Heart of a Storm

Thunder tore apart the air... 
Shards of rock split... 
Lightning flashed across the sky 
The clouds ,all lit 
The wind ,howling by 

The black clouds scudded across, 
driven by the wind before them 
The lightning... 
Like an angry whip 
Cracked and burned 
Through the night 
Like a lover spurned 
Like a lover lost 

The rock split 
The air burned 
The lightning twisted and turned 
An angry light .. 
Flickered here 
Flickered there 
Like a lover spurned 

The lightning struck here 
The lightning struck there 
Shards of rock filled the air 
Monstrous black clouds passed through, 
in an angry heart too 
For, it burned... 
Like a lover spurned 

The black clouds 
Passed through 
Leaving a pale moon, 
whose light fell on me too 

All this in my heart too... 
all churned, 
where the lightning burned, 
through and through 
The angry light, 
Extinguished... 
Replaced by a pale moon, 
that fell on me 

The blood flowed 
Deep rich red, 
in a storm 
The lightning... 
The light that bled 
In a heart bestowed 

Storms abate.... 
The one in my heart 
Still aches.... 
With the storms I make
