Undulating Qualms

I.  Sonnet CCLXXVII

With rise and fall for seeking the unrest,
and from a thunder's rise the torment sung
it navigated sternly by request,
the heavens opened wide, the rains begun.
Splattering brought within it, tiny streams,
all paths defined the worst reflecting urge
enough to shelter high into one's dreams
yet low enough to carry on this purge.
We drown beneath the turmoil, though ascent,
has waves surmounting peaks on one deluge
consistency shall transfer less content,
to calm the promised made from each refuge.
The rains are almost like the tears we shed,
enough to show concern with calm ahead. 

II.  Sonnet CCLXXVIII

A reach is made where lecturers hold breath,
once solitude has sensed it surely will,
entice the winds to stay for sudden death
would since, have redirected it, until....
The winds amass coercive forms from source,
each twirling inhibitions to the next
where darker greys transfers to reinforce
to envy the almighty, soon perplexed.
With minimal delight the sun shall cease,
the eavesdrop of a spiral chances thrift
enough to weave devotion than decease
shall start again, before too long, as swift.
If calm were to a feature, thin on ground,
our undulating qualms are safe and sound.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Two exceptional sonnets my friend! Your cadence and rhyming are flawless and your language sublime. BRAVO!! Best wishes, Keith 9PS perhaps you could take a look at 'Nightscapes;' a tribute to T.S. Eliot) Thanks!
