Transient Poems

But A Transient

Joy
cannot last
Few moments
contain
The unbridled
feeling
Euphoria
claims

Joy
but a transient
It comes
and it goes
Resetting
our wishes
To bask
— in its glow

Transient Impermanent

Transient Impermanent

cherry blossoms burst
a breeze scatters petals down
denuded branches alight

echoes of bells shrill
in quiet quelled silent shrine
no one ever came

empty teacup warm
with steaming curls baited breath
never rose at all

an old pine tree that
has seen it all befall before
still waiting for snow

moonlit pond reflects
a timeline, now intransient
none ever looked up

old pond ripples fade
the leap of a

Envisage

How would you like to envisage this transience,
now, that you have ascended this mortal realm;
Thousands of references under your options
now choose, with your gifted conscience.

How about the reference of an orphan
sheltered under the rich's shade,
wandering in the streets of merry families,
disappering as the nights fade?

Maybe the angle of a just born lover,
waiting patiently by her

Transient

It's a nomad attempting to mark his home,
Fitting himself where he doesn't belong.
Millions have attempted to follow suit,
Now, concealed deep, nourishing roots.
Grasping the desire born after desire,
Wanting more than what you require.
In an attempt to consolidate fragility,
Bound to vanish in a dimension of futility.
May look like it's all yours, but drifting faster,
The sun will still

Transient Pastures

"As furry as sheep’s clothing; 
It’s thick, fluffy, and profuse.
As timid as a white woolly.
I think it all fits you.

The greener the pasture, 
The greener the opportunities await. 
But friends don’t compete for one blade of grass,
For meadows are as vast as fates.

As evergreen as mountains, 
Beautiful friendships grow eternal.
 But there are leaves that

We are but transient breezes, subtle specters

We are but transient breezes, subtle specters,
On this ancient soil, so dense, so tangible,
Yet fleeting seagulls of smoke in nature's hands,
A curtain's sway when the final act concludes,
Departing from mortality's sharp incision, we leave without armors,
Simply empty shells, extinguished echoes on the shores of oblivion,
Bearing the secretive seal of a destiny towards the void.
How much

Motionality

if I could but reach 
        a little bit further,

the Baltic winds, the Irish Sea,
not even the Atlantic

could my need for misgivings divide

what a trespass to be whole! 
let no thing restore my soul

not swells of madness,
        nor gladness proliferating
in form

A Lump of Clay With a Transient Name

The undying Artificer with His holy hand
Formed a lump of clay into living figurine,
Human Being, by name of its mortal brand.
It fell into this earth from heavenly shrine.

The creature of clay packed the empty earth
With its disparate footsteps, singular self
And grew into Races, dyed in Colour of birth.
It drenched itself in particles of lethal pelf.

Transient Souls: Embracing the Universe's Decree

In the realm where transient souls entwine,
Heartfelt strides, messages divine.
Though fleeting, your presence stirs my soul,
In the universe's decree, we find our role.

With threads delicate, a tapestry we weave,
Our encounter, a tale that yearns to cleave.
A celestial sigh, a moment soaring high,
Our spirits ascend, touching the sky.

Even if your stay is but a fleeting glance,
I

Struggle Is Transient

Her pleas fall on deaf ears.
Ignoring her groan.
Her children are not stirred by her plight.
How long can she hold out?
It turned out wagerer that she went away.
But it's a touch depressing.
I foresaw her need for downtime.
For a stronger and successful comeback.
To reflower and gain power, she needs time.
Flowers of a bygone era lie dead.
In a

Transient Pass

Nothing on earth is infinite,
Nothing can hold back the night,
All are like dew,
Only stay in time a few,
Every life has its season,
Every dawn comes with a reason,
Beauty fades like a leaf,
Brings in a moment of grief.

Winter On Gypsy Road

I’ve seen you in warm tender of blanket 
With the hug of frosty night you slept fair
Thru the pinky neon light came there a cat
Coolness of dark city snubbed its care

The grogshop closed the door of thirsty wine
Jazz music went too far ended the night
With the rising sun the dew smoked in brine
Blue jay crest

Transient Huitain

More than a little bit transient 
except when I look in your eyes; 
My soul frozen by your cement
grounded by faith my spirit flies; 
Balance is what you emphasize 
without a ‘you’ there is no ‘me’;
Our lows are the flip side of highs, 
the yin yang of apostrophe.
