Elysian Poems | Examples

Faith

Now you must have God’s insurance
So no more illnesses and pain
You are my everyday occurrence 
You live in the Elysian plain
I dream you standing by the door
Although I’m blinded by the sun
The sunny zigzags on the floor
Form the same patterns outrun
That special day may come if only
We stop to think about it
Too often, as it goes with lonely
But we don’t walk the lonely street
You’ll see me coming through the glow
We didn’t have much time to waste
Some other time we spent before 
In all our evenings, yesterdays
Despite that we have left the planet
Our efforts have not died in vain
We did our best, as if we planned it 
See you, my love, we’ll meet again.

Attired In Elysian Clothes Like Deity

Nocturnal dreams of midnight fantasies 
neon flowers alongside scented lily pads 
Rippling clouds, crossings on the moon 
magnetic fields of bluing yes I see 

Angels flying, flitting, round the globe 
calling over stars to light the path
Magistrates of heaven glorious chants 
soft and mellow pastel like the sea 

Beatific vocals soft as voices of the earth 
enigmatic secrets of a society un-known   
Cooing doves fragrances of evening musk,  
Divine Beings attired in Elysian clothes like Deity.

Elysian Serenade

The moon's hidden serenade is Elysian divine,
The world glows in its ambrosian silver shine
It whispers arcane known solely to the night
A charming melody, an utter amorist delight,
Harmony and heirloom are ariose and enhance,
A kaleidoscope of pink and gray buds advance.

Escaping Elysian Dreams

A single drop of water might be a source of solace.
Since what is unseen is destroyed, allow me to stay.
A magnificent ecstasy fantasy, a dreamlike palace

Dreary midwinter is no match for Elysium malice!
Hiding from prying eyes, a visit under a gloomy sky
A single drop of water might be a source of solace.

With mind two-way mirror, despite how lawless,
Souls glance at each other; let me for a while sway.
A magnificent ecstasy fantasy, a dreamlike palace

We're falling into the abyss, surrounded by darkness.
Yield to the crowds swirling cognitive waters bay.
A single drop of water might be a source of solace.

Come level my solace, lines contain no rare promise
Lazing in wilderness fields, Elysian meadows fly.
A magnificent ecstasy fantasy, a dreamlike palace

Receiving prizes while lying on the desolate display.
Refilling, ripping, and sowing occur after we pray.
A magnificent ecstasy fantasy, a dreamlike palace
A single drop of water might be a source of solace.

An Elysian Field

Within a lush verdant meadow, meanders a lazy river
Where wildflowers bloom beneath the warm breath of the sun
They sway upon a gypsy wind on this early morning in June

Stems of purple heather rise above the carpeted earth, 
Emerald green as any Irish hillside or garden near the shore
Their saccharine scented plumes attract the pollen seekers

Bursts of color can be seen in shades of scarlet and white
For growing on the river's bank is a plethora of anemone
Not the variety that resides in the depths of a sea

Yellow iris mingle with daisies in this alfresco arboretum
Untouched by the hand of man, it's an immaculate bouquet
Resplendent in perfumed glory and pristine perfection

There's the mellifluous sound of a cascading waterfall
singing a soft melody as it spills from crevices of granite rock
Nourishing the serpentine river flowing through the glade

This haven appears as an Elysian Field, as Eden must have been
A sanctuary to remain inviolate and reverenced by the gods
Perceived to be hallowed ground, too sublime for mortal man

Lifer

Lifer
(For CSM Richard Webb)
David J Walker

He was a soldier
Who knew he beat the odds

Yet answering to the 
gods of the Elysian Field 

One day he would yield
His dog-tags and

Turn in his guns
And lay down to rest  with 

The rest of his brothers in arms

Visions Elysian

where Heaven -- 
forest creatures blush --
kisses Earth

Dreams of Fields Elysian

You could have stayed here
  and lived with the Diaspora's fear
that protecting Jews may prove an illusion
  You came to your own conclusion

To move to a land that Jews themselves defend
  Where not in vain is uttered, 'Never Again!'
We're so proud of you, son, and your decision
  To reach for dreams of Fields Elysian

Elysian Eurydice

She ventured limitless miles,
creating for herself, beaucoup
lifestyles.
She cannot be locked in a
sumptuous home, nor in your 
selfish heart.
It's simply not her way!

