Best Tempestuously Poems


Direction
I hope you smile, when you remember me. 
Once a fleeting while, a thought of what could be. 
I don’t mind the pain, a dulling sense of being. 
Omnipotence to gain, yet a constant thought of fleeing. 
Staring down the side, an end to the...

The Beauty About Imperfections
The smell of either soil or concrete after the rain is breathtaking
The sight of the sky and the birds on a warm day is amazing 
The sound of the wind blowing dry leaves is astonishing 
The sight of blossoming flowers is unmatched 
But the smell...

Forgotten Memories
Tonight the shore is pounded by the fretful, roiling surf, 
dark clouds tempestuously race across a yellow moon; 
the ocean's breast heaves a heaviness of bitter tears   
flinging gray shadowed sobs against silent, white-faced dunes    

Far across deep seated waters,...

Premium Member Marriage Proposal
Moment I had waited whole my life,
Through my joys and bounds of strife,
Will it happen not or will it be,
That he proposes to marry me ?

The first day as our eyes carved,
For togetherness as if they starved,
Wasn't sure the day would be,
That he proposes to...

The Belly of the Root
I finished my work early  this morning 
and went outdoors to exercise 
I jogged around the circle for a while
and  observed  a few things happening outside
A pickup truck parked on the edge of the street
As soon as went out it drove in...

Premium Member When Passion Overwhelms
When Passion overwhelms



Passion my weakness that tends to overpower,
as if I am living only to nurture love and hover?
Logical thoughts beating and buzzing in head,
my biggest strength, words are better unsaid !
Heart full of love pumps into my farthest cell,
yearnings sizzling hot that refuse a...

Premium Member The Ordainment
The chilled musky air torments the aging Saxon stone;
whistling through the aisles, the sound reverberating
as it sweeps along the colonnade.
Moonlight penetrates ancient glass stained windows,
initiating reflected shadows, as an innocent mind pulsates tempestuously,
he who was called to this place begins to feel his entire body...

Memories On Branches
Early March, warm sunshine entices out
Numerous hidden sprig formed new leaves
From tree bark's yielding grey/brown seeping grout
encrusted branches stirring overhead
A Springtime environment conducive
For chattering chaffinchs' in their twos
Comes helpmate so eagerly to show
In nest mating rituals they enthuse

Herbaceous borders of sweet Summer stock
As high pressure...

Pandora's Jar
"Pandora's Jar" or better 
known as Pandora's box
Did you not hear what vile
things her curiosity unlocked?

Ghostly forms and evils not yet 
known to mankind.
Much like Eve eating from the forbidden
fruit that tempestuously hung from a vine
in her desire to be wise condemned us all
to die.


A...

Stealthy love is
Like cactus in desert
Thriving for dry air,
Grows up tempestuously
A ghost eluding touch....

Premium Member Meeting My Unknown Mother
A cacophony of thoughts swirls in my confused mind.
Yesterday was quiet and peaceful, everything moving
on well-oiled rails.  Suddenly the train of memories 
accelerated and now things will never be as before.

A letter came from a well-known TV presenter.
We found your mother, my friend, he...

Premium Member Relationships
Relationships

Waiting to hear
Just a word,
And a long
Day's wait,
One glimpse
And sun will rise,
Longing to meet
Maybe few minutes,
What a relationship?

Soul to soul 
My dear friend,
A life's play
Even if you betray,
Fine perspective 
If you are receptive,
Time is running out
Unending relay,
Is it earth and clay?

Beyond normal minds
Exists a world,...

THE CREATION OF POETRY
 
From deep inside simmering and covered 
with fragrant sauce, an imaginative dish will 
sometimes bubble up. 

I cover it with clever condiments, taste for flavor 
and serve it with anticipatory delight.
Afterwards, the recipe is unthinkingly discarded.
 
Most times I feel these...
