Egressing Poems | Examples


Premium MemberHaunted By a Long Lost Love

Two silhouettes in the moonlight haunted by a memory 
embers of a night's cajole and stokes of freedom fire 
gilded leaves of Autumn sigh and whoosh a lonesome cry 

Two lovers haunted by a long lost love that once was theirs  
are standing on a wishing cloud - one up and one below 
he's aching for an angel's kiss with eyes of reminisce ; 

Egressing fast towards the pyre the sparrows join her flight 
while on a passing cloud their floats a dream that is no more 
he's asking her to dance again - inside his empty arms  

But all he hears is the soft song of a Summer Breeze 
and an angel's haunting voice that brings him to his knees 
as the gilded leaves of Autumn fly a whoosh a nigh n' nigh 

Two silhouettes in the moonlight dancing cheek to cheek 
one is visible one is not , with spectre light laid bare 
he tucks her in his heart for she feels small and light as air

Egressing fast towards the pyre he narrows up the lane 
she's living in God's humble lair and he on earthly plane
emergence of the spirit kind  -  truest love  unchained   .

End of the Storm

For days we were assaulted
By vicious sleet and snow
It brought life to a standstill
Many were in survival mode

Records show, it had been decades
Since such fury we had known
Just more reason to be complacent
And show how careless we had grown

Then one morning, an open curtain
Revealed bright sunlight and calm wind
There, a sigh of relief was instilled
The turbulent storm was near it's end

To me, it's a perfect metaphor
Of our sojourn in life
At times we glide on mountaintops
Then dark valleys bring pain and strife

Often after egressing from a storm
We appreciate the sunlight more
It can help us align priorities
And bring reality to the door

Though life is short, it can be sweet
If we keep the beacon light in view
By His guidance we can emerge
Into a day, - with a brighter hue

My mind is anchored on the fact
Ahead, - is a plateau calm and warm
In Heaven, there'll be eternal bliss
Truly that will be, the "end of the storm"
