Quotes about surge, page 12
Lonely Lover
Aloof I am and far from you
coasting along,
lonely in a boat
waves of thoughts surge me ahead
with remembrance as an oar,
I row.
Goal being that shining star,
destiny, I know not
sucked into the whirlpools,
are my wandering thoughts
entangled in the vicious maze of memory,
you brought.
Lost if I am,
search for that elusive pearl
on the pretext of finding a shell
reach me
even if it takes eternity.

Release (a tritina)
The day had closed upon my heart
And the darkness had slowly settled in
Casting shadows across love's fallow fire
So pale and dim was that smoldering fire
It lay idle and dormant within my heart
Until that day love whispered 'let him in'
And with one breath did love surge in
A mighty torrent that set my soul to fire
Releasing love's rapture within my heart
Your star now burns in that fire of my heart

On The Eastern Front
The ominous anger of masses of men
Is like the wild organ of the winter storm,
The purple surge of battle,
Leafless stars.
With broken eyebrows and silver arms
The night waves to dying soldiers.
In the shade of the ash tree of autumn
The souls of the slain are sighing.
A thorny desert surrounds the city.
The moon chases the shocked women
From the bleeding stairways.
Wild wolves have broken through the door

Poem about poetry - Poem for clearing thoughts
beach drizzle
the strong wind
orchestrates
a classical song
touching the rawness
of my heart
the vast sea
lurches forward
the stronger waves
swarming over
the weaker ones
pushing them onto land
in successive surge
an adagio played out
to a wondrous cheer
on and on they go
nearby the palm trees
like me could not help
but sigh in admiration
a standing ovation

The Bridge Who Dreams Of Being A River
the bridge finally
confesses to the river
that in every surge of
the water below it
it experiences what human
males call an erection
it strengthens every
cable that runs inside it
the heavy clouds rain on it
and the sun scorches it with heat
every bridge confesses innocence
to this nonsense
the bridge after all is not what
it is, ...it is still going to be

Remembrance
A tribal fear
was lurking,
behind a surge of emotion.
The sun was looking black.
A sexual abuse
of a quaint flower
aborts the fruit.
This year we will go hungry.
A nascent seed
stripped on road-
cries for water.
We hear without listening.
Death by a grave
was a domestic claim.
But you were found dead in a bunker.
Life vows to stand alone

Cosmic Candles Wax Poetic

Sunspot Birth Surrealism
starbursts spike creativity
slay us at irregular intervals
solar radiation sunspots
activity maximum wreaks
havoc in neural pathways
frying emotive overloads
adrenaline rush surge crazy
cannot should not be denied
time to paint surreal frescoes
familiar pattern life slices
distorted disturbing weirdly
dream objects experiences
unfamiliar is surrealism depicted
echoes expunged energy images
solar maximum emotive urgency

Storm
Cattle egrets in the dry grass waded
like white clerics at the hooves
of brood cows, heifers, and new calves.
Forked lightning. Calm.
The darkness in the cattle tank welled up
and flooded the reflection of the trees.
Turkey vultures wheeled, and wheeled away.
No swifts, no swallows, children gone indoors.
Rain seethed into the willowtops,
sky flashing, while the black bull
under the water locust glowed
with an inward surge of darkness

Grace Before Song
Lord God of heaven that with mercy dight
Th'alternate prayer wheel of the night and light
Eternal hath to thee, and in whose sight
Our days as rain drops in the sea surge fall,
As bright white drops upon a leaden sea
Grant so my songs to this grey folk may be:
As drops that dream and gleam and falling catch the sun
Evan'scent mirrors every opal one
Of such his splendor as their compass is,
So, bold My Songs, seek ye such death as this.
