Best Existential Poems

'Twas the twilight of the year 
     a twinkling tiara.
December 31st, digits dancing dunes 
     in the Sahara.
One, two, three, one, two, three, 
     it's a prance.
A numerical Irish step dance

Before I scarred the page
Raging what your letters cannot invent
Let me invite you to other books
I wrote before you owed me wage
For all maladjustment and discontent
Tettering on tentacles on hooks
Invite you to an open age
Of change and discourse transfigurment.

In a quiet moment read again
Shards of...

Looking intp the vast algorithmic wilderness we begin our  search for truth...

For in this chaos of digital existence for we navigate 
the maze of virtual connections seeking answers in the 
pixels that....
form our fragmented identities.

Yet, amid the ceaseless chase for productivity we grapple...
 with...

The clock with wings goes up and down.
She sleeps only with backwards time.
The glass circle's bridle around
Her fishtail eyes where dark abounds.
Within the floor, she feels the pound —
Grandfather's face in nighttime shines.
The clock with wings goes up and down.
She sleeps only with backwards time....

An existential poet sat on the beach and lifted up his hand
He saw himself in the universe as a grain of sand
His significance dissolving, he wondered what God planned

Human ingenuity leapfrogs beyond ordinary
Buoying upon wings of intellectual curiosity
Sustaining innovation, creative imagination,
Breaking barriers once thought impenetrable,
Daring to conquer the arduous, unknown~ 
Resistant to understanding, inert to inquiry.

Unfathomable is force of scientific curiosity
That opened doors to discoveries, inventions:

Telescopes that explore the origin of universe,
Space flights...

Ain’t it amazing the way life flows 
Up, down, horizontal, to and fro 
The calm, with the rough, heaven and hell 
Mostly average, but who can tell 
Dreams of happiness, that go astray
Fleeting moments of bliss, perfect days
Desperation, sadness, broken hearts 
Wishing that today, never...

The hour of night unfolds before me like an origami shadow 
and suddenly the stars outsource their light, the moon her glow 
That dark and endless sky before my eyes is holding me in silence 
sheltering my quietude with queried thought I ask, who are...

I emerged / born with a silver pen in hand
…and a tempest raging within.
Words writhe, a serpent's coil
…tightening their grip
A soul adrift in a sea of 
…self-made iniquity.

I buried my daddy 
…in the black shoe
…by the Yew tree
Yes, I, the beekeeper’s daughter
…bearing the weight of...

Let my soul be laid bare
in the open air,
and let lovely flowers grow there....

In borrowed plumes
a masquerade we stage.
Thoughts echo doctrines 
passions are preordained.
From broken families 
where fractured spirits weep
Mothers of soulful sorrow 
With eyes that never sleep.

We inherit canvases 
pre-primed with societal skews.
But the brush trembles in our hand 
Praying for a different magical muse.

Why is contentment...

     The old man's trophy,
        antlers impale my      v i s c e r a l     veins. 
  Love, a moth's wings, ash-dusted, flutters...

A young girl’s voice / lost in the data / cries out
"Why are we here?"

Pixie Pixela... her words soft and low murmurs...
"This world is yours... dear... a garden for stories to grow."
But her digital eyes hold a hidden dark truth.

In polished parades of curated lies
soulless...

It's Warm,
and it feels good and yellow.
It's Bright
and bounces off your eyeball like a trampoline.
It's Loud,
and makes people howl and bellow.
It's Brilliant,
and glistens with a golden sheen.
It's Precious,
and nothing you have can buy it.
Its Hidden,
And it's in everything you see.
Its Simple,
and anyone here can have...

a sun-graced sky
whispers early day
a desire to fly
a sun-graced sky
unknown reasons why
the sun and moon play
a sun-graced sky
whispers early day...
