Jolted Poems | Examples

Jolted by Twlight

I ruminate about the past 
    in the roaring rain, 
I never understood 
   the happiness game, 
One of my architects 
  used brutality to enlighten me  
I wondered if this was the
  reason my spirit was so cold, 
Why did my eyes resemble the winter snow?  
I didn't find empathy until 
  I transited back in time. 
There were endless pieces of me I.  couldn't find. 

At dawn, I wore my impostor smile.  
  Until Insomnia became my pristine first name, 
Jolted by twilight, I saw my truths
    shimmering, from the sky, 
I learned to be content 
  with my shadow 
     and those luminous scars.

Jolted by Twilight

A breath of light and suddenly I'm lost.  Catapulted by 
a mesmerizing scene of audacious beauty.
I'm a ringtone of arrival on a magic carpet ride, 
run me over with a feather, then let me repose   
Life on earth unhems, I let go of the mayhem inside  
sewn to the carpet of a foggy blue moon I finally meet
                             my muse *
face to face only we lay privy to this infinitesimal light
as it shines, shines, and shines;       
 
inside a celestial palindrome
a madam of leisure *
nothing can censure me here 
blast those blessed stars !

Quote: "Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise." Unknown Author of a well known poem.

As the day meanders by,
Sunbeams still stream from the sky, 
With so many promises left to fulfil.
And a relaxed sensation lingers still.
Euphoric stimulations rush through my mind,
A pulsating tempo, urging me on to unwind.
A peace in knowing, what I know to be so,
I fret for the knowledge of what I don’t know.
Alarmed yet inspired by the sun’s sudden sinking.
The loss of this day sets my mind feverishly thinking.
A panicked realization, harshly jolted by twilight.
The day is ending and turning to night.
I watch the golden orb with its crimson halo.
Each unfinished promise must wait, this I know.
The sun melts into the far off shadowy hills,
My failure to complete each task, now gives me chills.
However, sunset’s glowing beauty of splendor untold.
I rest as night’s velvety blanket begins to unfold.
With a sweetness, and a warm tranquil overtone. 
Knowing that tomorrow’s arrival is surely set in stone.

Jolted By Twilight

The zephyr in dainty dusk ruffles sunk sun’s sequins, 
ripples the radiant facade of the placid pond,
where on the lilting lap of a silken lotus leaf, 
floats forlorn, rolls restless, a rain drop, 
a resplendent opalescent pearl.
Lest it gets shoved away, the leaf entwines 
its transient trance with the satin threads of love, 
unattached to the ephemeral possession.
At the end of twilight time the fluid gem dries up,
disappears in obscure triviality of transient entity.
  
Swathed by the sparkle of the winter twilight, 
frozen at the end of the last mile,  
like the wilted leaf of a defoliated tree
my languid life floats on the ebbing tide 
of the consumed time, receding fast into oblivion,
where my essence spurts the fountain of elixir.
With the surge of the tsunami of bliss,  
under the aura of luminous divinity,  
I get jolted by the enlightenment twilight, 
imbibe sublime serenity of detachment derivative.

Jolted by Twilight

caught napping 
resting on our past laurels 
never served anyone well 

in twilight of existence 
Earth is retaliating 
and jolted into action 
which we might very well now regret awakening 

I’ve no tears left for mankind 
never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake*

Jolted by Twilight

I lay with languor praying for an answer I’d been seeking.
Azure glitter-drops splashed upon
the clean white sand nearby my feet.
I drifted into sleep then as wisps of clouds
in a sky mirroring the cerulean sea beneath it
wafted slowly like my slackening pensive thoughts.
I’d dozed and was awakened by gulls’ shrill long calls.

Instantly, I was jolted by twilight, and I
saw crimson and persimmon devouring sky.
Slathered-on apricot and rubescent streaks
formed the backdrop to the seagulls’ piercing shrieks.
Some saffron deliciousness was also in my view
when just as suddenly came the answer to
the question I’d been pondering before my nap.
It came as if the sunset had the sound of a snap!
Gamboge, tangerine and raspberry sorbet
drizzled into sea at the end of that day.
Mesmerized and well-pleased, I lingered there.
Dusk turned into night with the hush of a prayer.

Behind me, I hear,
 The receding roar of years.
  It sends chills down my spine.
   For me, no more springing steps,
    But a fast- withering torso,
     So awkward and unsure. 
      I look on to the track ahead,
        As the race winds down
         And the final turn in sight.
          I am jolted by the twilight seeping into my life.

          Once my life has been a round of cheer.
         But no more can I cling onto those days so dear.
        I am an autumn leaf turned red, 
       And about to shed.
      As the world goes wheeling through,
     Somehow, I am pushing through,
    Waiting for that tightening grip,
   Of an unknown caller’s powerful fist!
  With the sunset, after the twilight fades
 Will I be able to rise up in crimson glory?

Jolted By Twilight

I'm jolted by the twilight of my years.
So blessed to be mid-eighty standing still
to bask in memories of what has passed-
and grateful for my present, awesome life.

My thoughts of future years are now defined;
for certain, there's an ending to my road
where I will not be privy to the gifts
of taking part in good times that will come.

