Best Torrent Poems

Money flows in and out like a torrent
Which I find unnerving and very abhorrent
The Golden Years Ha!
Peace and joy ever aft
That's a giggle, my bank account is dormant

Cookie cutter words so
carefully cut and pasted
on me are simply wasted.

Their relevance defunct
so silent deaf and mute
someone else’s route.

This romances brevity
couldn’t even warrant
a freshly cut torrent.

Thoughts on you only
today are freshly writ
not from another’s skit.

Your cycle oft repeated
new color same game
please shame and blame.

Faded far...

Ever flowing
Over-bowling
Borne along,
     Again,
By class-five rapids,
A cataract thro’ jagged crags

There is danger here
Out of (my) control
Guided by Peace 
Protected by Joy
     Himself
The mighty rush of God’s
Poured-out, turbulent love...

A small torrent of moonlight breaches the space between
The window and curtain, giving light to nothing less
Than herself who lives viciously. She's scared,
Not by any spirits, but by demons, an incubus.
Forced to never sleep in fear of dreams, and
Never not tire, as an exhaustion falls...

If my soul had a lip and could kiss,
Then all form of bliss and woe would sprout into,
Your very being like a vibrant tree,
Simply by the kiss and brush of my torrent soul....

Halcyon harp, dry the cloud's tears on Earth.
Don't let its torrent break your strumming strings.
Let your hymn preserve my frail ailerons.
Notice how much a prayer's whimper brings.

Hallelujah is mute from the downpour.
My instrument has become a firearm.
Shall I sing his sanctity through this storm?
Still, my...

Multiple sources
combine forces to create
a mighty current.
Quiet babbling brooks become
a cacophonic thunder.

Arcing in sunlight,
a stone lands with a kerplunk,
sends water skyward.
Swept downstream, it vanishes,
no evidence of impact.

Countless words flood forth:
mirth, anguish, anger, joy, awe.
Cast into the soup,
briefly visible to all,
swept downstream into the void.

The ancient mariner surviving within me
set sail with dreams on the alluring sea,
in search of your yearning secluded shore,
I longed for, but was never there before.

As descending dusk spread a dark shroud, 
in the falling sky swelled up indigo cloud.
From the horizon surged the tempest...

TORRENT HEAT NEEDs RaIn- A Haiku

pelting summertime
a sun, sneers hot terrible 
after the grasses
~
rain down summertime
a cool, wet breeze waters falls
onto the grasses

The ghosts of fear are nesting
glaring clouds that are driven
A procession of baying donkeys
The ponds reflection loudly decries
as gulls shriek for attention

Nighttimes plumage banishes bluish
A torrent of rain flatters
the receiving river
painted by the sunshine
in the days of gold...

A hectic stare across the cliff,
grabs my prying mindfulness.
but yet I  hanker after urban fare,
such ruptured loyalty alas,
has a solid grip as I inhale,
the rampant toxic seaweed odor,
for which release a bland choice,
as bulging dark gray torrents,
remind us of some threat,
a fancy name as...

Fiercely flipping his tiller tail
The king’s snout turns to point the way 
To lead kin from a briny bay
Up a rustic roiling river
Of flowing falls, rough rocks, and banks
Lined with greeting eagles and bears
Set to embrace with beaks and jaws.

Traveling on a fasting diet
The royal...

Hail, O Storm Bringer
Your lightning cracks up the sky
As you roll onward

Your thunder pounds Earth
Trumpeting your arrival
Storm Charioteer

You ride the cold wind
Dark grey clouds your chariot
Winged horses flying

Torrents of cold rain 
To soak a dry, thirsty world
Falling from your eyes

Strong cold winds blasting 
With every...