But you can find her dancing 
with daisies with no shoes or 
socks.
Totally free, for she will never 
follow you down any dock.

Beware,as she will intoxicate 
you with her Spumante-like 
mahogany eyes.
With invitations to come and 
play!
Always with a sensuous surprise!

Forever blowing kaleidoscopic 
bubbles in your direction.
Thus, enticing you to taste of her 
angelic total freedom..
Life's delight and indeed, its total 
and sweetest confection.

The Elysian

The Elysian

Of a dawning in a brilliant twilight hoverance,
Skipping along an unmarked trail so unexpectedly,
Dared naught say out mumbled words offered without pure malice,
None receptive to my thoughts for a soulless oddity.

Elysian

ELYSIAN

Glittering like d sun, 
 Sight blue like d moon, 
 Enamels pure as diamond, 
 Smile resembling snow. 

Filled with aura of confidence, 
 Soo quixotic as u are, 
 With ochres adorning ur soul, 
 Oregano blows 2ru ur paths. 

Soft hearted, 
 But strong in spirit, 
 Never to quit and always challenging, 
 Hopin 2 get evry desire. 

Stylish in fashion, 
 Always moving with trend, 
 Blazing d commentaries, 
 With tenderly look. 

You are
 Truly 
 Phosphorescent.

Elysian Fields

Elysian Fields

09/05/2018


Shadowy images, ethereal vestiges, glimpses of souls.

Ghostly pretences, undermine my defences,

Static, stranded, silently awake, wonder alone

Soft light of candle moves carelessly in my eye,

Manifesting deleterious demons in my mind.

Am I here, corporeal, visceral, essentially whole,

Fracturing my intellect, splintering my soul,

Spectre, shadow, soulless something invades below.

Stupid, stupid me !! Why read Edgar Allan Poe.

Imagination, minds machinations, undo my sanity.

The essence of soft shadows is innocence personified,

Fantastic phantoms ferret at the edge of my sagacity,

Real or imagined the consequences are capital.

My astral entity is imperilled,

Soft shadows lay thrilled,

Stalking, waiting, blood spilled,

Return from Elysian Fields.

Elysian Fields

Will you now place your sweet hand close in mine
and we’ll walk fair Elysian fields of peace.
Together we’ll talk knowing we won’t pine
earth’s scene where constant strain has no surcease.

The flowers show a majestic array
of colors bright more so than eyes can view.
With little white bench saying we can stay
awhile before our stroll begins anew.

This music you hear comes from morning lights
that play harmonic’s great ebullient score.
Its range exceeds the diatonic heights
and we can go to place where angels soar.

Dear, place your faith in Jesus Christ this day
and see the garden made for you to stay.

Dreaming of Elysian Fields

Dreaming of Elysian Fields



Those dreams of Elysian Fields I so miss
gentle days by the Okeanos flow
Soothing nights with you in such bliss
our souls flying with hearts in tow

Long days spent on the Fortunate Isle
walking the shady parks of Pindar fame
You dancing, dressed in golden style
loving echoes of you calling out my name

Cronus dare not take your sweet hand
for fear of my defending assault
We sing and dance with angelic band
in pleasure our true love has bought

Elysian angels dancing at your feet
the chorus of admirers a great throng
All is perfect, our lives a treat
joyous eternally in our own love song

By the Gods, your beauty breaks ground
your eyes, pools of pure liquid blue
My treasure, your pure heart I found
My blessing, a joyous living with you.
