Thunderstruck meaning:
adjective
overcome with consternation; confounded; astounded

___________________________________

Version 1:

Tender caress of loving eyes
Hesitant in approach
Unalloyed hunger searing the seal
Newly born & blazing passion
Deep within & raging forth
Every emotion centered on fevered lips
Responding with inward lean
Seeking more than gentle press
Two thundering beats & one shared breath
Rushing headlong into intoxication
Under a net of dancing stars
Confluence of perfection...
Kiss of the heart


Version 2:

Tendrils of fire lick through the veins
Hunting oxygen for ignition
Upheaval in the making
Nestled deep in passion's core
Desperate hunger feeds the flames
Eliciting moans & sighs & body tremors
Raw emotion directs plunges of aggression
Sinuous in movement 
Twin throbs & greedy aches
Racing headlong toward the zenith
Upward tilt meeting downward stroke
Clutching & clawing & crying out
Keeping solidity buried deep


Version 3:

Time stops in its tracks
Heart skips a single beat
Unabashed in gaze
Numb & tingly simultaneously 
Deep breath held on intake
Exhalation forgotten
Realization dawns with intensity
Stopping all further thought 
Tethering & liberating 
Reaching out with unsteady hand
Understanding slowly grows
Certainty settles in
Knowing you're in love


Version 4:

Trees towering above forest floor
Hollowed patches between swaying branches
Under a crisp autumn sky
Needles litter mossy terrain
Deep shadows dancing within their keeping
Ebon wraiths within dusky bower
Redolance of verdant earth
Sounds of splashing & scent of pine
Trickle of brook & evergreen sachet
Reflection of moon upon the water
Umbrous environ slowly lightening
Comes now the flaming kiss of morning sun
Kindling for the fire of dawn

But is it Art?

Thunderstruck!
How about a traditional form
Uh? Uh? This one sucks,
Nothing hard but one can perform
 
Doing sonnets and triolets  
Even the odd villanelle or
Rondeau will do, one day,
Someone will open that door
 
To a treasure or two
Rewarding to all
Undertaking those who do
Choose the traditional  
Kind...

He Loves Me

his hugs were real, his arms trembled
as he scooped me into an embrace
I was in a world of wonder
where dreams come alive in multicolour
struck by a lightning surprise
I believe he was sincere

my heart skipped a beat
a symphony of emotions suffused my heart
thunderstruck but flabbergasted
for youth is faded petals turned to potpourri
the vigour of yesteryears mere sepia
memories flicked through in waking dreams

I missed you
I think I'm in love with you

thunderstruck
with unbelief.

Bolt

The storm was brewing in the distance...
He could feel it in his bones!
Under the dark clouds waiting.
Nervous and excited at the same time.
Dreaming of catching the perfect shot...
Every second counted as he aimed his camera.
Ready to capture the moment of glory.
Suddenly, a flash of light illuminated the scene...
The bolt of lightning struck the tower!
Right pressed the shutter button with a smile.
Unbelievable, he thought, he did it.
Caught the image of a lifetime...
Knowing he was thunderstruck by the beauty.

Whispers of love

Touched by rain, a gentle sound,
Hearts unite on solid ground.
Underneath the sky so blue,
Nurturing love in all we do.
Dancing leaves in the cool air,
Embracing moments, simple and fair.
Reflecting joy in every glance,
Soft whispers in a sweet romance.
Tender moments like a song,
Simple love, where we belong.
Caressed by breezes, moments stuck,
Underneath a sky, thunderstruck.
Cherished memories in each stride,
Kindred spirits side by side.



Wishing Horizons

Traversing peaks with hearts aglow,
Heralding the call of the winds that blow.
Undaunted spirit, a courageous stride,
Nurturing dreams on every mountainside.
Delving into realms where mysteries unfold,
Endless vistas, a story to be told.
Roaming freely, where eagles soar,
Scaling heights, an adventure to explore.
Trails unraveling, through forests thick,
Scaling nature's wonders, brick by brick.
Rivers running, a wild, untamed flow,
Uplifting souls with an adventurous glow.
Casting off worries, like leaves in the wind,
Kaleidoscopic landscapes, a world to rescind.

Two entries .. it was fun.. thanks for  arranging  this unique competition

Forensic water

As I breathe autonomously
I slip through the vengeance
Of her belittled sentiment
I want to move forward

Envy is the begging of cancer
You can treat it by burning it
With laser treatment
Maybe that's why she's forensic

I'm forensic because my lust
For art is a second tongue
That bilingually makes me laugh
At times when needed

Ever think of times when you've been
Forensic like water that shimmers
On your body as you qualify
For been a star in this rock n roll lipcurl

For he is forensic, saving all his
Violence for his close up shot
Smelling cinanmon and gang fighting
Nuns in the neighbours attic

Well, where is forensic water, where is it??

Thunderstruck

Thame and sage oracle feed
Heroin plasma wanted for life
Underground party the Lord
Neurones vacant for transistor
D day we are prepared
Ecstacy while thunder strikes you
Renegade master find me
Sex on the beach
Time to rock
Rain and storm
Ulogy
Cocaine fever
Killers and murder

The end

Thunderstruck (Acrostic poem)

Thinking I might be immune
Hurtled a bolt that all consumed
Unaware, naive was I
Now knowing, deep its impact lies
Detonation as the Nordic Gods perform
Earth shattering, apart my heart was torn
Reverberations shook my core
Senses blown with sweet amour
Turbulence, with fellings bloomed
Romance new, could soon ballon
Uplifted by this wonderous effect
Conact by passions sudden swept
Kismet

Thunderstruck

Tied, to the middle of a railway track
Hell, there was no, no turning back
Under the guns, sound of the drums
No help, no help from you
Down on my knees
Even askin please
Riding into town
Saw all the lights go down
Texas, yeah, Texas, and we had some fun
Read all the rules
Undid some fools
Cloud 99 had a good time
Kids been................ Thunderstruck !!!!!!

Thunderstruck

True, it's a great song by AC/DC,
However, it's how I feel, almost daily, at work.
Unbelievable, the amount of
Nonsense, that I keep finding from the
Devil-supervisor
Even years after she
Retired.
So many things screwed up
To the point of almost no
Return, but I will dig out from
Under the
Crap ( complaining and swearing all the way) and
Keep righting her wrongs, because a part of me will always care about the lab.

Thunderstruck by Cupid

Today was tough, tough as they come
Having to realize I'd become so numb
Until I did a new evaluation
Now I have become my own salvation
Dying to live again, to run, to soar
Even maybe, dare I, love once more
Readying myself was never my style
So maybe I should accept the wild for a while
That's my new plan, to speak freely, to love
Racing towards heavens gates above
Until at long last I do find
Cerberus  no longer nipping at my behind
Kisses from Her once again saving the day

Lightning strikes twice

Thank you doesn't seem enough
Hardly even scratching your heart so tough
United in your pain and past we did become
New lovers, many battles to overcome
Darling I would rather die by your side
Earning my place in Valhalla's tide
Resting in your beauty and grace
Seeing you again is my newfound place
That I must sojourn to
Reaching your heart's paradisal igloo
Until at last you come to see
Crucifying yourself is unnecessary
Karma has at last found you.

En-lightening

Turbulence throbbed sans repentance
Hurricanes assembled e-motions
Undercurrents conspired
Needling the edge of man's hood
Destined...divined in his
Erected edifice
Resolute...rigid........ready for the
Storm of her Sex crashing in
Thunderous moods
Restless is her Sea...ravenous
Unchained...unfiltered...unfettered`
Causalty be damned as
Knowledge reaps in a tsunami of waves
