun’s bright lights
And brings a total darkness in our sights
Fades out the figure of fake possessions
Cuts out the string of short time connections

It brings cold feeling and gloomy emotion
Suddenly makes a person stuck in motion
The beats of the heart skips for a while
Not longing for love, the heart is

In an eclipse of time

As absorbed in the ember
A scape 
Bill in towers crashing
Ledges shelter
Hatred in angst and ignorance 
The feign of time
A contemplation to end
Resume history 
Well and fear my quill?
Was suffering the necessity?
Time was not 
Only in the morrows mourns
Heft of pen
Empty gadgets 
Science finished
The subject closed

Fide et amore

Eclipse

In the shadow of an eclipse, where worry takes its flight,  
The burden of strife can weigh you down,  
Yet in each moment of pain, in the depths of sorrow’s night,  
A spark of sunshine glimmers, a whispering sound.  

When loss feels like a mountain, an insurmountable wall,  
And anguish

Sunsmith struck with a mallet lit by light
Blows hump the sky ablaze by molten might—
a yellow nepenthe for summer's shame!

Eclipse Ritual

"Eclipse Ritual"

Beneath the lunar scowl, they gather—
figures draped in shadow’s breath.
A serpentine chant curls through the pines,
a hymn to summon sleep and death.

The flames burn cold, phosphorous white,
in bowls of bone and rusted gold.
Their whispers slither through the void,
retelling truths too dark to hold.

A cascade of ash rains from the trees,
as something stirs beneath the

The Eclipse of Two

Besotted, ensnared and diverged thy pupil
Dilate the ache 'pon holy gate
Sewn son to sun of love'n marred and married gait
Palpate the touch o'titular chance
Kiss'd and carresed thy senile smile
Tipped'n tallied bashful sway, to fall
Away, and away, eyes to 'ssemble 
And resemble the semblance of valour and holy hour
Mine to my own, to pitiful ponder
Shone Sun

Lunar Eclipse

The moon would be a dull, gray rock without the Sun's light. 
An opinion would be a thought without one's voice. 
A man would be useless without a purpose.
So, all the men that stand before me are nothing, 
as they brandish their swords;
squeezing the hilt like my throat, 
constricting the words from it before they're

Eclipsed In Light

"Eclipsed in Light"


The sun grew dim the world stood still  
Golden waves bent to our will  
The sky was veiled in shadow’s grace  
As fate had led us to this place  

With whispered vows and steady hands  
No crowns no thrones no golden bands  
Just fire wind the endless

Possibilities

God or the angels must be having their way today
For there is a large happy white smile in the sky
It was a cloudy gloomy doomy day until now
I stare at the smile, wondering what it reflects
Will eyes and a nose appear? I watch as it slowly dissipates
My imagination thrilled with the possibilities of what it
