Paused Poems - Poems about Paused

Since the elderly king greatly loved music, his court esteemed it, too; As sun and moon smile on myriad colors, during the butterfly revue. The king was well loved and jolly, with the queen, always by his side. He ruled with caring. Like rainbow hued peaks, where indifference died. His glorious reign had been lengthy, and the vast kingdom...

If tomorrow we never speak again, I hope you still carry the softness of us in your heart. Not the silence that followed, but the warmth in our laughter, the comfort in the way I remembered every little thing about you. We are not enemies, though it aches to see you drift into someone I no longer know. We’re just two people...

In a library where time has paused to rest its heavy wings, two shadows float among the rows like phantoms lost in ink, where smoke rises like memories of a forgotten dream, two souls meet and burn like two stars in the endless night: Your coat carries the scent of absinthe and dreams that drift in melancholy, are you a...

Ruffling the feathers Of your expectations. Rilke to the left. The portrait of Alf The back of my left ear. What unconscionable theives, These Time Czars, Where we live with the scars, As joy bounces on the crevices. I see you in the dark in some cave. Let me be your bombastic populist. The Strong Arm of the Soul. Play in the light of least resistance. My...

The textured page holds my finger Swift memory steals the pause Here I’ll sit and so long linger Again, I’ll wonder who she was Moved as if by a magic wand To soles and autumn leaves Carried back to Walden’s pond Amongst observant trees Its here I held her young hand And wondered what might be There we walked the storied land Now how does...

Medication paused a day the balm of urge then delayed with a will to live without if only for the briefest time until the need comes again sight unseen to other folks yet more present than concerns voiced for the abstinence when that fix to ease the pain sometimes a scratch or bloody gash demands more than platitudes even as they fill the void between damnation and...

A PAUSED GAME It was a rainy evening of May, We were tired of sitting and, Gazing at the downpour. Through the gaps of my fingers, The roaring thunder did crawl in. Tear stained window panes, Waved wide in the winds. At out the windows far, Lay our ground wet with, The cricket game half done. And the bat that was aside, Needed a bath for sure. The...

Stone floors whisper of waterfalls poured through algae, moss, fern sedimentary, limestone layer upon layer formed from steaming warm springs.   This same granite counter once graced by a gazelle - or on its bedrock a jackal howled, a shy marten scurried away. This same stone cut square, smoothed, glazed and laid in some ultra-modern kitchen for imbedded fossils to shine       from fifty million years of nature- a jaguar spirit...
