Best Perfect Storm Poems

from the forest, deep, she came
      like a jaguar, quietly prowling
         drawn there by my late-day flame
   typhoon in the distance howling

black hair with a coal-blue sheen

In an open field of endless, noiseless distance,
Rolling clouds cast an impending gloom;
A welcomed and promised darkness descends.
My eyes shut as I breathe in the aroma,
In anticipation of 
The cleansing that quickly approaches.
I cloak myself in the breeze, as it promises a release..
The cool wind,...

She tried to drown out the noise
of all their mocking laughter.
Booming thunder shook the world
and lightening came quickly after.

She watched the storm above her head
with sadness in her eyes.
The pain had come again like rain
falling from the skies.

Dark gray clouds formed overhead
with no sunlight to...

Beyond the bay the sun peeked over waves;
calm belied what destiny would tell.
A statue peers where sailors served and gave,
so far from Gloucester shores where seagulls yell.
So far from sheltered harbor's gentle swells.
Undaunted sailors dared the Flemish Cap -
too far, as nature mixed a hopeless...

A storm is brewing...

If you listen closely
Hold your breath
Close your eyes
Cock your head
And…really listen,
You’ll hear it –
You’ll hear 
the deafening sound of silence!
There’s a reign of hush
all over the landscape
engulfed in deep shadows,
And your heart starts pounding
You get a feeling of foreboding,
There is no wind
No...

A bluster of transcending obscurity became a moment of weakness. 
Saturated in a tempest of mourning, I sought out the perfect storm.
No violence could save my soul, no silence could whisper relief. 
Only time could release my fear, only clouds could give me ease. 
I...

an imperfect storm
does less harm
than a perfect one
a predilection
for perfection
and I am undone...

Bored with a tawdry sanguine summer
Languidly 
She licks the brilliant summer blue 
            from the sun addicted sky 

Through naughty cloudy lips 
Sucks millenniums of genetic grace from 
Orchestrated flocks of fright
Fleeing down the...

A perfect storm they had created.
Two lovers destined to be mated.
Living life upon the edge.
Forged in crime, their love was pledged.

Wanted posters with each name. 
Loved and feared, the pair became.
Evading law from state to state.
Alas, this was to be their fate.

Romanticized through history.
Sprinkled with...

The perfect storm


rising from the bed
where i pretend i sleep
spotted in a sea
millions of words deep
do i dare to dream?

for years i screamed a warning
through my amplifier pen
my life and love your push and shove
and the places i have been
everything's past tense

there's the way things...

It roared in the skies, as friends and foes
ran for their dear lives. The skies were red
and ember, like a hot coal. Everything miles away in the air,
seemed to burn and fall like poorly fixed Christmas lights;
someone coldly joked that the gods were hibernating -

Fallen deeply roams
Amongst Realms within spaces
Of nuded attire
Enhanced by a matching pair
Received stars on red carpet 

Snapped allured affairs
Of cupids dart shot in sight
Igniting Fire
To which inside shines brightly
Of a perfect storm weathered...
