Sublunary Poems | Examples


Premium MemberThe Arc of Being

Open now your mindful murmured undertones,
Your whispered washing watery whisking words,
Your sensitive sensory sensual sentient moonstones,
Your rippling roving river rapid songbirds.

Open now your stargaze spectral drifting dreams,
Your view of the darkest soundless vacuum space, 
Your fleeting teleport outside of space-time streams,
Your clearest atoms, the first angels with no trace. 

Open now your earliest breaths from the start,
Your trajectory then across the heaven’s girth, 
Your recorded path shapes and sizes your heart,
Your sublunary gushing leaves behind your dearth.

You’re unsure what lurks beyond this flash of seeing.
Karmic lessons might await you for your next being.

The Orb

Of the orb I speak in awe
Of the Moon with its slender claw
Finite in size, elysian in presence, there to watch
Crop the doubt, step up a notch
As is he - facile princeps - a sublunary prince,
Devout and intense ever since
The days of deportation from Attica of North
In the downtown Abaddon he came forth
To denounce neither world in order to live
Only in you could he ever believe.
Yet the stigmata pierced the skin
Grafted the soul infinitely thin
Battles abated but the burden rose
From the nadir of the pith to foreclose
Every chamber of every pore
And then, disappeared into nevermore.
In the dreams I see time and again
A stoic oak tree turned into a cane
An untamed ocean of tenacious fire
Almost silent voices of desire
Composed while whispering into his ear
Go back to Attica of North
Reset in Abaddon where he came forth.

The Destruction of a Disturbed Sublunary World

A shimmer from
Beyond, sparkles in the
Clear, but yet
Dark sky
Everyone's admiration
Fills their minds in awe.
Gangs are on pause, and
Hate appears to not exist.
Is this the end?  Or
Just a dream.
Knowing isn't possible, and
Living isn't definite.
Men are crying and
Nobody feels safe.  The
Ozone becomes visible and
People flee back inside.
Questions are numerous as
Rays shine onto the surface.
Somebody save the Earth, or
Take my life instead.  People hide
Underground and they feel
Voided by God.
With this, a sense of
Xenophobia comes upon everyone.
Your life flashes before you, and
Zero of you survive

The Hummingbird's Quandary

Just out of curiosity,
The honey tone hummingbird
Pierced the blue-sky door, 
As the sublunary creatures 
Perform the sacred moon dance
Dear hummingbird, what is your 
Query or leave us asunder?

Denied, a Poets Night

My affliction with the moon so saturates
With mindful apparition that can be,
Sublunary to the measurement it creates
Phenomenal is the intrigue, extraordinary!

I countenance with patience on this night,
The crescent’s intuition is with haste
Now luminary, the stupor blocks the light,
To opaque further still, Oh what a waste!

I stumble through the gaze of deep lament 
Forbidden by the natural depths, disguise,
As if more agonized, this wet cement,
Substance known to man as patience-wise.

While absence of my being there surrounds
The way the new moon has to be prepared, 
For anything mechanical, this compounds
A means of being invisible or scared.

Horizons’ shallow lower, the moon has gone
Refined to constant thought, tomorrows plan,
It seems without the charm this was withdrawn
And nothing worse than waiting with this man.

It seems the erect hope with utmost pain,
Can future writes describe the poet, thee
Whose patience has been worn to once again.
Notorious, that it wasn’t poetry.

Liberty

file behind she with the the diamond soles, 
drown in the rays of a flowing gown:a star leads the 
camels down the dunes:tramp, wanderer,serf. 

coals that fuel fire:chick and hen,small shrub and big tree, 
lost in a gown:nameless,shrunk. 
thats when they ask you"why"?or"live this way". 
the vines and trendils are climbing,creeping around, 
its a stair, ladder around the green stalk. 

the queen were's those costomised clothes,gown and crown and 
sits on the throne,above,undisputed. 

sure many attires we know:flesh,fur,me and you!!! 
i remember i was taught to climb through a stair,ladder 
but as i look into the sublunary,moon sun star 
i still think otherwise.
