Sleeplike Poems | Examples


Premium MemberEmbodying The Light

 

Line of inquiry: 

truth imbibed
awaits assimilation
we feel it in our bones
in time dissolved meditation

                     Quote by Unseeking Seeker
 

Merging, blending, assimilating life's truth,
fusing it into my spirit, absorbing;
this the way of my inner mind in mused youth,
that thinking like brittle bones decomposing.

And then, I found pondering meditation,
falling into a profound reverie trance;
in sleeplike states finding my re-creation,
oh, it was a swaying, divine, sublime dance.

My thinking began to scatter and detach,
I needed to find my glowing inner light;
and in contemplation came a light unmatched,
I soak it up ... drinking this beautiful sight.

Premium MemberDrifted Sand

The wind, careless in its airy freedom,
Feverishly furrows the prairie grass.
With a cry like a lost spirit, it winds
And wails through leafless trees and toothless fence
To vent its eager force upon the boards
Of a lonely, weather-beaten farmhouse.

Afternoon sun shines ashen and mottled,
In slim slanting shafts, through a smoky pane,
Opaquely painting a penumbral room.
Dust motes dance before an empty stone hearth.
A man, like a silent sentinel, sits
Dreamless, and loveless, between the bare walls.    

Wearily wringing his wrinkled thin hands,
He sloughs his solitary years away,
Staring sleeplike out an open screen door
Where stands a windmill, in still-life, framed.
Tumbleweeds pile against the west house wall;
And a plough lies broken in drifted sand.

The Wind Blow Carried Me Away

The wind blow carried me away
To a valley, where silence dwelt,
In sleeplike calm, I waited the day
Love would also be carried astray. 
 
He will arrange his arrows and bow
Beside the rose tree where I lay
And listening to a melody low
He would replace the sun’s glow.
 
I would wake up but with my lips 
Dried because he declined me a kiss,
Beneath the hill where night sleeps
To a new dawn, hear the star’s gossips:
 
Love rather be bounded by a chain
Than keep wandering freely in vain.

Dream

The path we had taken together

Full of stones and thorns

Each step was hard and arduous

But my feet never felt the worn

Round the corner the road turned smooth

And then I wished to rest a while

You prodded me to move on

Lest darkness cast its vile

Now as the day grows bright

My tired limbs cry for rest

I know time is short

And you desire to reach your nest

I go through immense pain

Failing to keep up with you

But my heart feels burdened

To be hurdle in your pursuit

I try to be strong

And match each step with you

My love for you the only beacon

That will guide me through

And when we reach your dream

I will lay my head on your chest

Your strong arms around me

Letting me sleeplike a baby my life rest

Love of All.....

Crystallized stardust sparkling eyes
dreams drift trancelike from the sky
millenia pass in a single blink
sleeplike slumber constant wink

Galaxy's spiral whirl of order
womb of the universe breathes it's ardor
from no-thing to something,infinity rings
Angel's of heaven in song they sing

In unison beauty synching sound
as grandfather time toll it's bells
natural mechanics gracefully found
instruments vibrate within' the shell

Soul of the whole in perfect harmony
matrix of life our eventual matrimony.....
