Long Eye of the hurricane Poems

A born lioness my untamed heart? ha! 
a mouse, this pulsing token ruled by unruly wants
at times given, traded or stolen - sometimes
thrown down on a dare to be won or lost 
till it became...

I CAN’T BREATHE

I am being suffocated by causes.
Will we march Quixote-like
enraged by the spinning of the windmills?
We protest the wars carrying placards
while expecting others to carry arms,
praise God and worship Jesus while
condemning all others to...

The Eye of the Hurricane

 When all conditions have come together
And we have taken notice of the strength 
We like to name them and keep track
Of them moving across the ocean floors
The eye is considered...

THE DALLAS COWBOYS

Can you not hear the rumblings of that distant herd coming,
The loud thundering of destiny’s champions crossing, the NFL
Field of dreams, beware the rampaging lightening team known
As the Dallas Cowboys, for they are...

Here are some questions, dear poets on Poetry Soup. As we look in within, we may find answers we have been looking for, beyond narrow conditioning and dogmatic beliefs. There can be more than one...

Resurrections lone fallen spiritual being, kneeling within the darkness of mine
Own tormented soul, broken, fractured at fetters ivory appendages, a flightless
Angelic Dark winged angel standing alone, weeping in the nights blackened clouds of utter blindness,...

Soon I will be traveling      
To the valley of the stars 
And the shoreline of the Milky Way
Where near connects to far.

My senses fading rapidly
As darkness closes in
Like a fog...

The bayou sky flies a catfish moon over swamp gators 
And cottonmouth vipers. Accordions, fiddles, and rub board vests 
Make their ramble through the undergrowth hot on the trail
Of a sultry midsummer house party in...

Run, jump and frolic with childhood abandonment,
Grab down, that dusty old mason jar, recapture
The lightening in the bottle, of yesteryear’s remembrance.
Refresh one's youthful heart, in the memories evergreen
Pastures called imagination.
In the meadows of human thought,...

Spirit voices echo        
In the hills above my eyes
I can hear them calling out 
To the ground and to the skies

Indifferently moving
Slowly passing through
The leaves on the trees...

Safe, at long last,
behind closed, locked doors and windows,
behind heavy, hanging, purple drapery:
plush, pellucid, subterranean refuge.

Far from the proverbial maddening crowd,
out of sight: a dimly lit room, bathed in
soft, golden reflections.  In the centre...

  As I stare up at the sky and just wonder why, what went wrong while growing...

Laughter rings out,
At the idiocy shared,
Palms slap together,
As jokes only us understand,
Bring about mirth,
Secret glances shared,
As knowing smiles grow on our faces,
Thoughts expressed,
As if minds were one,
Mannerisms from the other,
Adopted without knowing,
Compromises made, 
With no...

Lightening flashes
and thunder crashes,
    Rains flow
and winds blow.

The Storm is upon me
and I’m caught unprepared.

Such thoughts I’m thinking
    and feelings I’m feeling – 
    as never...

The one link to reality,
The beacon in the storm,
The eye of a hurricane,
The calming of chaos,
During the storm,
When the hurricane rages on,
The help comes along,
The rest,
Under the wings,
Is the eye of the eye of the...

found within the many
rather than the few
the hope of wrongdoing

(happenings which may have no explanation
worthy of the damage done
to self, to family, to friends
spontaneously aroused by 
incessant turmoil whose cause
cannot be determined to be
any one...

Tossed about through the turbulence of life,
    Confusion remains to search for a seed.
As if the eye of the hurricane seeks direction,

Snuck out of the house to see my boyfriend that night.
Neighborhood dogs charged barking. Instilling such a fright.

Stepped into a mud puddle. My foot became stuck.
His cousins took up what little room there would have...

The lights went out.
The trees were torn.
The sky was gray.
The night was born.
The lightning crashed.
The thunder roared.

We were caught in the eye of the hurricane.
We were caught in the eye of the storm.
We were caught...

I thought I was lucky, 
but I didnt know better.

If I could go back
Erase time
I wipe the tears that stain my very face
I have a hard time to stop and try to replace
The memory remains
The pain stands still

Five letters to cover a million,
A nonchalant approach to spilled ink on a page,
A casual glance at the sky to depict rain,
When standing in the eye of a hurricane,
Fear not little bird you're still safe...
