Best Turbulence Poems

 The voices grow louder,
Intensifying with emotion, anger lining every aggressive word.
My insides squeeze tighter as the vitriol poisons my mind,
How does such hostility exist?
As the sound of hatred deepens,
The feelings strengthen their grip, like a vice,
So tight, I can no longer breathe

All the negative...

Darkened clouds--in cobalt blue morning sky 

A terror of tears-- in reigning happy smiles

A loving heart's bold acclaim--grief's its strength

Neighborhood of vibrant mind--a colony of fears

Sullen memoirs unfolding--an old book of life

Night's ruptured dreams-- a gift forlorn

Life's turbulence has dreary shapes and sounds

God, I am overwhelmed within me,
But you are merciful everlastingly
You release your sincere spirit of shameless serenity
And you wash me thoroughly with it wholeheartedly,
For I've been lost for many a year
I must grin in gladness ear to ear
Fill my bathtub with cheer,
Oh waters of Aphradere

I...

Villanelle : Nations barely survive the turbulence of international events

Nations barely survive the turbulence of international events
Yet end up like interpersonal relations with other nations
Nations rise and fall yet some hardly ever merit compliments

What great Luxuor grandeur falls now to Egyptian peasants
The glory of five...

In lovers’ tender times of togetherness,  
They share sweet, soothing whispers,  
With smiles blooming wider than blossoms,  
Their joy, a kind beyond all measures.

But when love begins to fade within the heart,  
And jabs and pokes cause feelings to sneeze, ...

At expense of our mind
Treasures out, nothing in.

Eyes to a back hand
Wipe away my tears
Swipe me a clean slate
Abondon my abusive years
Closed ears to a focused mind
An insomniac's cry for a dream
Murmurs of a silent heart
Even in peace there's no coma

Momentum to a mountain
Giant steps of a global catastrophe
The broken handle of...

In the air, a warning
Lets us know what to expect.
Sit and fasten seatbelts!
Says the captain’s voice, direct.

We close our eyes or take a breath
And try our best to chill,
While making sure our coffee
Or tomato juice won’t spill.

But whether we are calm or not
We have to...

Is this as far as we go?

This seemingly promising egg

Laid by the keen hopes of love

Rearing deliberate cracks...



Is this how far froth

Kisses my feet?

Will not come much further

And envelope my entirety in it's grasp?



Is this the end of promised

Rain on drought?

See, how deep the dryness

Has...

Being me is a very lengthy story of hard times
I surely will tell why and why it is very uneasy
I dream a lot, never willing to change, just because
To me breathing in air is somewhat stressful
I do not question, nor want to know why
I just...

I confess it’s better everyday.
Since you have swung your heart my way.
Rock bottom seemed to have no floor.
Then dove into the bleak abyss.
Blinded till I drowned amidst.
Light leading to the lamp-post at your door.

Step inside your space unknown.
Painting the room, coloring stone.
Then getting better became...

life forces in night skies
winds that howl in blue whimsy

gods blowing midnight stars about
stirring brews of celestial harmony

unrehearsed they swirl and whirl
churning turbulence in a vignette 

perform their euphony of a ballet
volatile they cavort and pirouette

tossing around their glitter
spinning in a dance
wild commotion
in my mind

When both my feet don’t touch the ground
Lightheadedness proves overwhelming
Turbulent thoughts going while coming
They swirl about me round and round

Cloaked in black a moonless night
The howling dreadful spiteful wind prevails
Spellbound drags me over hills and vales
Like a ragdoll in the midst of a bullfight

Trails of...
