Slipstream Poems | Examples


Slipstream

The girl drops 
the river;
woman bobs up;
aqua's flatline
on top basement 
blue, then it all,
violet doom, as
temperatue drops
off the girl—
aqua flatline,
sleezy sleet,
water glasses
on her nose,
scrub—
I'm touching
up, up, up.
down that
river before—
beyond swim's
flight; it runs
for the sky—
in someone's 
dead frame,
unseeable bank—
the woman passes
out, dry.

The Slipstream Captures

"The Slipstream Captures"



He speaks of donuts
I see right 
through the (w)hole left...

Left side 
window wide open
one eye on you 

the other opines on 
strange stars that pulsate
and the nebulous horizon
 
empathy rests
right side of mind's bed
everyone dreams of Nirvana

what is Left?

Beginnings
always commence
with an End

Slipstream

Deep meaning 
I cannot say 
Deep streaming 
Showing me.. 
My way 

The four winds 
I saw in my dream 
Showing me.. 
My way 
Slipstream 

An outstretched hand 
Passing by 
Slipstream 
Invisible in a blue sky 

Tumbling over and over 
Passing by, 
caught me 
Threw me up high 

Where do you go? 
I cannot say 
Slipstream 
Showing me.. 
My way 

A grain of sand, 
passing by 
An outstretched hand 
Threw me up high 

I cannot always dream 
I cannot say 
Show me... 
My way

Slipstream Flight.

Inhaling of you
A flight into the slipstream
Impending hazardous ascension
Defenseless to her will
I ensue my spirits decree

Once unwaveringly level
Constant and serene arrow
Perpetual steady evolution
Petrified of my altitude
Until you sang to me

No rationale guiding untamed
A pungent hurricane forming
With an effortless zeal
Subduing my heavenly refuge 
In precarious currents

Holding my eyes you control
My capricious whims
Of illogical passions
Sending me to freefall
From dizzying heights

When procuring skyward passage
Forlorn flight my strategy
Our spark a troubled consequence
An opportune panorama heated
We are spirit becoming one

Uninhibited hearts respite
Glassed horizons shatter away
Ascending to heights unexplored
I shall pursue eternally
To a rapture created by us
