Tempests Poems - Poems about Tempests


Premium Member a tempest for the almanac
The evening stars were gone, replaced by a spreading, ominous purple bruise of cloud. When the wind rose, in sudden violent crisscrossing gusts, everything went into motion. White cabanas shook, like staked swans flapping to fly, lavender bushes thrashed their thorny arms as if in panic, umbrella pines creaked and writhed like tethered balloons. Lightning lit the winding, stony stairs, like ornamental neon lights,...

Premium Member Springs Tempests
In early spring some years ago, I awoke to a shocking scene, for angry winds chose to blow across my lovely lawn of green. Through the window I did see, scattered across my whole front lawn, my gutter covers had been freed, from the gutters that they'd been on. Then I looked at the neighborhood, scanned all up and down my road, boxes, plastic, pieces...

Untouched By Tempests
A drug crazed world spins on ever faster. Bodies tumble out of that carousel never to be seen again. Once whirling dervishes twirled now they stagger and fall drunkenly. Molestation hangs in the air drooling its perilous lava. All control is folly, and yet... this morning I sip at a mug of Columbian one hand to pick up a casino bought fob watch, I let its fake...

Of Squalls and Tempests
You begin to see yourself as being shaped by oceanic-waves. Dressed in the muscle and fiber of restless storms. A swish of a garment, the high hem of a skirt pulls you into her flesh. Sex remakes you into something you do not recognize. A storm propels you, a womb once pushed you, into a tabular rasa, just so all the elements of fire,...

Why must I beg pardon? Has been our great question; When you and I battle, Vessels at home rattle; I say yes; you say no, Matters so silly though; I swear; you swear; sourly, Dogs and cats laugh wholly... You are old; I am old, Our looks have turned ice-cold; Ego, yet, like a spring, In us, plays monarch-swing... When we ask each other, At end...

Premium Member Life's Tempests
We ride the waves of innocence on the ocean of The Now From the depths of dank the evil stalks our bow It's little that we can do to keep all our decks so clear For in our minds as we list each way the demons are right here Storms rage from time to time, yes they come and go When the next one pops...

Premium Member Tempests In Teapots
I'm not out to change my world or yours, but I do believe we are in this world together to refine our collective regenerate health status, to resolve our climate therapies for healthier economies and politics of mind and body ecologies. I am thinking of not even being in any more for those who only have a yearn for climate change, as this is...

Premium Member Tempests That Eat Upon Stony Shores
Tempests That Eat Upon Stony Shores There lay hidden- shadows in a great storm tempest that eats upon this stony shore. Night hiding devils wrecking such great harm destroying in our hearts we most adore! Waves crash into massive rocks that so shield playgrounds of ivory sanded beaches. Harsh winds beating the flowers in bright field all are savaged as its darkness reaches! Memories...

Tempests May Come
I'm weaker than you And just as frightened. I have cowed and hoarded While you braved harsh years Holding back nothing. Your pilgrimage cannot be appropriated or diluted You journey to please No One but your Gods. You understood from fledgling human connaissance Your body and extended Body are but vessels That They may guide your soul. I don't know how to help you And in...

Tempests
Destructiveness is what was left for me To pick through the pieces of misery, love, and fear You led me astray to that path Where your arches opened under a veil of disguises Where darkness took me far away from myself Left, was an empty shell of a beautiful soul A serene spirit in the eye of a storm Who succumbed...

Raptured Tempests
Verbose crystalled tears bestride Flaring high on ornately veined clouds Racking thunderclaps fracture the horizon Protesting the abdication of daylight Here the morose summer showers weep In heavy erosion washing yesterdays pains An ascending dusk pursues the mislay moon Lost in the felled bodies chafing the steely skies Phantoms murmur atop flamed winged steeds Dancing on the peaks of the worlds rooftop Tombs satiated...
