Tempest
I nightmare without form
just a torrent of a storm
free, yet let loose at sea
as if now meant to reclaim
So much more in a name
than just the scant letters
than the few syllables
with such epic hidden fables
For what hides dark inside
cannot ever be denied
by any new science
or mere act of defiance
As I let the fury rage
capture what I can on the page
going with the violent flow
let the tirade now show
Until my ink is dry...
until I can no longer try
left unable to resist ...
just a torrent of a storm
free, yet let loose at sea
as if now meant to reclaim
So much more in a name
than just the scant letters
than the few syllables
with such epic hidden fables
For what hides dark inside
cannot ever be denied
by any new science
or mere act of defiance
As I let the fury rage
capture what I can on the page
going with the violent flow
let the tirade now show
Until my ink is dry...
until I can no longer try
left unable to resist ...

Wind
It always makes itself
known
each time it is blown
standing in our way
Sometimes sneaking up
from a blind behind
to lift us
off our feet
Whether on a path or street
still profoundly moved
no longer feeling grooved
in this long meandering
Both a profound help
and a hindrance
like some remembrance
we cannot shake
As we stand in its wake
never the same
but ever the wiser
for having it fill our sails
known
each time it is blown
standing in our way
Sometimes sneaking up
from a blind behind
to lift us
off our feet
Whether on a path or street
still profoundly moved
no longer feeling grooved
in this long meandering
Both a profound help
and a hindrance
like some remembrance
we cannot shake
As we stand in its wake
never the same
but ever the wiser
for having it fill our sails

A Tempest at Sea
Funny how a raging tempest at sea
tells me so much about the fiery me
about this anger I seek to quell
with all of its secrets then to tell
In this endless quest to find
some comforting peace of mind
amongst wild nature’s fury
a defendant in search of a jury
For all of these wicked deeds
compounded by selfish needs
curse the passing of my days
forever stain my humble ways
How I long again to know
the purity of freshly fallen snow
the clarity of its cold truth
retained in the innocence of youth
...

Masked Mirror
I cover the cracked glass
when anyone would pass
up each wandering line
whether large or fine
Because that is how things are
when you live life in a jar
pickled in formaldehyde
revealing it all inside
Using this internal reflection
to treat an outbreak infection
for which there is no cure
drowning in a doubt for sure
Never ever living up
to any gold loving cup
I am the champion of loss
still measuring for my cross
With all of my sails
weighed down with nails
as this tempest...

Rumble
First the sky yellowed
becoming all vanilla
as I heard the first
murmur
low and growling
like some beast prowling
ready to resume
to once more consume

Thunderhead
Nature chooses its time
to no longer be subtle
but to be bold
delve into the cold
The ice water of truth
sure to send a chill
guaranteed to thrill
when fully immersed
For life cannot be rehearsed
cannot be replayed
in the forest or the glade
there is no reprieve
Allowing us to grieve
the death of innocence
the loss of childhood
this new knowledge of evil and good
to no longer be subtle
but to be bold
delve into the cold
The ice water of truth
sure to send a chill
guaranteed to thrill
when fully immersed
For life cannot be rehearsed
cannot be replayed
in the forest or the glade
there is no reprieve
Allowing us to grieve
the death of innocence
the loss of childhood
this new knowledge of evil and good

Storm at Sea
Dark then light
grey then bright
the sky changes from kind
more often than the wind
With a cacophony never silent
a calamity ever violent
stretching across the horizon
far from any safe harbor
While dark waves start to pitch
spilling their deep ink ever rich
grey then bright
the sky changes from kind
more often than the wind
With a cacophony never silent
a calamity ever violent
stretching across the horizon
far from any safe harbor
While dark waves start to pitch
spilling their deep ink ever rich

Cliffs of Cork
Jutting and jagged
the cliffs are so sheer
grey rocks awash near
the old grey Irish Sea
Here the black lighthouse
sits ever silent
above waves still violent
from a past thrashing storm
Leaving the cool wind
to carry the day
say what it will say
about the time of rhyme
From a place hence gone
an age long ago
tales steeped in deep woe
about love found then lost
Yet held so tight
through the passage of years
like so many tears
still wept and unwept
the cliffs are so sheer
grey rocks awash near
the old grey Irish Sea
Here the black lighthouse
sits ever silent
above waves still violent
from a past thrashing storm
Leaving the cool wind
to carry the day
say what it will say
about the time of rhyme
From a place hence gone
an age long ago
tales steeped in deep woe
about love found then lost
Yet held so tight
through the passage of years
like so many tears
still wept and unwept

Roll and Pitch
The Antarctic Ocean is fierce
while each wave tries to pierce
my muddled imagination
how this stormy sea
can set my mind now free
in search of distant shores
places far away
returned to for a day
some warm placid beach
no longer out of reach
while each wave tries to pierce
my muddled imagination
how this stormy sea
can set my mind now free
in search of distant shores
places far away
returned to for a day
some warm placid beach
no longer out of reach

Sand Storm
It is not until the winds cease
that time does now crease
fold itself over again
await once again the pen
Watching these distant storms blow
helps me to still know
the tenor of these times
the mechanics of these rhymes
Carried down through each generation
another poetic variation
with an original truth told
to the youth from the old
And so I do sit and listen
watch the sunlight glisten
across the groomed dune
deciphering each discovered rune
Mysteries are then found ...
that time does now crease
fold itself over again
await once again the pen
Watching these distant storms blow
helps me to still know
the tenor of these times
the mechanics of these rhymes
Carried down through each generation
another poetic variation
with an original truth told
to the youth from the old
And so I do sit and listen
watch the sunlight glisten
across the groomed dune
deciphering each discovered rune
Mysteries are then found ...

Like a Storm
Staring outside,
At the grey sky.
Full of clouds
Of thunder
and lightning.
I tried to imagine,
What it would be like
To be your storm.
I would wake you up every night,
By the sound of my winds knocking on your door.
Each footprint of my waters
Can be seen dripping on the floor.
When i asked for a little space
To bring you into my shower
Oh...how your soul got lost into my power.
How the rumbles are intensely quiet,
When you perform the act of forecasting the speed of the wind amid my eyeball.
How...
At the grey sky.
Full of clouds
Of thunder
and lightning.
I tried to imagine,
What it would be like
To be your storm.
I would wake you up every night,
By the sound of my winds knocking on your door.
Each footprint of my waters
Can be seen dripping on the floor.
When i asked for a little space
To bring you into my shower
Oh...how your soul got lost into my power.
How the rumbles are intensely quiet,
When you perform the act of forecasting the speed of the wind amid my eyeball.
How...

Strike
The night is just right
clouds like charcoal grey tissue
pulled slightly apart
nature displaying her art
As the summer air chills
as front meets front
with force so blunt
to perturb the balmy calm
Rolling mumbles
distant grumbles
as the thunder finds its voice
speaks its mind
Allowing me to find
the prime direction
for the dramatic inflection
about to now proceed
Making me again concede
how very small
I am before it all
offering up my sole poetic liturgy
clouds like charcoal grey tissue
pulled slightly apart
nature displaying her art
As the summer air chills
as front meets front
with force so blunt
to perturb the balmy calm
Rolling mumbles
distant grumbles
as the thunder finds its voice
speaks its mind
Allowing me to find
the prime direction
for the dramatic inflection
about to now proceed
Making me again concede
how very small
I am before it all
offering up my sole poetic liturgy
