Angel in a Whirlwind

Storm of the decade descends upon the day
Torrents of howling rainfall flood the streets
Banshee winds whip trees, waves upon the bay
Gloomy clouds shadow skies – sunlight in retreat.

Today my world spins round and round
Due to a whirlwind of emotions 
There's no gravity at all
I have no center
Will I succumb
To an emotional Hell? 
What will become of 
me? I feel like I will
Cease to be
I'm fading fast
What will become
Of me? Poetry came
To my...

Caught up in a whirlwind, 
whirling and twirling, 
Caught up in a whirlwind 
tossing and turning, 


REFRAIN: 
churning and burning inside my heart. 
tumbled and tossed in a lovers' whirlwind. 
take me away 

. 
Caught up in a daydream, 
wanting and needing, 
Caught up in...

A whirlwind of fire...

Whirlwind courtship.
One morning she woke up
married to someone she’d not met -
an overzealous mother-in-law.
For twenty years now, she’s been 
excluded from his family clan. 
What a blessing in disguise!...

Whirlwind

Up up and away
wind go up in a spiral
lifting everything

Leaves dance in a whirl
flying away with the wind
as it go away

Scattered on the ground
the falling leaves lay crumbled
in heaps, worn and wasted

the whirlwind had left
leaving behind mess
on paths it traversed...

Whirlwind 

eclipse of emotions
shadow her descent

                      Falling 

like a deflated balloon
against the masons hand

Hewn in verse and ancient lore, 
It descends through an open door 
To place its fingers on mortal souls,
On meager pleas on lifeless shoals. 
Far below where creatures dwell,
Its surging scorn is born as rising embers swell.
Small shadows merge where thoughts collect, 
And pierce the...

I am offended 
by your metaphors,
they're vindictive
the way they dangle themselves 
above my heartstrings,
periodically plucking
when one gets tangled in the wind

they just hang there
like an untame pennon
waiting to flap
for blatant recognition

my, how you crave those squalls
with such ravenous gluttony,
gnawing at the pellucid air
as though it...

I'm caught up in another whirlwind. 
It blows me to you without a doubt, 
  tossed here, tossed there, tossed about.
 
Love and lust are both a knife, 
  cutting up
  bits and pieces of my life.
 
What part of my heart...

I have accepted myself, now.

In incompleteness, 
and all flaws.

The bunker was intent, 
on self-destruction. Why 
did you want to 
stop that ?

The prodigy will not 
walk with me, I know.
Yet my shadow falls in love.

A tear-washed poem 
was a good beginning.

Like a whirling dervish he blew into my life
full and fire and desire
a love of life that was contagious
with the smile and laughter, open as a prairie sky
quick to blow into a storm
yet gentle as a summer breeze
he consumed my heart and left me wanting...
