Horizontal Poems - Poems about Horizontal

No dizzying height, no precipice to leap, Just level ground where secrets softly sleep. A sudden stillness, an unscripted pause, Defying gravity's expected laws. The body yields, a landscape overthrown, A shift in axis, starkly, simply shown. No dramatic plunge, no final gasping cry, Just earth embracing what was held so high. What unseen force, what inner tremor stirs, To break the vertical and...

Horizontal line determines many things. It determines silence, it signifies a line on a flat surface without further possibilities of inflectional variations. And it determines death too. Trivialities of trivial days and nights. Trivial possibilities for flashing moments for the one last time. Burned down moments of a sunset on a bridge meant nothing, nothing at...

Along alignment of sun skies and land The bright prisms orange golden yellow sky lit sun Shiny ever so bright follows the equator line As a horizontal light flickers off turning dark As the bronze sunshine turns to the night 9/27/21 Written by James Edward Lee Sr © 2021...

My boyfriend is one unlike any I've had before. He spends the majority of his time as horizontal as the floor. He likes to relax, let it all hang out, my friends often avert their eyes whenever he's about. He likes to be naked when he's horizontal, my friends are sometimes shocked when faced with a full frontal. When he visits,I let him in, he heads straight to...

Studious at the desk, disinclination to speak, Solid state of matter, I find impossible to pique, Engrossed in esoteric lingo, but all in his mind, Nonsensical gibberish, of language undefined, Attempting to engage, shows no interest in me, This room is totally empty, so far as he can see, Abstract images, behind eyes bereft of stares, I flick a torchlight, responsive...

Below the horizontal lines; At the dawn of grounds fine; Below me I see… the waves of the branches of the tree; Moving wavering; While above ground yet still and… I see below my feet the bubbling, rippering, spiraling, zippering, running towards me… Motions got me sickness yet; I ain’t movin I’m set; I’m standing still as the waters come up to my...

The black slurry sound of coal lifted by a shovel As it enters the locomotive mouth of fire Consumed in flames as well on dark gray days Is advised and necessary for movement forward  In any event the heat and cold are secondary To other pressing matters of formal conversation Not worth mentioning as life goes off the rails Carriages slip into...

A Horizontal pause in the evening light staring up feeling content on Earths soft floor. Clouds confused pausing...seeming to protect us from distant lights. Eyes fixed, fragile hearts willing to receive all beauty available in this elevated silence. White cliffs, soft clouds; our infinite audience as natures lazy applause moves gently over us. Silent moments become my voice as I gaze once more, your soft features...

A horizontal man beaten by life vicissitudes Don’t flog On him dump not platitudes To clog his misfortune on the blog Where his reputation you whip Out of shape, out of contention To snip and nip The devotion Once on him you doted Unstintingly As him you courted Ingratiatingly Until he fell on hard times Sunken and forsaken As clock chimes Never mistaken Heralded a new era For wheels to spin...
