Eye Blink Poems | Examples

Mediocrity

Write a poem
show poetic flare!
But not too deep
not too bright
surface is easier
to share – you can
take a reader to water...
but, Lord!~ you can make
one drink – too complicated
will just make a lazy
eye blink….

Fear Not Death

“Fear not the Grim Reaper. Death is an angel that accompanies good people to their home of everlasting joy.” by author

Death is not a spectre that wields a scythe.
The minute we’re born, we wend our way to it.
Neither is our Heavenly Creator but a myth.
Even if you breathe your last mortal breath,
a home like no other waits beyond the veil.
If life seems so hard that you want to scream,
there is no need against God to rail.
Life is but an eye blink in His grand scheme.
If you are kind and faithful, blessed in death you’ll be.
Joy, light, and love will be yours eternally.

Twelve Things My Kids Should Know

1. Trust is wonderful, but don’t be blind. Be wary, for predators exist.
2. As long as what you want is attainable somehow – persist, persist, persist.
3. Ever be grateful for your life and the gifts God gave to you.
4. Do your best, but don’t feel guilty if you fail; just do all you can do.
5. Don’t hold things in. With loved ones - talk things through.
6. Remember no one’s perfect. We can’t always cheerful be.
7. With things that make you feel discomfort, you ought not agree!
8. Be pleasant, respectful, and polite, but to yourself stay true.
9. Remember good things  that you’ve been taught, especially to be kind.
10. To those not like yourself, however, keep an open mind.
11. Life’s three L’s are learn, laugh and love.
12.Fear not death; life’s length is but an eye-blink compared to heaven above.

Human Mite Sight

How long is a short time, a hairs breadth above never 
Seen within one eye blink, the lash will move forever 
Perception throws curveball's, upon prismatic minds
Yet outside double slits, life-forms live completely blind 

And voracious appetites, strip eyelashes of girth 
Feeding on sebaceous oil, dines parasitic birth 
Nibbling away, watching reality slip from sight
Getting up close and personal, with demodex mites 

Making much from little, aiming to create new worlds 
Eyelashes warp under pressure, turn inward and curl 
Scratching the surface, observation now semi-blurred 
Eyeballs driving us crazy, itch cannot be demurred 

Lice-like creatures, slither up and down paying no tax 
Using eyelids as havens, in remorseless attacks 
Recombobulating dead skin, not the stuff of dreams 
We rip earths orb to shreds daily, in monster machines

Golden Memories

Reflecting on one's past is commonplace
We weigh our choices with old lessons learned.
When looking in a mirror at our face
Our youth is scarred with wrinkles, laurels earned.

Some folks will call it "living in the past"
It is a fate that comes with growing old
And truthfully, it all went by so fast
In one eye blink, a lifetime can unfold

Yet all of us are rich in memories
Which seem to me, to come and go at will
They are the remnants of life's vagaries
We drink like wine, until we've had our fill

The next time one decides to come around
Be thankful for the treasure you have found.

How To Be Free

to be free must love you
watch what you do
don't just eye  blink
before acr  think
life can be kink
 don't  sink
look up  when it gets ruff
nake  your life heavenly
thats let it be
thars 
HOW TO BE FREE

Avoid the Void

what lies there between
the sense of past and present
one simple eye blink

An End and a Beginning

In my twilight years I search for answers
To questions that I recently pondered.
I was told of an old man in the hills
Who knows the universe he has wandered.

So I asked him, "Where do we poets go?"
He smiled as he said, " You have it twisted."
The question should be, "Where do Muses go?"
"No Muses, no poets have existed."

He told of a place in the universe
Called simply " Eternal Inspiration"
Each Muse can change the world with an eye blink
Leaving poets time for contemplation

"So, my son," said he. "Do what you do now."
"Follow your Muse as you have always done. "
"He takes you to a land that is never dry."
And now I see the setting of the sun.

A Better Tomorrow

The future I believe we all shall see
is not a hopeful one, yet I will try
to think a bit optimistically!
For those of you who are afraid to die,
I write this message. There is hope beyond
this world with all its woes, and there is good
in many people. May the human bond
of friendship keep us strong in brotherhood!
When times get bad, we all will have to trust
in one another, for no matter what,
souls are eternal though flesh turns to dust!
I feel this very strongly in my gut.

An eye-blink is the time here that we dwell.
Pure love awaits kind souls beyond the veil.

Like Zen In Her Old Age

Like Zen in Her Old Age 

 

Like Zen in her old age,  

she moves as calm water 

with the slow metabolism 

of ancient stones and redwoods. 

  

toiling like the slow rutting 

of running water through rocks. 

With finger to wrist,  

she feels the tide ebb and flow in her pulse,  

  

And within the ice age of an eye blink 

she lives through the millennia 

moving at the pace 

of the slow creep of continents 

  

as she steps back into history.

Sea of Sadness

The sea roars in my ears today
Bemoaning the sadness I feel in every bone
Every cell every eye blink

Sadness I never 
Fully understood before
Death found my family

I am helpless
Being flopped and turned
Not struggling not even caring

The sea roars into my ears today
Chilling no one for my soul is gone
We all died yesterday 

I am neither warm or cold
I am not here or there
I no longer know myself

I am a puppet
Thrown carelessly around
By a world that has crucified me with her evil

My cousin was murdered yesterday
And her children
Five and eight

I am no longer here
I am being flopped around carelessly
Dying would be okay maybe better than this sea of sadness

Please Leave Me In Lala Land

My hearts dream is alert, awake,
but cannot coax my body 
into even a dull eye blink.

My hearts goals are just
beyond my reach, I am
in lala land, and I want to
stay there.

My hearts song is now
allowing me to move even
a muscle, as I try to
recapture my dream.

The dog nudges my leg
again, wanting to get up,
smelling bacon I do not
care about or eat

UGH! It is a Tuesday.
I throw my pillow at
my annoying alarm.

I almost had it this time.

A Day With You

I would have lost my mind
If I try to imagine today without you
I think you and I know this fact that,
Seconds usually make minutes
And minutes makes an hour
But when I'm with you, it feels like
Seconds make hours
At least, so I thought
But here is the truth; 
I don't even need to imagine what minutes would turn out to be when I'm with you 
Yet, I know this for sure that
If we actually stay in such a moment
It'll be full of life living in feelings 
Perhaps, even LOVE...
So, I thought you should know that
I'd give up my pen and paper
Just to have a moment with you 
I mean,
I'd rather spend an eye blink with you
Rather than a day without you

Said With Tongue Had Been Denied

Said With Tongue Had Been Denied

What he did say with tongue was denied,
Then would end up with his tongue tied;
Saw each eye blink,
And started to think,
About all of those who in a war had died.
