Equus Poems - Poems about Equus


Equus Pallidus
The horse was pale, paler than the light off the mountain that reflected back in memories long abandoned Its mane was long, longer than the struggle to save what fortune had vehemently denied me twice The time was short, shorter than the flashes of history that hoofprints trampled in the disappearing snow The trail was closing, closing on one last intrepid promise crying out for...

Equus Ferrous
Equus ferrous There is a storm blowing when blue waves crash ashore white horses with flying mane gallop up, blocking the road. The stallions become a river, pushing useless cars aside to drown in their futility. The town below is a lake, rats escaping the sewers runs up to the third-floor frightening people with their anger eat...

Equus
Beneath the forelocks shady shroud and chestnut lashes low, A gaze to halt the human heart This creature can bestow. Apple breathed indifference and Wistful, fearful grace Can catapult the senses beyond This earthly place. Mankind made him subservient And service he knows well, Historically, such willingness has Grazed the gates of hell. Natures' magnum opus, Of evolutions course. Majestic in his countenance, Noble, hypnotic Horse....

The Equus
Choice and a destiny, something on their mind, the usual resolution or a prisoner confined. Snow, rain or thunder, shut in, cannot be outside, trapped and frightened, or man whipping at their side. Angelic and innocent, things not easily forgot, comfortable living or their soul and mind left to rot. Fear and mechanics, broke their beauty for many years, if dare resist, only hit harder, confirming their many fears. A...

Premium Member Equus Poeticus Variabilis
I’m riding your horse, no giddyap allowed, simply plunge into the deepest unknown. Your voice sets the pace, it whispers into the ears of my ride, sometimes they twitch sometimes they find water, sometimes the waterfalls absorb all thought. I lean over neck, sample horse blood like a vampire, like a computer’s command mode taking over my brain, allowing my...

Spirit of Equus
Equus - From birth I felt your vigorous presence- In this body, it is a tingle of joy, Upon which I fully enjoy- Spirit horse You have taught me the true voice of the wild You have showed me the coup of burden You have let me know it is all a choice- In your company I rejoice In your strength- Secure in your power. From...

The Four Brothers of Equus
Gallops in the shadows, feared by mortals: bearing on their collars the stewards of blitz. Like thunder from beneath, their presence, sensed: beware, I daresay before facing the eve. The White Brother comes with the archer, crowned: the arrows have dogma, unfortunately, malign. Claiming the head although contrived, this rider leads by construing minds. Still fresh, the stains on the Red One’s skin; as his rider murders random martyrs. A lake of blood has now consumed- the...
