Lambency Poems | Examples

Lambency Bob And Wheel

More time,
sand swirl back to the sky;
Ease the old pantomime
who always seems to cry, 
longing to taste their prime;

Rotate 
the hands back to the start;
A path ordained by fate, 
you can’t change it sweetheart;
Live before it’s too late;

Quicken 
and tighten up that pace;
Chase what is unwritten,
leave much more than a trace;
Let yourself get smitten;

Go slow 
savor a daily smile;
Lean into that gusto,
dissipate for a while;
Lambency let it show.

Magical

      Mesmerizing in more ways than one!
 Astral wonder; lovers underneath Milky Way.
  Gooseberry-playing crescent moon above
Is widely smirking at jokes being exchanged.
 Cacophony of sounds; unremitting, inviting.
   A romantic picnic outing; quite magical.
 Lambency of twilight beggars description!

Mythical Moon By Day

As dragonflies squint in the rayless night.
My glimmer of whimsy embraces flight.
Yet faith wanes, and enthusiasm is slight. 
As lambency falters—the horizon is bleak.
In a stupendous stupor—drifting on the creek. 
All my hopes and wishes were dubious.
The path to gloat is fraught with malicious.
Each stage entailed making us furious. 
My whimsy used to be—as bright as a rainbow.
Overall, they're vanishing - along with the glow. 
Moon by day is superb, and myths delight.
Gibbous and full moons are rich and unique.
Crest of soft verve in love delirious
Moon by day tells us of how our might blow.

Man-Made, Yet a Human Brain Was Cooked Into Stygian-Hued Glass By Spilling Lava In 79ad

A curve of sky
in a corner cusps a smooth,
thick dusting 

of carrot-mauve hues 
tonight. Drapes over heather
trees 

whose arms 
and hands bend with this drowsy sky
as it starts

to fall asleep-
the cyrean "silk" upon 
which this 

cantaloupe tint 
is traced, daubed, by the brushstrokes 
of Mother Nature;

is ready 
for the deep onyx doves-with halos-
of a cold Spring night.

With the Heavens' 
cut diamonds-for the Goddess-
and immaculate 

lambency.
This soft lusty Dusk will Father
a shiny glass red 

rose, 
a radio balefire 
that will 

capitivate 
through the limbs of the esteemed 
trees, 

wink 
through this Springtime's beetling 
intimacies 

on a windy night. 
The man-made magenta 
comforts 

as it beams 
next to the "Sunrise Field", 
mowed emerald blades 

under 
another sky of day-break 
pigments-

a dawn 
placenta of bright lemon 
vanilla,

and little 
sugar- coated strawberry 
juices-

another corner 
of the clay, sea, and cloud-and ash-
colored campus- 

bewitching 
oil paintings in crystalline 
emblems...

Your Kisses

yearning for the soft touches
of your lips brushing against mine
under the lambency of this moon
reigning down on me this evening

kaleidoscope of january splashes
iridescence that reflects back
shimmers of starry eyed beams
secretly awakening the scope of dreams
enticing me to delectably crave
sweet kisses from your lips

Prelude To a Storm

As with all preludes
there is much mummery and mockery,
a delirious glee to be 
just below the overhanging wave,
yet dry enough to prance
and mimic the oncoming monster.

Now the windowpane is dampened
by a stupor of uprooted clouds,
if you touch its cold bare face
a crushed lambency drains into fingertips, 
like sand through an hourglass.

The sky has been secretly smoking,
it has now rubbed the earth
with a last glowing stub.
The cabin fire flares as the generator 
coughs up stutters of apprehension.

“It’s going to be a big one,”
proclaims the sequestered voice
of a wind-up radio;
a nervous twist in the sudden hush
jangles a teacup.

The prelude is still prepping.
Goats have to bawl first,
The cat must count its fine bones
with each pensive lick.

The ‘far-away’ suddenly jumps at you,
even though you have been watching it 
leap across your mind for hours.
The hours themselves have left the stage.
The prologue was overlong,
now the first act has arrived
before its end.

