Obscurities Poems | Examples

Premium MemberDescent into Darkness

Obscurities of one's fractured mind
Patterns of destructive, haunting thoughts
The ones that shatter all sanity
And contaminate one's mortal soul

I suppose it is time, finally
I so desperately needed them free
The demons that devour me
Heretofore rulers of my being

I once restrained and did keep
Them locked beyond mortal certainty, but
The hallowed purity I cherished
Had found its purpose in their custody

And at last, I bid my final farewell
To my trespassers, these unbidden guests
For starting today I shall persist
To emerge transformed as one of them

Driving in New Mexico



the terrain’s more expansive here 
you said, as if obscurities that had been,  
moved aside so the eye 
could soak in highways singing 
restless blues, as if language 
materialized straight from that feeling 
of nowhere coupled with too many 
places to be, and you can see 
what you want to, blanketing the spaces 
with clutter from your mind 
by accident like deja vu 

I keep turning mid-drive 
to stare at the unusual wedding 
of indifference and curiosity, 
your green eyes touching even 
further than the collective 
of what remains         enchantingly 
unspoken

Light of Lights

Light throbbing in the heart of darkness 
Shakes its density and solidity 
Dawn lengthening towards morning
Mops up darkness slowly
Shadows vanish
In its brightness  
It rubs them off the bodies 
Of men and furniture
Lion, camel, orangutan and tiger;
Light focused on cave 
Clears the obscurities  
Light of reason removes 
The stumbling blocks of superstition  
Light of knowledge conquers ignorance
Light of conscience deals with narrowness  
Pushing it towards broadness and righteousness 
Light broadens the narrow space of the heart
Leads it towards benevolence 
Pride and prejudice, niggardliness vanish  
With the white purity  
Of the effulgent Divine light 
The light of lights!  
It hovers round us
Flashes with higher consciousness 
In search of us groping in the dark
Near us comes it giving chance to embrace 
Sure it is that we move pulled towards it 
Let that light grace us towards fulfillment.

Suffering sautées souls
Peeling away the impurities 
Revealing the obscurities
Redeeming even polishing
Character like a crystal 
Creating out of clay
A great new display
Despite mud of former day
Wiped and made
Shiny and new
A pearl birthed by world

Neverland

I was in a perfect gallery,
My journey could have been more weary.
I was on a trip full of unknown necessities,
I collected dirty obscurities. 

I used to run the errands,
Massacre was another name for my commands.
I collected your nicknames,
They were too hasty for me to join such games. 

I was in a neverland,
Worshipping you was never out of my hands.
I was on the unnamed surface,
Beneath that, you were merely a minimal face. 

Your shadow was not justified by your choice,
Neverland was a home to me where you were my only voice.
Your courtesies were sometimes tiresome,
In your royal court, I was nothing but burdensome. 

You do not walk on springs,
I long for you, not just because you are a living being!
You were the sole entity in that land,
Without you, it is nothing but a piece of sand!

Premium MemberA Soul Divine

A candle burns deep, in core of every soul,
A sacred flame, an ethereal halo of intellect,
A guide heavenly, a mystique that educates,
Defying overtures of egotism and pettiness,

A beacon of wisdom beaming rays eternal
On passage to liberty that was always there
Yet, elusive to arrogance and ignorance,
Mired in obscurities and misguided fallacies.

Soul never rests, sailing vast oceans of life,
Whether upon apex or troughs of tides
Vying shores spiritual, buoying endearment,
Inviting apathy and hubris to temple of solace
Delivering words of sermon compassionate,

Teaching of awakening and enlightenment,
Liberating from beliefs narrowly defined
Toward empathy, enriching hearts, and minds,
Transcending to rebirth of happiness divine,

In harmony with salvation, an epic realization, 
An epiphany heard through angelic citations
Emanating from influences beyond transitory,
Forever missives of attainment and peace,

Embracing serenity of solitude, clarity of being,
Achieving bliss of cohesion and congruity,
Set free beyond bounds of mundane, ordinary,
Attaining divinity in realm of humanity.

Premium MemberSecond Chances

If it's your purpose Father I will continue to wait patiently at times
             I  can't be still for your will for me will be done in your timing not
             mines. When i tried to things my way it did't work you always
              interceded, I couldn't see you were protecting me from myself.