Four Great-Grand babies and one more to come;
their ages now, between newborn and five.
My thoughts of future joys with them decline
by that uncertain span, my future holds.

How many of their birthdays will I share?
How many holidays will I be there
with family to interact with them?
These questions show my limitations well.

I'm jolted by the twilight of my years.
But I must grasp my life as nearly full;
more empty if they never graced my world-
enjoying them until that gate is closed.

Jolted By Twilight

Once again the silvery moon has pilfered the golden sun
Total eclipse is upon me, time has elapsed suspending orange
Twilight’s begun on the orb’s descending softer glow 

Veiled in twilight…                                                    
Placid and limitless, I’ve glimpsed into the frontier in tranquil rapture
Moon aligns sans sun’s bright face

Jolted by twilight…
I coast along a sea of stars juddered wildly
Waves spanning the sky avec abandon 
Embraced by star-strewn externals
I leave behind a familiar harbor 
Anchored are my temporal remnants down in the terrestrial realm 
My spirit soaring, a mirthful lodger I be,
swimming in twilight’s radiance 
Its celestial smile shall be the death of me...

embracing star-strewn 
crowned external forevers~
we soar the tides dance

Jolted by twilight

Now aubade has gone 
and the day has spun its spun 
A jolt of twilight wakens
the nothingness to come 
No more rises or zeniths
no future for the sun 
only the shocking truth of knowing 
When life’s done it’s done
For death can never be destroyed or undone 
Hollowed out inside, oblivion’s rotten void 
Permanence beset with no upside 

But the twilight jolts again 
A curve appears across night’s end 
a qualm of uncertainty, another bend
If not the sun 
If not the son
None becomes more than the sum
A doubt has arisen through death’s prism
I feel… I feel…  
Damn I feel so close
Just like in life… I’m somewhere… almost!

Jolted by Twilight

Like dreams ~ as conscience echoes through the dark,
and life's mirage laps upon my shores
where dunes of sand are blown like drifts of snow.
I'm lost ~ alone ~ not knowing where to go,
except between where beach roses grow and...
where love is/was still unforgettable ~ regrettable? 
       too perfect to ever last?
Like clouds that swept by the August moon and
          off 'til morning ...
Was it a mistake to leave you there - to run,
when morning twilight exposed our skin - our sin - our honor?

Now, life leaves us dwelling in one night and a summer
that should never have been, and a tomorrow that
               never was......but remains 
    in my twilight of yesterdays, but not in my twilight
            of regrets.........except to never
                have seen you again...

Jolted by Twilight

You rang…illumination of bittersweet passion.
My facial vitality warmed by the welcoming awakening.
My eyes become as stars linked together with humanity
The balm of a new day.
                                      At day’s end
the jigsaw of twilight, jolted by the multitudinous explosion
of magenta, violet and crimson. I squeeze my love’s hand.
An euphoric inhale of impending rest; not inert but fullness.

Coloriffic breast to lie upon. Seeping hues choose all of us
in its reveal. Do we choose to look up or close the shades?
Do we then complain, we’ve no beauty in our pain?

Be jolted by twilight, not champagne nor caffeinated seeds.
Come alive as the night tucks you in, serene. Sense
God’s presence in your storm - His riveting resonance.

This is the saddest day of my life,
But the day dosen't know that, the sky is so blue and the sunshine so bright.

No one looks and nobody cares as I stumble my way through the hours,
Everything just continuously drags,
I don't eat I don't drink I am just here.

I fear the coming night and the dreams it will hold,
But it's so far away as the time drags slowly on and on.

Eventually the light begins to fade, I know the time is near to the dark horrors that await,
I realise all of this as I am jolted by the twilight.

Jolted by twilight

sounds and senses serenade as the sun,
words and whispers possess power like a gun…
perhaps my lingering lullabies made a broken heart believe~
the silence spoken, jolted by twilight lips purely to deceive…
take all the tales I twist so you can achieve~
what delusions your creative mind can conceive

have I made the world tremble?
have you woven your sad sorrows?
is my grammar too poor to perceive?
your wasted time was mine to borrow

my heart begins a million miles away from here,
and the doors are dressed in blades~
drenched in malignancy…
your fabrication is indeed a fabulous fantasy~
so cheers to your efforts; your craftsmanship, a soothing symphony….

Jolted by bolted days

Beauty painted by nature in the clouds,
A big umbrella that shields not the crowds,
Pitter-patters and everyone is soaked,
Thereafter, sunlight anger is provoked.

Brushes not coloured by oil or water,
Yet hues of blue, pink and red on blotter,
Leaving the painter's brush so sirenic,
Just to make the birth of the night scenic.

Dark veil then covers twilight's pretty smile,
With its splendour taken away in style.
The veil was lifted and I was jolted,
Twilight just made another day bolted.

Old age beckoned and reality dawned.
Fulfilment of my heart desires prolonged.
Worked hard but the reward is so little,
My patience has become very brittle.

Since my life is by now in its twilight,
Nature is not considering my plight.
Nowhere afresh again for me to start.
This truth has left a deep hole in my heart.
