Best Turbulent Poems

On love's turbulent sea,
     my steady waves roll in
          and collide with you,
               the unwavering stone

Let us meet in the quietude of the night, 
As the blushing, crimson moon
Rises high and lights the dark deep.
Where mesmerizing mermaids dance,
Celebrating mid-summer merriment.
My wife and I dare not go for a swim
As even in the ebony night 
We could see large fish crossing...

It was a long and turbulent year
Beset with death, war and crime.
Oh! Where do we  journey from here?
Alas, a New Year begins its chimes.

Last January misfortune began
North Korea captured the Pueblo ship
While Americans soldiers died in Vietnam
The Hippies embraced the LSD trip.

Chaos and dissent...

it looks humble 
but harbors trouble. 
a pregnant silence 
nurtures violence. 
it is threatening, 
it is frightening... 
a silent silence whispers vengeance 
it is worse than an out-spoken uproar....

Turbulent Sea

Sorrow draws me back to this empty beach.
Where my sons used to frolick in the sand.
Both are lost to me. No longer within my reach.
I'll mourn them forever, my big boy, my little man.

I dwell in limbo, for each day I miss them more.
Sweet...

Funny when the marionette turns the table on the puppeteer 
Pull the kite down or release the string so the turbulent wind takes it?

Thou hast no gain any trust,
O'er me your sensitivity crust,
Hast no fiery showing undoubted rust,
Without mercy thou showed blast.

Intensity corrupted thru's silence dart,
Thy had proclaim every doer's love,
Gushing of icy fluid covered thou's heart,
Nor charm and kinder as pure as dove.

Away!Thou not stand kinswomen o'er...

Turbulent waters have flooded the earth.  We watch, we
pray; seemingly helpless as family and friends are swept
away; spewing hate, placing blame, professing truth as
lies and lies as truth.

How far has man fallen when he can no longer disseminate
right from wrong; when rape, murder, pillage...

It's impossible to quiet,
A troubled mind.
With thoughts unwelcome,
And so unkind.

Playing Devils advocate,
For a different view.
Only adds more questions,
Of what is true.

So how do you know,
Without taking it apart?
Though doing so shreds,
A ponderous heart.

Where is the scale,
To balance this weight?
Of unforgiving knowledge,
And unspoken debate.

It's a mystery...

Shadows storming through
Clear night air under stars
I call out to you
The purchased soul of despair
Your universe pocketless
Man-beast, dead curiosities
Terms of disarray, scattered
Among howling winds
Oh, wind that blow
None last silent shadow
Upon and intertwined in storm
Some fathers lost son
His wrath, taken Gods’ love
To perpetrated places with
The dropped...

If the quarrel does not end with turbulent sex,
The woman will scold you and fully confront,
Until you,  apprehend a secret hidden text,
The cause of the quarrel and what all ladies want !...

My stomach's emptier than it ever has been
I can feel the shaking, can't stop the rattling
I said things that I never thought I could ever bring myself to say
You took my hand and held me close, and showed me the way

To your Heaven
This holy turbulence
In...

Cloudy turbulent skys full of destruction,
Clap of thunder the downpour begins,
Sandbags piled up the door,
Waves are lashing the shore,
Flooding begins to start,
The drains can't cope they overflow,
And still the deluge continues,
The sandbags not enough,
Flood water gains access,
Furniture piled up high,
The rain just doesn't care,
Flooding gets...