             The adage goes two wrong don't make it right therefore don't
             point fingers at me and call me out of my name because of
             insecurities you make accusations I have. Second chances my
              Father has given me to be set free from my obscurities now
            I'll continue to grow father for my love hasn't changed and I will
            remain your same daughter even though flesh and blood often switch 
            around.

My World of Dreams

In this world of obscurities
Of living ghosts
lost in chimeras
Of impossible dreams
We don't understand the magic
of a dawn
Happiness that can only be felt
With pure childhood eyes
I dream my dreams
let me stay,
forever dreaming...!

Premium MemberObscurities

One has trampled down many roads and greeted many detours and obstacles only attempt was to release and escape these webs of obscurities lured into it’s web and was transposed in many directions so bewildered and jumbled seeking one’s way of escape of obscurities. Waving the white towel of hope at obscurities’s face to convince to shed for its light of hope.

Divine Poetry

Divine instrument, is poetry
and only poetry with her magic vision,
who describes
the indescribable,
defines the indefinable,
exults the verisimilitude
of the simple, because
exceeds any limit
of the believable and the incredible
breaking the shackles
  of the mysteries..
Simplifying and demystifying
the obscurities by clarifying
any and all secrets
exposing emotional beauty
of poetry...!

Premium MemberAssessment a Sigh of Relief

The yellow scraps perform a thrill during fierce storms. 
The breeze turbine is a lofty pattern within local farms. 
Amazed, I can spot concussive impacts in the wet stones. 
Bursting a ball of fire to tackle to impel amply atones.

A golden ovoid floats through unfathomable seas.
In symbiosis, green clusters wave in the gentle breeze. 
Portentous obscurities better the mighty sweep. 
During this time, igniting was lit on cremated sheep. 

Misty areas are evolving naturally to be wildly small. 
Efficient turbines humming, the trees shriek as well. 
The dappled shade of padded blossom subtly changed. 
A tentative mid-year sunset will have utterly emerged. 

Twirled, observing the shadow in youngster-like awe. 
A rare bird split a point worm and devoured him raw.

I'Ll Never Give Up

To the world,
I promise to never give up
I undertake to fly high without any limitation
I avowed to do my best absconding my trepidation
And just as you know I'll never give up

I'll be as sturdy as the wind
Shine as brightly as a soaring sun
But won't be as a moon to shine in the dark depending on others
I'll be my own moon to shine in my obscurities
And just as you know I'll never give up.

The scars in my crust
The pain dormant deep inside my hub
All these will come to an end
But still it can't be forgotten as I got streaks which I can't obliterate
Whatever the outcome is I won't plug up
I'll do my best with my utmost audacity
And just as you know I'll never give up.

Soft Horizon

The breeze of silken dawn blew free,
scintillation of stars so many more to see.
Tide of time by flow in crystal serenity,
low blooming glistening deep alchemy.
Sparkling arches dispensing mirage,
eternal fountain flow of soul to soul courage.
Distinct dark blue sphere overhead,
vivid lights leaping in that grace of spread.
Realm of pleasance observing prime,
dazed vision unaware by the same.
The almightiest sensitive obscurities,
dewy dawn of timeless memories.
Gleaming wealth of open hearts confined,
longing richness in the garden of mind.
In sweet dreams and by soft gentle kiss,
eternal imprint of what we miss.
The light in that great presence and cope,
hands that feel like the glow in infants hope.

Premium MemberGraceful Gratitude

Angels altruism all around
Beyond beautiful blessings
Creating, captivating, charming
Determining dreams decorum
Enlightening energy exclusively
Forever feeling freedom’s flow
Growing grace glows gradually
Happiness healing heavenlies
Imagination instilling inspiration
Jasmine jokingly jovial joyousness
Keeping kindness kindled keenly
Love lighting liquid labors lamp
Miracles mystifying mysteries mind
Newness noticing nice, normal naivety 
Observing open obsessions obscurities
Praising peaceful presences phenomena
Quietly quivering, quoting quests
Remembering rich, radiant rainwaters
Still, small songbirds soothing serenity
Truths told to testify tremendous types
Understanding united under ultimatums
Vulnerabilities vibrating vehemently
Warm welcomes warranting wishes
Xantheins xeroxed xanthenes xenias
Yesterday’s years, yearnings yielded
Zippiest, zaniest zones zigzagging zealots
