The Transcending tempest
I skirmish amidst the growling hounds The lashing waves, the acoustic sounds The tempest’s call, a supercilious strength Reinvigorating my might, impinging my breath I solemnly pledge to battle the sea Till the last drop of my blood shall bleed I coveted to obliterate through the tides Only if the serendipity of my toil abides I shall stand my ground with a...

Premium Member That Terrible Raging Tempest
I hate tempests, unless I'm cosy in bed.....by poet The tempest raged around the lighthouse I was the sentinel of the place, hoping the lights flashed. Unfortunately, it provided me with very little shelter. Outside, wild waves pounded the rugged rocks. Some stinging sleet fell piling up on the ledges, Penetrating the broken wide wind-broken windows. Nothing to do but wait till...

Teacup Tempest
A porcelain world, a gentle painted scene, Where floral sprigs on ivory convene. Then, sudden swirl, a tempest takes its hold, A miniature rage, a story to unfold. The spoon, a mast against the brewing gale, Where sugar crystals, like hailstones, fiercely sail. The tea, a sea in turbulent dark sway, Where tiny waves in frothy anger play. A whispered sigh, a tremble...

Battling Mind
A whirlwind of emotions A cyclone of wandering thoughts A tempest of trepidation That leaves me baffled and distraught The devastation of my battling mind Wreaks havoc in the soul's sacred shrine. ...

Premium Member Taming the tempest
Sitting alone, iPad in hand, to pen a poem on demand, attempting to translate bliss beats, the rapture refrain that repeats, feeling within joy germinate, we write because we cannot wait, for once symbols in rhythm are belled, with our creative tempests quelled, what’s imbibed in form is ingrained by both head and heart, entertained, by merging feeling with thinking, as pure awareness unblinking, even though none...

Tempest
It's sunny and clear, S?o Happy, full of cheer, I? feel another presence there, I? see whats lurking in here. Anger, Hate and Fear, Building up pressure, In My atmosphere. The storm is near, Coming in fast, Picking up speed. So full of energy, This Tempest in me. Fighting to get free, Goes to any length. Encompassing me, To gain it's strength. It's Winds caress my face. Icy crystals slow the pace, I...

Tempest
He threw at her the black of night And then the fire of day Roared as of a hurricane With avalanching speed She crackled as a lightning bolt Within a thunderstorm And then unleashed – in torrents The cyclones of her wrath – With violence they wrestled long And raged the heaving seas Hurled the stone of Sisyphus At Scylla and Charybdis And in the tempest, tooth...

Tempest
Your ominous nimbus descends, Don't shatter this summer’s grace. Now all freeze in fear’s embrace, You look so heavy, please, don’t race. I don’t care if you dare, Just don’t stomp your foot up there. But stubborn as you are, You plummet your tears for an hour. Now, the tides have changed, Calamity is named. The road now deep with ruts, Silently dousing my fragile huts. Don’t...

Premium Member a tempest for the almanac
The evening stars were gone, replaced by a spreading, ominous purple bruise of cloud. When the wind rose, in sudden violent crisscrossing gusts, everything went into motion. White cabanas shook, like staked swans flapping to fly, lavender bushes thrashed their thorny arms as if in panic, umbrella pines creaked and writhed like tethered balloons. Lightning lit the winding, stony stairs, like ornamental neon lights,...

Sail on, Silver Girl
Far across the bridge, way against the strong tides Drifts a lonely yacht, lonely, under my watch The sailor, one missy adorned in silver stripes Bearing herself, her focus and a flaming torch A wild breeze forms creases 'pon the face of the waters Set at naught, at nought she was set A mild tempest rocks her row into hiccuping flutters Ahead,...

“Fate whispers to the warrior, ‘You can not withstand the storm.’ The warrior whispers back, ‘I am the storm.'” — Unknown As dawn fades to a timid light A tale unfolds on nervous clouds Hesitant rays of shy sunlight Breathing through glimpses of quiet Daring lies fall from raging winds As dawn fades to a timid light Revealing grief beyond the pain Where...

You pull me from the depths of forevers of thought elegantly twirled, though evidently caught shaped by the vortex, virtuoso of pain fluctuating truths from half flailing to half slain the mirror of water I'd rather not see if I peer in I see reflections of me contorting with torment unnecessarily ...
