Mystery Poems | Examples of Mystery Poetry

Echoes of summons ring on. With them a sonorous clamour for painted lines. The rim of night stretches and holds fast to a colossal nocturne hung on furs-and-clouds walls, and a concentric image of life rotates on edges of weak silver. Long-dead poets campaign openly for verses – among them Wordsworth and Eliot – each putting a swagger to his arrogant gait of...

The absolute reign of night lasts forever And throbs from wet drums within lengthen its royal reign. Constellations stud the lashes with midnight views; Salutations from the owls’ wing-flaps welcome the Sponge web of the womb of this hour And the sable-garmented, freezing, old, festered December day lives on. Arrangements of coloured words without voice begin. Prompted by visions of midmornings coming In the...

Days along the mysterious path, Doors open to the unknown. The strange accompanies me; I become a turbulent sea. I hear no knock on my door, But I see strangers in my room. They awaken elements of the deep;...

Destiny, oh destiny, why hide thyself from me. Come out, come out, for all to see. A life filled with struggle, then at last a surprise. Why not reveal now how I self-actualize? Have I no choice of my destination, How I’ll proceed in my maturation? How many ways could there be? Or outcomes to this mystery? More than one, surely a few, Leave...

Though you're oblivious to the outside, You reside somewhere on the inside. You're a part of me, I become a turbulent sea. You arise from the unknown, You shoot your arrows, And I bear the sorrows— These are not seeds I have sown. You hide in the stygian night,...

In the mystery of night, when stars sing a forgotten hymn, I travel through the shadows of silence, seeking an abstract truth within. Through labyrinths of thoughts, an underground river carries me, With each ripple, closer to the star that ceased to be. In the whispers of the wind, I hear the call of ancient deities, Pouring into my soul...

Captured by your pageantry Mask shielded identity Bewitched my gallantry Stole my heart anonymously Such mysterious glamour Eerie yet intriguing Speaking to my emptiness Replacing all my loneliness Extravagant mystery Shadowy history Surreal and dramatic Ornately enigmatic Your life a deceptive dance Role played romance Cloaked intentions And social masks Lavishly concealed Make your backroom deals Trading hearts like tokens With words softly spoken The masquerade illusion The ultimate confusion Love but allusion Self-serving inclusion Bitter truth unveiled Torn...

Strolling upon the shore at night, cavorting crabs come into sight. White-capped waves kiss the sultry shore, whisper nothings in gentle roar. Digging clams discover their holes, hiding away within the shoals. Starfish affirm their right of place, disappearing without a trace. Treasures blossom on cooling sand, aglitter in a patterned strand. Tiny rivulets run their course returning to their common source. Mysterious as it may be, I...

Do not stare in unbelief Or marvel at the moment of a miracle Rather stand in complete relief That energy has shown itself completely In metamorphic perfection Metamorphic elements in pure perfection Evolve and become the seeds The next stage of evolution Be not in a state of amazement But content in each moment of the process ...

a leisurely stroll, walking alone in the park, I voice deep secrets - thoughts that I have never shared - with the forest primeval verdant, sheltering, it absorbs the unrevealed; nature is opaque...

In the mystery of the unknown, where thoughts flow like a river, my being seeks innocence, unknown even to myself, I am free, at last, to be silent, to bathe in the quiet of your promise of promises, like the pear tree in the garden, which feels beauty, but never asks why such splendor is here. On monsoon days, full of...

Once upon a woeful early December night nigh, Who am I, in this fateful time of scry’s reprise? Over many a quaint reminisce of my ghostly past, Suddenly, feel eyes piercing again, with no end. I looked around, to no avail; my time has end. I turned and saw darkness cast. As I went out in the dreary night, I...
