Short Eloped Poems

Jane's dad was a man of hauteur, 
He employed a guard for his daughter. 
But that bloke was her dream, 
She eloped with him, 
Her father didn't know this suitor!...

woke up
time eloped
slightly down
mostly sloped
dreams persued
never slept alone
memories are jaded
minds
of
stone
no meat
in
a
dry nut
woke up

My poetry skills are becoming highly developed.
And my whole total mind they have enveloped,
Without a doubt,
Mailed them out;
Guess what my wife enticed me so we eloped.

I didn't know
where inspiration went
nor why it absconded!
My desire to write
eloped with my imaginative drive.

A choking crowd,
ideas stayed locked
in my small head
and I didn't know 
how to ease them out....

The Lady Smithy
By: Miracle Man
6/4’2023

The words she used were sharp and pithy,
she had huge arms, her being a smithy.
She didn’t stammer, 
and she had glamour,
She eloped with a man surnamed Withy.

There was once a two-timer named Drew
  He got caught by his bride to be Sue
         Greeted him with a whack
          Turning his left eye black
Then she eloped with his best mate Stew

Preacher, flowers, dresses, cake
Husband, wife, bouquets, music
Maid of Honor, Best Man, rings
Rehearsal dinner

Ill-fitting tux, bad weather
Parents, in-laws arguing
Photographer a no-show
Should have just eloped

Once upon a time in Africa
Dark-land eloped Europe
Then he divorced her face

Now its a bride of a strangeness
But a cannily mystery is alert
Watching from tree-top it is

Its tongue belching flame fire
Arms of thorns extended
Yet children continue to slumber...

The young lovers eloped in the gaudy spring
Vanquishing for aye the foreboding feeling  
Burgeoning in a vehement devotion     
Bonding the two souls with a zeal emotion

Once he ran, a younger man, now he hobbles
   Once he walked, cheerfully talked, now he wobbles

Once he laughed, a breezy updraft, now he cries
   Once he hoped, with the future eloped, now he sighs

Once he looked forward
   ~ Now he looks toward
         The day when he can die...

She wore uncertainty on her shoulder
    hesitation held back her shoes
  Twitches split her left forearm
    these emotions seeped into their news

  Let him explain, she considered
    nerves of steel need not preparation...
  In the pit of a parental boardroom
    one word ~ eloped ~ sealed their doom...

Vibes ride high tide
Inside minds eyes
Spilling up within sky
Limitless without divide

Onward gracious hearts
Beating pumping art
Souls breathe eternally 
Against grain breaking free

Community eloped within thee
Hands fall upwards stoically
Pores elate priceless synergy 
The chemistry the chemistry...

Handsome Blake 

There was once a guy named handsome Blake 
Sally Sue declared he was her one big mistake
               He was really cute
             Got stuck in parachute 
So she ran off and eloped with his twin Drake

Where has it gone?
It's not inside my head.
It is now a ways away
Where sunshine stays and there's 
n'er a fear
A place I made inside my head 
A place that in its nascency  my 
mind just had to steal
Eloped did they, those self-enslaved 
mind and grand idea 
And now I have my mind not
Nor my grand idea
They have runaway...

There once was a girl named Bo
Her dad did not like her beau 
So one day they eloped
But Bo’s dad dashed their hope
He sprang from behind with bolo.

The moon is revealing how someone's light could be eloped, even when there is much need for presence. How can it be sometimes that stars are so cruel to leave the moon alone in between the charismatic sky and earth?Why there is a circle in everything or everything is so confusing?That's why we got at last what we created. At the conclusion, nothing is fixed and nothing is temporary....

She glances
From afore does she stare
Poised passive without motion
Petals grace and glance in glimmer
Dans la roseraie de la vue
Attractive allure into light's lust 
Marinating morning's delectable dew
Entwined is she in the rose's vine
Flowered fluorescence enclosed eloped
Claret joues et l'éclat rose
From the bud doth she now call
Flowered glances doth pollen pose
She glances...
Coeur brisé...

My love and I washed up on the waiting shore
destined to lay our heads on her satin sand.
Distressed from violent seas, we shook to the core,
in wake of destruction, where waves touch the land.

The storm has now passed, my Lord whispered to me.
Gale winds will soon calm and the heavens you'll see.
I searched the horizon for glimmers of hope 
and saw a great aura where stars had eloped....

You left me 
       to go to place unknown
       they told me you eloped
       with someone in the neighborhood
       it was nice you left
       and break my heart to pieces.
        
        You shattered the joy in a life
        you destroy a happiness with your 
        wickedness.
        I have plan to be a man
        to face my pains alone
        because you are not inside me...
        and yes I am a broken man....

I was riding the bus to work
One day,
When the fellow sitting next to me
Turned to say
There’s an interesting article
In the newspaper today.
I looked at him,
My curiosity was roused.
Page seven he he said, if you care to browse.
I unfolded my paper and
Turned to the page.
Two-words caught my eye.
As I started to read,
I scratched my head.
Was this a mistake,
I questioned myself.
But sure enough
It was true
A Pope eloped yesterday afternoon...

A view to look & look again
this landscape drawn from memory lane

A place special to my sweet heart
yet  wher our romance did depart

She wandered away,away
because of words ,I did not say

Too late,too late my heart broke in two
again,again I visit our rendez-vous

Some months i wait & hoped
maybe true had eloped

One day my world opened wide
into each others arms we cried & cried

Our mutual love had not died
my love became my wife & bride....

You’re hieroglyphics 
splashed against the wall
smeared paint
rocks and dirt 
all crumbling 
into the faint cracks
that only I can trace.

You’re a line of dots and dashes
I can’t decipher you at all
spilt gin
shaky kisses
now trembling
a silhouette in bed
that only I can feel.

You’re beads of brail
all the blind can read
thick frayed rope 
A turned stool
still swinging
a soul and sin eloped
that only I can see ... 

and I want to close my eyes....

A lame duck re-emerges 
from water of life, 
after paying for night of clouds.

The sex determines 
the economy of a nation and democracy
writes the future of a man.

Who was bankrupt 
in poor country of rich people ?  
You were the boss of a pavement.

The helplessness of a poetic justice 
was writ large on your face.
A dog was throwing the bone for the poor.

A fierce battle was raging
between the sun and the moon.
The stars have eloped with the winds.

The old man blows softly into his pipe
And the wind he blows floats seemlessly into the night
And is swells and grows as he calls to the light
But the darkness knows that his calling will never alight
It will start and stuck for its ghosts that he calls with his song
but the ghost don't hear they eloped with his love long before
And the ghosts just laugh and on his heart strings they pluck 
Raucous melodies brazenly running amuck
For they know that he in his memories is stuck....
