Best Firefly Poems

It is dark, no moon, no light
Just darkness, a starless sky
The wind blows, the waves break
A single firefly passes by
...

Budger of history Brake of time You Bomb
Toy of universe Grandest of all snatched sky I cannot hate you
...

Then a hermit, who visited the city once a year, came forth and said, 'Speak to us of Pleasure.'

And he answered, saying:
...

Bird perched, Branch fell
Bird thought, “I did”.
Hen cackled, Sun Rose
Hen thought, “I did”.

The firefly's flame
Is something for which science has no name
I can think of nothing eerier
Than flying around with an unidentified glow on a
...

Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white;
Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk;
Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font;
The firefly wakens, waken thou with me.
...

God, make my words a firefly
God, make my conversation a butterfly
God, make my footsteps a path
God, make me fragrance of flowers
...

The moon stared hiding itself,
The night was sitting
Nude in the balcony
...

It is time for me to go, mother; I am going.
When in the paling darkness of the lonely dawn you stretch out
your arms for your baby in the bed, I shall say, "Baby is not
here!"-mother, I am going.
...

Outside the sky is light with stars;
There's a hollow roaring from the sea.
And, alas! for the little almond flowers,
The wind is shaking the almond tree.
...

Before those cruel twins whom at one birth
Incestuous Change bore to her father Time,
Error and Truth, had hunted from the earth
All those bright natures which adorned its prime,
...

A black cat among roses,
Phlox, lilac-misted under a first-quarter moon,
The sweet smells of heliotrope and night-scented stock.
The garden is very still,

NOW sleeps the crimson petal, now the white;
Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk;
Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font:
...

O lamb of gleaming richness!
listen to firefly’s happiness
it moves the audience
to reject unbalance
...

Through throats where many rivers meet, the curlews cry,
Under the conceiving moon, on the high chalk hill,

A Song in Chinese Tapestries


"How, how," he said. "Friend Chang," I said,
...

A prince I was, blue-eyed, and fair in face,
Of temper amorous, as the first of May,
With lengths of yellow ringlet, like a girl,
For on my cradle shone the Northern star.
...

“Mother of heaven, regina of the clouds,
O sceptre of the sun, crown of the moon,
There is not nothing, no, no, never nothing,

Before going to bed

The Gentle Firefly
...

If I could catch the green lantern of the firefly
I could see to write you a letter.
...

sprinkling dance like a pouring snow
fluttering flute decorate a flurry show
tribal trance soothe a shy fellow
sol sol la do mi re fa la si do
...

I won't let go, I won't leave,
I'll hold on cuz i believe.
When i'm faced by a stormy and cold night,
a candle of faith in my heart i'll light.
...

Love is a rebellious raven
That nobody can tame
Nothing helps, neither threat nor prayer
One man talks well to someone else dreams
...

Little baby firefly
when your night is through
does your mommy tuck you in
and tell you she loves you?
...

A butterfly died of a heart attack
While you were laughing on the window
Catfish jumped on the bank of a tank
Cool sleeping dog shaking dreams like tail.
...

I sit by the window, my eyes
Focused on the darkening sky
Thunder pealing from the clouds,
Wind roaring and growling
...

The gentle breezes,
that blow warm in you hair,
is of the whispering winds of the words,
of my passion,
...

Look to the future
Detach from the past
Let the people go
Start a new this time
...

When rivers run cold, it makes you wonder if they were ever warm
Why we ever went skinny-dipping, swam naked in a thunderstorm
When fires turn to ashes, it makes you wonder did they ever burn.
Why was the air sulphur every other silent nocturne?
...

As the boat
yaws

foam hits us
...

She loved him
With all the passion
she was bestowed with,
surrendered her wishes
...

Do not shoo off the harbinger of love
Approaching your imperial yard, with a
Coveted message gently pressed to its fluffy chest.
...

Behold me, in my chiffon, gauze, and tinsel,
Flitting out of the shadow into the spotlight,
And into the shadow again, without a whisper!-
...

Into the thousands megaton moon-light
A pretty cool dream lying on the orchid petals
in an evening
...

'THEY made her a grave too cold and damp
For a soul so warm and true;
And she's gone to the Lake of the Dismal Swamp,
...

No wonder this moon is in love with the earth,
Together, they do the tango dance every night,
Holding the moonbeams these pines leaf shine,
The wave of the sea lifts up erotically,
...

Luminescent Firefly, so bright,
Like a tiny lamp, gentle and light,
Lightening the dark, mystical night,
Luminous, joyful, radiant white,
...

Behold me, in my chiffon, gauze, and tinsel,
Flitting out of the shadow into the spotlight,
And into the shadow again, without a whisper!--
Firefly's my name, I am evanescent.
...

This fear is killing all of us,
ups and downs of life is measured in fear,
The fear is making life miserable,
A quantum fear takes solid toll on present and future!
...

Once,
the Sun flower fell in love
with a glowworm.
...

You're so very beautiful I wish I had four eyes,
Four hands to hold and two wings to fly
I could capture your smile which captivates me.
The parting of your lips and the blink of your eyes.
...

Firefly
Small your light
It takes the glow of many
To mark the night.
...

Don't try to hurt
Bullet-proof mind that puts on iron-curtain
Bayonet-sentences will fall back.
...

(a firefly)

Put that imagination away before you hurt someone.
...

I dream of floating away on a cloud
I dream of catching a falling star
I dream of my prince charming
I dream of how I'll save him from the dragon
...

closing my eyes I sleep
body floating in darkness
without substance
whether I lay up or down
...

The twinkling of stars on a warm night,
The cries of geese as they take flight,
I look passionately in hope towards the sky,
As the firefly flutters with blinkering sight.
...

