TEMPEST

 

TEMPEST

 

Monsoon, cyclone prone visit,

Destruct coastal states exist,

Broken home, tree uprooted,

Begin restorations, spirited, (1)

 

The image, horrible imprints,

Humans acquire tempest hints,

Hurts tongue, can lash but brutal,

Blind for reaction acts fatal, (2)

 

Thunderstorm hailstorm stay,

Lightening frightening sway,

Look at the tempest life fear,

Tempest exist in human tear, (3)

 

Observed cruelty, often crush,

Scolding ferociously, in a hush,

Listening to words reactions,

Heart fragile splintered turns, (4)

 

Temper like storm hits hard,

Angry words shockwave bad,

Restoration impossible stay,

The wound raw bleeds way, (5)

 

Tempest over the tea cup hit,

Light discussion, turn discreet,

Lifelong friendships fall apart,

Trustworthy humans depart, (6)

 

Creates crevasse, family split,

Mind addicted to tempest hit,

Teacups, not tempest, heal,

Soft and soothing words feel, (7)

 

Balms cover the heart hurt,

Storm not permanent short,

Anger tongue tied lip stitched,

Trick win human or preached, (viii)

 

Storm tall tree uprooted soon,

Grass survives humility boon,

Humility colors words, voice,

Teacup tempest stop choice, (9)

 

Rain comes monsoon romantic,

Not storm drizzles love ecstatic,

Life teaches gentleness decent,

Tempest windy ferocious dent, (10)

 

Noisy toads invisible alarmed,

Birds within the shelter swarmed,

The darkness in the day threatens,

Tempest on teacup life shaken. (11)
