Stormy Weather!

Stormy weather is on the horizon,
Lots of moisture is sure to make
a fast water's level to be
a risin'!
Winds and lightening, soon followed by
thunder, Golf ball sized hail stones
falling down from up yonder!
Whirlwinds of twisters travel on by,
Rooftops and debris do so fly!
Take cover as soon as possible,
behind anything low or a solid like
obsticle! Flash flood's warning is
over the tv's air, Weatherman's warnings
are all on tv, showing they care!
When the all clear signal is finally
given, All the fast heavy breathin' is
slowed down and even!

The Trigger Called Emotion

when emotions run high
poems come like
a tornado,

when emotions run low
what is happening
to you?

when emotions become
too suspicious
what is next to do?

will you pull the trigger of
the gun and leave
the handwritten note:

because i love
you so?

I Saw The Devil Yesterday

I saw the Devil yesterday,
Children dead, their parents slain,
People silenced for what they say,
Leaders applauding sorrow and pain.

Tornados, floods, and hurricanes,
And hatred on every land,
The sky she cries her acid rain,
More money is the main demand.

Holy wars with unholy actions,
Diseases man made set loose,
Drugs to cure non-satisfaction,
Rape, and robbery, child abuse.

Genocide has become a fad,
Prejudice is denied but true,
People are bitter, angry, and sad,
All innocence in through.

Mother Nature

Often I marvel at Mother Nature
And its unique adventures
It has in stock for us
I have to say Mother Nature is the boss
Everyone has DNA-like life experience
Sometimes it can be monotonously intense

But Mother Nature is supreme
And Mother Nature is extreme

Often I ponder on why Mother Nature
Is sporadically insane with jealousy
Committing many a time unspeakable atrocities

Tornados, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
It showers, making its necessary modifications
Tidal waves are its trademark of destruction
Of natural and artificial creations

But Mother Nature always makes up

Timeline Of Cosmological Theories Or Sloan Great Wall

On the top of a hill
Tornado of petals

Your wrist
Your elbow
Your ankle
Your distal phalanges

Travelplan
Brooklyn Heights

On a bottom of strings
A harp
Your breath

In the back seat
By the light of the moon
Like a mirror of water
Your wisdom teeth

Twister

She was kind of fragile
And she had a lot to grapple with
But basically she kept
It all inside

Childlike and effervescent
With a well of pain
The depth of I could not imagine
If I tried

Never thought that I
Would hear them say
Twister went and threw it all away

She was kind of magical
Her laughter sent you casually
Floating through a moment
Of release

Dear God

I'm A Poet

I'm a Poet
A twister of words
I open a world unseen to others
I bring meaning to the meaningless
I use words as my weapon
It's a double edged sword
I can bring beauty to a slum land
Horror to a smile
I can give life to the dead
Immorality to a flower
Then destroy it in the next line
I'm a poet
A rhymer of words
I see the unseen
And create new worlds
I am an artist of the written
A magician of the pen
I can make words rhyme
Or go free verse
It all depends

This World...

This World We Know May End

Waves wither down
The walls of cliff sides
Earthquakes shake
Ground is splitting
This World We Know May End

Thunder claps
Thunder cracks
Thunder plays the drums of disaster
Lightning takes pictures from the sky
This World We Know May End

Wind speed picks up
Trees and houses are thrown with ease
These tornados are set on spin cycle
Fear of disaster we hide in our basement
This World We Know May End

Dead Men

Inside the blizzard of hate, i found the blister, sometimes she does the do for a listen - The sound of revenge, a multitude of twisters, three of some with the wicket sisters - My head bleeds, the blood pours from my wrists - My brain pleads, my mind refuse, death is my only risk - The knife shivers, my feelings are lost, total the recall, there Arno Cost - My heart frost with silver, my soul accepts black as dew display soft - I enter the darkness, the tunnel of lies, i only see flies - I am engulfed by screams, it is finally my turn to cry, i will try - Tears that flow, the river presents the time, too late - My world axed by the inverted nine, when you are dead, you pay your debt, to Fate - Dead men tell no tales - Dead men pay no rent - Dead men have no friends

A Storm Is A Storm

Everyday we seek shelter
from an approaching storm.
Whether it comes naturally
or is a homemade one.
A storm is a storm
and its turbulence is always felt.
Where it be rain, snow, flood,
hurricane or tornado,
or someone playing mind games
to try to hurt us in someway.
A storm is a storm.

