Stormbound Poems | Examples


Premium MemberStormbound

Gaze out to sea upon blown rig and sail
  in our fright’s strand on stormwatch to the south,
heed the mighty whirlwind, its scything trail -
  Galleon’s Passage to the Serpent’s Mouth.
See the bended trees on coconut row
  when lightning fork flashing turns night to day -
let it sunder, let it rage, let it blow
  across river and swamp in Cocos Bay.
When away are cattle jittery led
  and heron, egret, crane, and frigate bird
take flight for cover when all else have fled
  till a cockcrow at early dawn is heard.
When eerie is the billfish feeding ground
and missing are the pelicans stormbound.

Stormbound

High cloudy gloomy
Head; unseen; in wispy bars
Of skies; shaking rails

With closed-in thunder—
For miles. Lightning's bare fingers
Fall limp after so 

Many strikes. Peak of 
Sun— blue; cataract rims stung;
The rain sliding down

This dam in my soul;
It slams like me, my pain's pound—
Where I'm now stormbound.

Looking
Eye-Locking
Twinkling
Soul-tingling
Smiling
Sensually-laughing
Standing as though
Stormbound
Eye-lids 
Ashamed of closing 
Composing
Volumes of poems
Within split moments 
Of their unknown meet
Wherefrom they left
Forgetting to receive back
Their hearts
That unknowingly
Got transferred
Into the other...
