Flickers Poems - Poems about Flickers

I’ve bloomed well past blossom season, no fleshy pink petals here. Wrinkles appear now. Feet left by crow. You see the grey in the brown, see a patch of scalp showing. You see the change in my gait, see my once brisk pace slowing. But what you don’t see is me: I am no longer desirable,...

In twilight's hollow, where shadows play, I find myself lost, in a heart's gray day. A soul once afire, with love's pure flame, Now flickers faintly, in loneliness's cold frame. In secret gardens, where memories reside, Our laughter echoes, a haunting, mournful tide. The ghosts of our whispers, the shadows of our past, Torment my waking, and forever will last. Like autumn's leaves,...

Under the shadowed vault of time, where power flickers like a deceptive beacon, Authority entices the shadows, drawing the basest elements of our kind, Throughout history, humanity has been shackled by the dregs of the world, slaves to their own decay, They endure any humiliation, commit any vile act, just to taste the nectar of domination. The wretched remnants...

In my brain, a neon butterfly flickers hysterically, Drawing with antennae of light the map of an unknown city. Its streets are pulsing veins, the buildings - vertebrae of crystal, And in the squares, wax statues weep tears of mercury. I wander through this labyrinth of consciousness, where each step Is a syllable from the universal poem that binds us,...

In plain sight, space flickers and right at that moment, both palms and soles of feet, tingle with magnetism; pulse that does not deplete. In plain sight, space flickers, cognised if we be still; God’s light shines from behind, ours to know unless we’re spiritually blind. In plain sight, space flickers, signalling it’s a veil, which all pure hearts can pierce, upon shedding ego and desire tempests fierce. In plain...

Under the shadowed vault of time, where power flickers like a deceitful beacon, Authority tempts the shadows, alluring the lowest elements of our kind, Throughout history, humanity has been shackled by the dregs of the world, slaves to its own decline, They endure any indignity, commit any vile act, just to taste the nectar of dominion. The world's wretched...

In the realm where shadows stretch and fragile light flickers timidly, a world where each step, each whisper rolls into the void, modern beings are entangled in the web of ambition, not to be, but to succeed in this relentless race. We, the descendants of the tireless generation, where the anthem is "do more, but feel less," are the architects of...

A lifetime plays out as you watch a movie screen, or hang around in the foyer, waiting for the right movie to start. Then you realize that it has always been your light on that screen - that you were, fact, the only projector in town.,center. ...

FLICKERS OF TIME dear dear one It's now clocking seven years Since you left me in this maddening crowd Lonely as a grape tree in the yard Fearing that some strong wind may one day knock me down I still lay in melee Hoping that some day The wind will blow you back to me When you left me The world seemed...

Heart contractions, a wake up call Moments when we fail to stand tall It almost seems we’re in a dream Blockaded by a mere thought wall Fears and desires, that inwards stream Hollow, shallow, ego spawned scheme Void-centric joyous soul’s immune To imagined fears, that so beam When with pulse of love we’re in tune To throbs of bliss our heart does swoon Outcomes any,...

The candle flickers, the sunlight fades, Nearly extinguished, up high the flame leaps As brilliant rays pierce my heart's horizon Then disengage, sink slowly into the ashen eve Where unseen, sparks glow and glimmer From my inmost chamber throughout Night's long deep slumber, until sensing your Imminent Return, the...

Thoughts flood my mind when I’m alone Close to my computer I am sin prone These flames of lust they flicker within me Images intertwined begging me to see This empty eroticism promises of ecstasy I know this is my prison still I don’t want to be set free Curved and supple together bodies mingle My eyes long to breath in a promised...
