Short Eyelid Poems

So tired.
cannot lift a foot.
an eyelid, both
came down.
honey...rescue me
save me from myself.
I forgot that all is well....

The flutter of an eyelid
The beating of a heart,
A blushing burning skin-
Knowing words of wisdom
Discerned by prompts within....

eyelid of our single eye blinks
manifesting a piercing bliss surge
rapture spasms sweep us off our feet
do or die, this is how with God we merge...

The beating of a heart,
A blushing burning skin-

Voiced by the Holy Spirit
thoughts made within...

I feel that I am illiterate
At times I can’t get my words to fit
Am I stupid
A lost eyelid
Tired, I don’t think my mind can make it

Quit brimming like an oil lamp,
and roast me dry,

Quit murmuring like a lonely river,
and sink me whole,

body and soul,
in this storm that` s in your eyelid....

The sun peeps out over the horizon
   Sleepy red eyelid, un-java-nated...
Fiery streaks soon emblazon the sky
   Caffeine's supreme
      ~ Full steamy summer's day ahead...

Before the particle disturb, make eyelid protect
Before the triangle, make sides equilateral
Before the obstacle, make hinder simple
Before the knowledge, make skill amaze...

Argh!
Damn phone alarm.
I gulp haste.
I open my school app - like an eyelid.
Invade my sanctuary, virtual tyranny.
Where's my focus?! 
*looking around for my coffee cup*
I feel like a bobble-head....

Images flash before my eyes
From this smooth
Looming surface. 

Words and sounds
Dance on the air
Tickling my ears,
Lulling me to sleep.

I crack open my eye,
Peep out from my eyelid
Just long enough to 

Click...

spin the daylight dizzy on down and if not
then pour it out. 

filling black bean cups
 in the early morning hours.

eyelid liquid expanse.

a slight slender dawn lifts the tile roof 
and warmth is reason and time is holy....

A tear is shed momentarily
It falls from a closed eyelid
Descends towards
the concrete ground
with rapid speed
And splatters into 
a splotched shape
A second tear
descends down the
cheek but is quickly
wiped away with
a damp sleeve....

The night is fingers of the Moon,
when it halves your
daily eyelid
for the dream
( the Death has other name).
But behind the canopy of leaves
of the light tree
it's impossible to distinguish it.

And you smile somehow
like a child....

lulled into a trance

the mere flick of her eyelid ~    

        magnificent spell

SOFTLY    GOODNIGHT


Surrounded  tenderness amid
Endless fragrance  of love.
Finger fur-soft on eyelid
Smooth  as gossamer  glove.


Feather kiss light – flows,
Lifts  hair like breeze – slows,
Breathes warm on breast -
My   true  love’s  - at rest ....

Sometime my heart cries 
It's believes blood red 
My tears flow through my beating heart 
While also flowing down my eyelid to  my cheeks 
My soul cries as my heart beats with tears

The sting of a wasp
Smacked me hard on the eyelid
Can't get rid of itch
Swollen,  scrape is so awful
Wasp drove me nuts; I can't blink

A SMALL VOICE WITHIN
The flutter of an eyelid
The beating of a heart,
A blushing burning skin-
Knowing words of wisdom
Discerned by prompts within.

Depravity’s eye
is looking back
its eyelid heavy
its pigment black

A twisted image
as yet profane
A sinner’s focus
of sharpened pain

Depravity’s eye
will never blink
With tears of sorrow
the devil’s ink

Forever watching
the future past
Its vision poisoned
—by judgment cast

A tear is a drop of the saline, watery fluid 
secreted by the lacrimal glands between the surface of the eye and the eyelid, 
serving to moisten and lubricate these eye parts,
but tears can also develop from a broken heart
or from joy or any of our many emotions.
If tears could be collected they'd fill all our great oceans....

A little bee flew across the sea, to see what he could be
He herd a giraffe with a throaty laugh : still continued on his weigh

If Yew can reed this rite yore a better POET then Eye...

Poised on the end of your finger tip, you open your eyelid wide,
it pops straight onto your iris and you barely even tried.
When it comes to removing it, it’s an entirely different ball game,
you gently try to slide it out and almost end up maimed. 
Why is it something that is so thin, can feel like a brick,
and why can’t you find it when on your eyeball it did stick?...
