Tempest

Love, lust, fear and joy builds our own inner tempest

 

Pearly sand shifting through fingertips
    Dusting away memories.
Eventide waters pool in hidden inlets
    Cleansing away apprehension.
Jagged and jutting monuments
    Herald inner peace.

Whimsical dragonflies dance to a silent song
    Mating lovers waltz.
Distant light flickers a casting white glow
    Guiding the soul home.
Charcoal mountains drift across the sky
    Tempest emotions boil and build.

Wild wind whips feather light strands
    Freedom of joy glides on swift currents
Pellets of water lash soft flesh
    A guttural cry carries for miles.
Brilliant reds and oranges peek at the horizon
    Sensual love rests in the aftermath.

A feast of tempestuous and vibrant images... the movement of swirling emotions... all coming to rest in the last line. Nicely written.

[SpokenWord]

The world always looks so different and so alive when one has fallen in love. It is like love covers our eyes and shows us only beauty in all things we come into contact with. Very visual and descriptive write. Excellent.

[Poetic Beauty]

the last line is beautiful and the imagery is stunning in this poem.

Breath Taking! This is beautiful, and transcends the oceans depths with the feel of affection. Passion dances on air with dragons wings, and waters sooth the soul at evenings tide, while love's call echoes into the sunset.

Great Write!

Reading this , and looking at the picture, my minds eye mixes, and there is no seperation of the two...The words overcome, and I see something has been added to the painting...I see a woman in the sky above, witht the wings of a delicate gull..she is suspended by the wind, and hovers, just above the gyre. The ship is wrecked, and she must just wait out the storm...
This is what this poem said to me.