Kindle The Flame

When wild rains
ferocious storms
lightning whip lashes

across looming horizons
chill danger darkening
wondrous orb golden skies.

Safeguard love hope
within still beating heart.
When tornado rains begin

keep faith love
hope actively alive
in heroic hearts.

Kindle flame
against gathering darkness.

A Friend In Nature

I've found a friend in nature
although nature could turn on me
if i'm out and about in a storm
and its lightning strikes me
if a tidal wave sweeps me far out to sea
or a poisonous snake takes a bite of me
if a tornado twirls me high into the sky
yes, the irony is that nature which
i find so enchanting
could one day cause my demise

Peppermint Twist

Peppermint Twist
Joey Dee and The Starliters
Well they've got a new dance and it goes like this
(Bop shoo-op, a bop bop shoo-op)
Yeah the name of the dance is Peppermint Twist
(Bop shoo-op, a bop bop shoo-op)
Well you like it like this, the Peppermint Twist
It goes round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down
Round and round and a up and down
And a one two three kick, one two three jump
LEAD BREAK
Well meet me baby down at 45th street
Where the Peppermint Twisters meet
And you'll learn to do this, the Peppermint Twist
It's alright, all night, it's alright
It's okay, all day, it's okay
You'll learn to do this, the Peppermint Twist
Yeah, yeah

In The Country

Written by dan peek, 1974
Found on holiday.
All you brothers and sisters
Lookin for a better way
Why dont you all go to the country
Hitch a ride from the city
Get away for the day
The summertime is gonna take you
People playing music wont forsake you
But when its hot
You gotta go all the way
All you dancers and twisters
Lookin for a place to play
Why dont you all go to the country
People in the city
Get away for the day
I dont know how Im gonna do it
But someone else will push me to it
But when its hot
You gotta go all the way

Big Tomato

When I was about five,

I thought tornados came alive.

Alive into a big tomato with legs,

walking up the hill to where I lived.

Waiting anxiously outside my front door,

I was afraid but wanted to see more.

I imagined a big gigantic tomato coming up the street,

I thought it be cool and thought it be neat to see.

Wind starting blowing and sky became still,

the birds disappeared, I began to feel chills.

Paradise Blessed

Rippling blue, sky's reflection,
Sea and river, winds direction.
Water lapping, briskly flowing,
Twinkling facets, motion growing.
Sunshine glinting, sparkling array,
Shining sunbeams, jewelled ballet.

Waves disturbing, turning grey,
Lightning flashes, sparks ricochet.
Gloom descending, thunder cracks,
Whipping twister, storm attacks.
Lashing downpour, terror felt,
Endless tumult, hailstones pelt.

Calmness gathers, squall complies,
Raindrops ceasing, uproar dies.
Gentle breezes, warming air,
Peaceful nature, silence rare.
Azure welkin, zephyr caressed,
Abundant freshness, paradise blessed.

Angel's Healing Breath...

When dark skies from upon my horizon gather,
And the thunder in my heart does pound.
When my mind swirls like a mighty tornado,
And the rain wages war on the ground.

When nought but panic and turmoil reign,
And my soul just can't seem to rest.
I seek out the comfort that lives within,
My angels healing breath...

Spread the love... The peace will follow...

He Should Be So Lucky......... :)

Ill try not to scar you with my words
But theres an issue i wish to be heard
Warning it may leave thoughts that scar
But ill start from this point, thus far

For years my mans had a dream
One which sets an unusual scene
Can't help laughing at his audacity
As every time i vision his suggestion
Just tickles me...

He stands and announces what he thinks
After one too many
Drinks
A game he seems desperate to play
But im not that type of girl
And our mates, nor are they....

He dreams of a large mat on the floor
Circles of colour, by the living room door

Early Spring!

early spring?
windblown sunlight,
patches of shadow.
the threat of thunder,
storms drip from the cup.

bare branches budding,
sap on the rise.
this old body rises
from its wintry grave!

the fire that smoldered
laps out in flame.
the need to touch,
to create, and to die.

early spring?
a tornado, or just echoes.
the ghost of winter still lurks,
and tugs at the door!

Movements

you bring pink roses everyday
from nowhere

with an oblique smile,
some questions have remained unanswered

when I plunge in silence
you won’t stop talking

anger is its own failure
for breaking the door

where was the need for honour
killing of flesh

I will come out of the oblivion
once you pray for the retreat

time was running out for the sky
tornado has started moving