Distanced

on the edges
of every dream
you stood

my salvation
from pain
wiping free
my lonely tears

your lambency shined
like a beacon
guiding me
through darkness

your wings
comforted,
shielded me

a kiss
blown
on wishes
adrift
in the winds
that held you
closer

i taste you
on my lips
as you part
through my tears

on the edges
of dreams
you stand
distanced

i reach for you
as my hands slip
through air

this blade
pierces my heart
through the fog
lifting me 
into my salvation
from pain

Cast a Long Shadow

lingering thoughts cast a long shadow
beneath the lambency of full moon
we twirl together, my mind attuned
within the expanse of dreams aglow

i hear your whisper fall in night's air
feel your restless hands yearning for trust
pulling me into your rhythmic thrust
foretaste the climax of dreams we share

yet do i dare love you outside of thought
taste the honey of your lips pressed tight
or lay you down on these sheets of white
inking you in memories as dreams sought?

Adrift In a Wish

trailed by stardust
the first star of twilight
where i scatter my wishes
glitters like your eyes
locked in the depths of mine

the gossamer breeze
caresses my skin
like a tongued whisper
escaping your winded breath
within the thrust of night

i arch myself blandly
in the contours of shadows
aglow with the lambency of moon
adrift in wishes of you

Sweet Dreams

tonight
i'm collecting wishes
as they fall from stars

dancing 
with the shadows
within the lambency 
of this full moon

basking
in the glow 
of thoughts
from cloudless mind

blowing
kisses in the wind
hoping they find a way
through the darkness
into your dreams

Mourning of a Fragile Heart - Collaboration

Cold rain is my companion on this night that's gone askew
I walk the street alone, my heart in splinters and shattered
Rain mingles with tears; my world blurred in shades of blue
Love is a paradox of emotions, tossed about and scattered

I walk the street alone, my heart in splinters and shattered
Shadows lengthened in the lambency of burning lamp light
Love is a paradox of emotions, tossed about and scattered
Melancholy memories haunt me in cloudy visions tonight

Shadows lengthened in the lambency of burning lamp light  
You say it's over and now I’m left with a fragmented heart 
Melancholy memories haunt me in cloudy visions tonight 
My pain is raw. I can't comprehend why you would depart 

You say it's over and now I’m left with a fragmented heart 
Rain mingles with tears; my world blurred in shades of blue 
My pain is raw. I can't comprehend why you would depart 
Cold rain is my companion on this night that's gone askew

Eternal Breath

See the chuckles of your children, something's missing
The quiet days we used to have
The last tears I ever shed
Never know, what brought us to this day

I have no clue or sense
The day when you're tired of life
Your destiny seems to be broken
You, the lost petals of black roses  

Nightly, night, the orb of night send its lambency
As your eternal breath continued your journey
Back to the nursery room through the gloom
See the babies asleep on your silent creep

In your second breath, you're gone
I was torn down by the barrier of my sanity
No tears that I was able to drop
For crowds already bathed you with their melancholy 

I still see you amid the empty spaces
I still sense you among all of us
Throw some jokes about the bitter sweetness of life
Your eternal breath continues in our time

' Party Under the Square Moon '

========================================================

Crepuscle beamed, descried at the telluric cyan orb
Dusk devoured auric daystar as lambency was absorbed
Sun's verve, twinkle immersed by the lil' murk
Permeate the newfangled burst of wavering lights in the skylark
Stupefied by the wondrous jaw-dropping milieu
Quadrilateral lunar satellite came into being ... it's true
Moonlight in turquoise, then cerulean radiance come forth
Sometimes vermilion, xanthous, amethyst in hue, real ravishing in worth
Nightfall turned into a deluxe, grandiose discotheque
Music of pyrotechnics, symphonized in grotesque
Four-sided night star trip the light fantastic
Made every cyclicity, rhythm, syncopation exotic
What a comely, ecstatic, striking, mind-glued augury
A tour in the out of this world planet, where there's no existing adversary
I am the sculptor, architect and painter of my own exquisite sunset
Twilight's ikon in my mind still in set
Written in words, penned with the mind's eye
Done through the " LIMITLESS " dye.

========================================================

Tantamount To a Trinity

Rejoicing tongues taste a tripled fortnight of psalms.
Parched throats anointed with vintage myrrh
commemorate a solemn departure.
Hands reflecting no piercings -
Feet devoid of spiked reverence and divinity
expire within the jackal’s private Calvary;
a dark abyss strangled with misguided beggars 
blindly choosing a Dante's purgatory for themselves.
For they shun not the light dispersing absolution - selfish claws 
steal this lambency to illuminate the plight of their own wickedness.
Fiery angels rarely dance atop fraudulent tombs drowning in self-worship;
they are quietly reborn between clasped palms praising a resurrection.