Neither holding hands nor any kiss
Neither making love nor any caress
I want to put my mind on your mind.
...

How many times have we been interrupted
Just as I was about to make up a story for you!
One time it was because we suddenly saw a firefly
...

What's happening or to be happened
On the other bank of the river?

Is there any modest bonsai well and good-
...

The night whispers,
all the hidden treasure are for you,
Barren and uncovered.
...

The messenger has brought the news
Love in the heart has aches of longing
Firefly of the night for the nightingale
In the day for the song in sweet tongue
...

'Twas the height of the fete when we quitted the riot,
And quietly stole to the terrace alone,
Where, pale as the lovers that ever swear by it,
...

To drive Paul out of any lumber camp
All that was needed was to say to him,
'How is the wife, Paul?'- and he'd disappear.
...

(dedicated to Ms. Hilary Hahn, a great violinist)

beloved butterfly
fly around, fly

Budger of history Brake of time You Bomb
Toy of universe Grandest of all snatched sky I cannot hate you
Do I hate the mischievous thunderbolt the jawbone of an ass
The bumpy club of One Million B.C. the mace the flail the axe
...

Placid the place
.....................where we meet secretly.
Our hidden oasis,
............................ thick with love-dust
...

She is that seed,
which bore this humongous tree, and,
also the keeper who drained out her riches to all;
And we awarded her with blames of providing less.
...

a train's slow bellow
pushing through the city sounds
complains of loneliness
...

...

Away, ye muses, all away!
Away with songs of finch and fay.
Away the jaundiced sight
That magnifies the firefly’s light
...

On an Autumn's night
with a pledge of voluntary insomnia,
your firefly memories fly across the room
where the nightstand light is always kept off.
...

in the darkest night
we maintain the same silence
as soul and body
firefly flashes the spark out
...

I passed an inland-cliff precipitate;
From tiny caves peeped many a soot-black poll;
In each a mother-martin sat elate,
And of the news delivered her small soul.
...

I talk to dragonfly
Why he seems so sad
Otherwise after receiving
A candy from the smiling angel
...

Silent he,
the Sentinel Dad,
rampart high,
just beyond emotion's walls-
...

Oh you precious firefly,
Holding yourself in low esteem
Your light is flashing the loveliest glow,
With a spell of lemon green
...

'Tis a woodland enchanted!
By no sadder spirit
Than blackbirds and thrushes,
That whistle to cheer it
All day in the bushes.
...

Kept on compromising on life
kept reciting poetry, kept blazing

I burned down with the lamps
Your arrival was only a dream
...

1. Every day
Sun walks for moon
Infinity pathway.
...

1. Love loves love-
Dinner finished
Put off lights.
...

Tonight I can write for a thousand nights,
long stories sink, silent as water and as light.
Outside, who is catching the footprints of summer wind?
A smile, maybe a firefly, is flashing by.
...

green blade sways softly
white thread weaves through tall grasses
red rose blooms alone
...

Here, in the twilight, at the well-known gate
I linger, with no heart to enter more.
Among the elm-tops the autumnal air
...

Opening door I'll go to mango-garden
And pick-up babyhood
When the morn yarns and brushes teeth
On the stem of neem tree.
...

Sky suffers from acidity
Eats moon at night like
An anti-acid tablet
When we enter
...

Let's start from nail
Finger is the pathway to reach the palm.

Warm fingers caress warm fingers
...

You can fly and follow the stars
you don't have to cry
you don't have to crawl
you don't have to feel unbalanced and fall or be small
...

Between the vision of the Tourist Board and the true
Paradise lies the desert where Isaiah's elations
force a rose from the sand. The thirty-third canto
...

Fireflies in the rose garden
Evenings cover a blanket of black
Locked securely over the galaxy
To the moon and all the way back;
...

saved the mother earth, and witness the glooming
sky, as its dawning morn invites to come; calling the
humming birds laid the sweeten humid morning
midst of the trunk it’s lay
...

Can someone bring me my entire being?
My arms, my eyes, my face?

I am a river flowing into the wrong sea
If only someone could restore me to the desert
...

Mystified by a tiny firefly
I gazed in childlike trance
The magical flickering lights -
Did it carry in its hands?
...

It is that we take this space
and weave its lines
into paper thin gauzy scenarios
where I take your mouth
...

Who yarns in the morn on a tub
Smiles on the road under a litchi tree
Shies to open eyelids if sun stops beaming
Hesitates to move keeping zero pase?
...

Cuckoo sings- a single leaf falls on the grass
Sound wakes up without noise.

Night passes very slowly
...

In your happiness and in your sad moments
Life will surprise you, whatever you do
Time will steal everything you own
You will be left with crown of clown.
...

Dressed up for the mating night,
Never known it's for two weeks delight,
Rolled and sucked all alive under the earth,
The small lights even in the eggs, glow under the dark.
...

Firefly

A firefly I've never seen
but, if I had I'm sure it be
...

I heard a melody in the rose
I was a dreaming child
asleep beneath the apple tree
wandering amid wonders
...

One bit deep desire sails in the sky as a hawk
One bit feeling shooting in the blood cell
One bit dream painting leaves on canvas
One bit trust blooms on the air like perfume.
...

...

It is scribbled along the body
Impossible even to say a word

An alphabet has been stored beneath the ground
...

like wind... like sand...
as illusion as firefly
flying over cold sea
...

the firefly which is a beetle
leaves my heart torn and feeble.

it came into my life with its bright light.
...

as the waves conquer, the ocean floor, and the water kisses
the river stream, the joy that lingers in my twinkling heart, makes
my whispering soul, to rejoice in your soul
...

As they end their search
for fireflies with only three in the jar
I realize summer is nearing its end.
The signs are all around me.
...
