Poignant Poems - Poems about Poignant

She appeared beside me before I could climb on the shiny palomino— barefoot, bright-eyed, with a plan already forming behind her charming grin, so naturally I let her canter first and then I’d take the reins. She rode it with unstudied grace and I was mesmerized. We talked of stars and silver ships, of other worlds and Laika— the brave little dog who never came home— but must...

In the stillness of dawn, where shadows softly creep, I find my heart is breaking, in the silence where I weep. Mama, hold back the years, defy the cruel, swift tide, For every beat of your heart is a solace I confide. Your hands, once strong and steady, now tremble with the time, Each line a testament to love, each...

I have seen that house a hundred times, The one upon which the old vine climbs. So poignant and so melancholy, That place had once been the omphali. Now it was abandoned, dark, and drear And seeing it made me shed a tear. I always wondered what sort of joy, And happiness the house did enjoy. Was there pain and hurt and deep...

Somehow I'm holding My breath, counting times In an aquarium Like the golden fish, The knife has sucking blood Under the bottom of the hand Life cries. The voice of the flying bird Dissolved in the evening sky, A naked tree On the falling leafs My heart sinks....

a baseball hides in shadows on the landing glove and bat nowhere to be seen a football perches oddly on the top step helmet and shoes sprawled across the handrail cries of 'nice cut,' 'home run' and 'tough out' have yielded to 'hit 'em harder' and 'touchdown!' soon to migrate indoors to hockey arenas ...

Grow in silence, That I call a reliance; In that no one will choke And break my heart like a joke . It picks me up from the mess; Sh! Hear the nothingness. An escape from the raucous world, And the stories which are themselves curled. Imagination thrives in it; Where the soul feels a certain grit. It gives a meaning to the esse, Sh! Hear...

Poignant pause pairs with enigmatic space Wherein love throbs as omnipresent grace Centre everywhere, circumference where? Ego rested awareness, self-aware Agendaless joy, exiting rat race Love alone is real, so cut to the chase Desires and fears, our purity deface Silence and stillness, inducing prayer Poignant pause pairs Merging by melting, at an easy pace Love and light, radiating from our face Blissful vaporised self, alone...

Pointedly poignant points portend pointillism. Pontiffs pontificate pointless pointers ponderously. Pompous poems populate Pompei pottery potently. Porous *********** portrays Portuguese porta potties. Poppies pop Popeye’s popular popcorn. Populist populism pots ponies properly. Blithering blather blots bloody bleeping blips. Bloomberg blogs bleach bleating bloated blinks. Bluebloods bloom black blackberry bloopers. Bluetooth blizzards blame blurry blackboards. Blithe blighted bladders blatantly block blades. Blazing blasts bleed blooming blenders. Fumbling...

Neither with brutality nor ferocity But with calm resolute tranquility Awareness & attention in tandem Move in the linear time continuum Whilst mind-body is the trumpeter Joyful loving heart is the puppeteer This being what is meant Rise equalling the descent Centre everywhere Circumference nowhere Within the void of every pulse Re-cognition is instantaneous 29-July-2020...

A chorus of boxes hums tonelessly on high rafters where unwieldy boxed and stocked memory realms squirm under drowsy dust just beyond my sight’s reach. On my journey, family, romantic loves, places and friends have deeply dipped me twisted then spun in bleary pieced feeling conditions that time tossed dark-shelved from my vision. But around does come moments of poignant grabs that...

Prize in crisp thrill the path of...
