Earthquakes
Earthquakes
Shaken up my dreams
Shaken up my home
Shaken up my family
Shaken up my body
Destroyed my soul
Destroyed my existence
Destroyed my peace
Destroyed my tranquility
Wiped out my heart
Wiped out my city
Wiped out my country
Wiped out my Nation
Oh earthquake
You destroyed
Everything!

Earthquakes Strike, Causing Pain and Fright
Earthquakes strike, causing pain and fright,
Buildings shake, bringing death to life,
Hopes have been lost in the sad night,
Uncertain time, a time of strife.
The dreams crumble, homes are destroyed,
Many mourn for what they have lost,
Families grieve for what once joyed,
Memories shattered, future tossed.
Through the ruins, a ray of hope,
-The past can never be regained-
People rise, determined

Christchurch Earthquakes Quake
My gaze lowers building to the ground
Multilayers empty landscapes, graffiti, murals.
Past buildings merge into present car parks.
I currently buy my daughters shoes here in this
empty section. We eat here at this lovely restaurant, this fenced off parking rubble. I breakdown and cry outside the WINZ building after inhumane dysfunctional treatment. At least that building

Earthquakes Tonight In Ca
Down from the Sierra they rolled.
Daughter asked, Are you kicking
my chair?
On a big couch, I sat,
Felt absolutely nothing.
There were three in a row.
Of low magnitude.
But she felt it hard.
Usually, earthquakes here,
feel or have a rolling motion.
Tonight, not so!
And no, are not a frightening
sensation.
~Rock and Roll Pangie~

California Earthquakes
What a horrifying two days people in California had,
I was shocked, my breath taken away, so very sad,
For all my poetry soup friends that live there or close,
Hope you are all safe, you must have all with fear froze,
Our prayers are with you, and you are in everyone’s thoughts,
Hope scare for more earthquakes has lessened,

Your Love Is Monumental
Today is an another wobbly morning where I have opened my eyes to collect my pieces and recollect the transient peace of last night which soon gave it's way to a tentative traumatising earthquake and perhaps this morning I found myself lying in the epicentre of breakage , placed perfectly in the centre or our

In the Land of Earthquakes
Why, in the land of earthquakes,
Must we suffer disregard
As pale as lightning?
In a place designed to mingle,
Not connect,
I am a single band of light
Afraid of fading
Lest I meet the wet
Of human contact.
Were I to wane
As ebbing tides
Would I be any less deserving
Of the care
One feels for oceans?
Were I an edifice of stone
Would I

Earthquakes and Volcanoes
Earthquake erupting volcanoes,
And a summer snow storm,
Will anyone heed the warning,
The earth is continuing to warm.
We kill in the name of a deity,
An allegedly merciful being,
And very regrettably,
Don’t cherish the short time we have for living.
Grown men playing a child’s game,
For the obscenely big buck,
And if you are extremely good looking,
You have all the good

Earthquakes
What if I wasn't just someone standing here in front of you?
What if I played a different song with a different tune?
What if it was blackbird and I sang it real soft?
What would happen if I said it was my dads favorite song,
and that before he went I learned to play it
so he

Earthquakes and Tidal Waves
I put my lips to yours ever so slight
You pull me in closer with all of your might
Kissing me while you slip your hand under the cover
Fiddling around downtown, until you discover
An ocean, so beautiful you must take a peek
So you approach cautiously, to find what you seek
You come out, then back in, a little

Earthquakes
We're proud of things we're in control
Relaxed, at ease with daily cares.
We rule ourselves, no fear at all
As we juggle desires and money affairs.
We are not fazed by things that unnerve,
As long as these do not hit us home.
The wayward ones get what they deserve,
We send the needy where they come from.
But there are things
