Best Slow Motion Poems

I’m hanging on, as the boat rocks back and forth
Through turbulent, murky waters
Trying to stay afloat, trying to keep steady direction
The wind keeps blowing, the rain keeps pouring
And it seems, there is no end in sight to this havoc
Confusion, questions, lost and alone
Then, my mind...

I want to love you in slow motion
So the world feels our emotion

A love the whole world can see
Frozen in time, just you and me

With a kiss that lasts for days
Witnessed a thousand different ways

Where every second is used
And time itself is confused

'Til eternity gets...

Warm breath on my neck
Arms pulling me close to you
Now, everything slows...

Still clinging onto the hangover of colonialism
with mental independence weighed to a pathetic size of almost zero.
You are a beautiful woman, yet low esteemed like a barbaric savage. 
You are contented with pain because of the availability of opiods.
You constantly shuttle in this nonsense 
with...

My zealous passion for marathons, had me in frequent races,
Striving always for that finish line, and touring many places.

I always seemed to come alive, with cool breezes rushing by,
Feeling footloose and fancy-free, like blackbirds in a blue sky.

And when I crossed the finish line, I...

One slow motion jagged tear
found me after you left me here.
Its wetness sits still upon my face
as I stare at absolutely no place.

What I do live and what I dream
and all sundries fitting in between,
now struggle in a frenzied dance
passing thru, in and out, this...

Had to move back to the city
 the suburbans too sidity  
had me and my feelings and I couldn't even feel it
Got hit with a brick and didn't fidget 
Hard knocks knock sense in ya or knock ya senseless 
My strength is 
within ...

Strolling along the seaside hand in hand stars gleaming,
I pray thee, my love, finds solace in heavenly beauty and love,
As divine-inspired wisdom beams in our minds teeming,
Tender is His hand upon the anointed future He wrote:
The Author and Finisher of time from Him love out...

From the parlor window,
 an old woman looks beyond the decrepit wooden rails
   of the low fence
      Five Rhode Island Reds are grazing around in tall brown grass hunting 
        ...

sometimes I just climb into 
my mind's hollow tree home
where pointless worries 
are not so overgrown

and poetic words bloom 
in a verbal tree orchard 
and those without a lover's lullaby 
are no longer tortured

where unanswered questions
can easily be contemplated
and the swirling milky way time 
is...

I see the world in slow motion
From my tired and sleepy eyes.
I feel the nighttime closing in
Bringing darkness to my skies.

If only the days were longer
and the clouds a little less.
The heart could get stronger
My love I would profess.

Against my weariness I stumble.
In my shadows...

The bra strap drops,

it clings to my shoulder.

Each inhalation makes the fabric vibrate. 

My hair drips water on my chest.

It penetrates the skin and within.

Me sitting on the edge of the bath tub, 

pondering, 

wondering, 

wandering. 

Another strap let loose. 

I unhinge the corset. 

My...

Be prepared all you young'uns
The golden years aren't always golden
Looking ahead when I was younger
Thought, “what a fantastic notion”

Life would be a blast lounging around
Enjoying my life at its best
Sorry to have to burst your bubble
Coz here comes the real test

You wake up early each...

Inch by inch and frame by frame 
Slides spin and flip in light and dark, 
Pass before the moist-eyed filter, 
Snapshot memories creeping by. 
In wordless modes I mouth his name 
And visualise pushchairs in the park, 
Feel the world tilt out of kilter 
As...

Slow motion agonised gravel crunch

Picks and flicks sharp stones under tyres

Glinted handle clicked forward introduces

Arresting view of her beauty polished 

Soft and ready, yet bristled. This is her day 

Ivory plumes escape cancels rear wheel 

momentarily, somebody helps her collect them

Blipping her radiant expression from...
