Oscillated Poems | Examples


How to make love to a didgeridoo

Her shocks poured forth like a midnight oil spill,
body buckling like a sapling in a tornado, cracked like a Grecian museum urn. Moonflower extended limb petals, hips arched, limbs touched the nightfall floor. Her firehouse quaked primal.
Waistline oscillated, packed rigid. Gasps defibrillated, beasts fought through tight ribs,
Midriff dilated, injected, probe swelled with force.
Her breath hung heavy, smoke in a chimney,
Drumbeats drumming on her global map, sweat beaded like molten glass.
Weary rasps of elation caterwauling,
guttural sounds spilled from her chest.

Premium MemberRadiant Sunset

The fiery sun was a radiant circle
in the majestic sky.
As it started to dip
beneath the watermark,
an amber blush decorated
the evening sea.
Golden hues 
started dancing on the ocean surface 
turning the water into 
a sparkling mirror.
An illuminated path 
of tinted red and orange streaks
oscillated across the shades 
of azure water.
Rhythmic foamy waves 
were caressing and kissing the shoreline constantly.
Crisp sounds of the rustling palm trees
and loud squawking of Seagulls
added amusement to 
the ocean’s own symphony. 
Flocks of pelicans 
were heading back home
in V-formations.
With the salty ocean breezes, 
the warmth of the blazing spectacular canvas brought
immense gratitude.

Premium MemberIt's Not Byron's Fault, Anyway

Byron didn't wait for me.
Across the hall Becky tried not to look.
Chalk was everywhere.
Knuckles was already suspended.
Trailing the varsity jackets I
Oscillated between chic and irreverent.
Someone yelled, "barf!"
Charades and hustlers cover every inch.
How am I going to find my locker?
Oswald points me to "304."
Oblong and wrong I walk there.
Looking forward, looking backward.

Isley

Far into the north laid his domain
Oscillated by the vanities of life
He sought the principles of para psychology,far from being called ordinary
He grew in wisdom and understanding
Disoriented by nature's demise
He turned away from mother nature

A product of love that never loved
With his heart stuck in his jeans
He walked through pain and hate
Slowly developing his disparity
He gladly disembarked from love's ship
And ran from hate to embrace pain
Far into the east he battled riful

Like a seed slowly germinating
He rose higher on each new defeat
Cursed by the sun and moon,he
Seeked comfort in a cave far north.
Slowly claiming fortune and fame
The whole north turned to ISLEY.

Leaf

frozen leaves
                      bear the marks
                      of betrayal

                      a toss between
                      heaven and earth
                      counts down
                      an oscillated life

                      tonight
                      at my door steps
                      frayed and frozen
                      a leaf take its 
                      last breath

                      dear, forgive me

Urban Poetry

Poetry in motion
is prose 
encapsulated in 
warring thoughts,
notions conceived 
in time oscillated 
flows,
harmonically 
shifting mental 
tides to whence 
the Tasmanian 
wind never blows,
where meditating 
and trancing 
souls,fairly prowls,
like watching the 
future in an 
ancient show,
I swear the 
present is 
abstract,just 
never raw,
My intuition?All 
deja vu's ,makin' 
twelve other 
planets ma other 
home,
sighted a UFO in 
the polar zone,
thought he was 
ma other clone,
till I realise I was 
on monologue 
driftin' with 
extraterrestrials 
longer gone',
so fate played 
foul,the legend  
became of a 
kingdom lost,
an heir to the 
golden native's 
Hercynian throne,
trascended in 
rhyme,lost in 
dextrous wit' 
upon a thousand 
scrolls,
so it became a 
legacy,much like 
Troll,
that 
pathos,evaded 
the script and 
drama faded as 
the Curtain Falls,
and ma mind lost 
touch with 
protocol,
started 
developing a 
labyrinth of finer 
scopes that it 
derailed the train 
of my fibre 
thoughts...
Now am 
here,waiting for 
diviner calls,
wishing on 
asteroids to 
fall,making 
summer snow...

Alphabetical Sense (Incomplete)

Anger always ask against antidote
Billowing blusters break, blindly break
Callous conversations cannot connote
Diligent discourses dilated dispeak
Emeralds emitting energy enthused
Forces fabled fragility fusing
Gravity's greed governless galloping
Homeward, haunted hillsides horrid hues.
Infernal interest in imaginary incidents
Juxtapose jeopardies jostling jeers
Kindred kisses keeping kind Kents
Loving leisures listening long leers
Memories mean mastering messages
Nimble neanderthals nested near Nice
Only orphans oscillated offerings outrages
Pious people pretending pale pumice
Quit questing quarrels, quit quanderies
Rest restores resolutions restive right
Sad soldiers slumber seeking safe-less securities
Tenderly tasking tabulated themes trite
Use, utter untold unctions unto us
Vain victims varnished, vintaged virility
We wander weeping while winds wondrous
X-ray xylophonic ????
Yesterday yearns yielding Yeate's yen
Zeus' zestful ????    zen

Missives From a Pessimist

My youthful friend, when I was a lad 
such as you, I was dismayed to find 
that running a stick across the lathes of a fence 
did not make music. 

My hopes were the regular beat of a stick 
on slats would compose a song. 
It scratched the bright, white paint of the pickets, 
it oscillated my hand, 

it made a noise equal to the rhythm 
of my steps but it did not make music. 
Remember this sad story, my young fellow, 
so that you too will learn; 

life’s expectations should not be too splendid 
for I fear you will find it is the only 
means by which your disappointments 
are diminished.

Evensong

For my sins and everything I ever did or sought to be, 
Contempt and dying to be clever in unfathomed pools of sadness, 
I plumbed each depth and splashed the ether, oscillated shakily, 
Strapped to dark beliefs and definitions, all I gleaned of me was badness.

In my heart I hoarded secrets, guarded, gloated jealously, 
Something touched quiescent feelings, split the stone upon the grave; 
Resurrected dead ambitions with a Lazarus decree 
And in doing so, in side-effect, unearthed a soul to save. 

You did nothing of importance, so you reckoned pensively, 
But if not for you, at close of play, I would have stayed the same; 
Doing penance, going nowhere, shooting blanks haphazardly 
In a thermos of reflection with nowhere to lay the blame. 

In the dusky tones of evensong a plaintive melody 
Croons through mazes in my image and exalts together days; 
So perhaps, by your sweet process, you brought out the best in me, 
And therein must lie the truth, that what we had has worked both ways.
