Nirvanas Poems | Examples


Upsets and Underdogs

Kiwi Cricket's Shangri La...


"Can still hear the deafening din of the Indian crowd chagrin.

Stunned shell shocked silence at mandarins' sins.

Yet somehow still so loud

Like thunder down under in the proud

Land of the long white cloud.

Daring to dream of derring do plunder.

Upsets’ unctuous umami.

Shocks’ sumptuous serendipity.

Cast asunder as against the odds.

Hallowed Gods' anguished..felled & fallowed.

Kiwis vanquished the voodoo of Indian home hoodoo.

This purple patch, so perversely plush...got a hunch.

Would make even Prince blush, proud as ribena punch.

Sporting nirvanas cavorting with crepuscular career nadirs.

Can’t pillory this Test expedition, like the Everest conquest & Hillary.

Black cap sedition…Indian perdition.

Tradition debunked by spunky funk.

Not once, not twice but thrice.

Teeming..awash with gleaming beaming white.

Emancipation...damnation & salvation.

The Indian’s cardinal sin…not being able to play spin.

No way you can naysay.. just 

Another Bill Murray Groundhog day.

As we learned..the underdog winner.. we yearned had turned.

Fat cats burned & stats spurned..into a dog's dinner."

Camping On the Beach

The fire flickers with coastal breeze
Illuminating sand
The orange sun is setting slow
Where swaying palm trees stand

The crashing of the ocean surf
Helps calm the rabid soul
Close your eyes and smell the air
Nirvanas cup is full

The seagulls call has been detained
She's sitting in her nest
Waiting for the rising sun
With babies at her breast

As darkness falls, the air is calm
The ocean sings along
Lulling me into a trance
It's like a sirens song

I lay back on the sandy beach
The stars are shining bright
And smile in my slumber
'Cause there's peace on Earth tonight

Deathbed Prayers

Sanctify the begriming blood that churns within my decomposing channels.
Douse my life in the distilled downpour of the holy.
Spike my transgressions to the cross. 
Let them hemorrhage in crucifixion. 
I can no longer carry the burden of iniquity.
Let my soul spread wings and soar away into the nirvanas. 
Keep me from blackening in the magma of Gehenna.
Relieve me of eternal desertion in the onyx abyss.
I cannot tolerate to face Lucifer upon his throne.
Pull me away from the heat of the blaze. 
Lay me down on the silky luxury of the cloud.
Absolve my sins.
Liberate my ghost.
Forgive me.

No.

Bitter

Drag me into your game, baby
Just say yes, not maybe
If you love it as much as me
We can live in it together and be free

Can't feel the cold anymore
Must be nirvana, numb to the core
Baby, don't worry, we'll always be
Together forever, just you and me

Few years passed and the nirvanas gone
Now we feel the aches and the harsh cold dawn
Babe, what have we become
Went from livin' high to livin' dumb

This 'heaven' is hell, girl
Our life has become a whirl
The aches just wanna stay
I just want 'em to go away

Never tasted hell before
Sour and bitter to the core
Shadowed by this snow
Where will we stay
Where will we go
