Firestorm

   
blazing sorceress  
of the night  
   
igniting my passions  
unforetold    
   
with firebolts  
lighting up my dark skies  
   
and the heat of two bodies  
entangled, as flame  
   
becoming, together  
one growing inferno  
   
reaching for climax  
intertwined  
   
until pulsating cyclones  
erupt and convulse  
   
scorching our love  
deep into our souls…  
   
with my seductive tempest:  
femme fatale

Tornadic Affair

In the sands of time, I reminisce that forbidden wine
torridly fine, the tornadic disruptions that comes to mind,
fragrance that lingers forever, my heart still gently meanders,
silent smiles I’d remember, freeing this soul to love, it surrenders!

I’d admit there’s so much pain, really nothing to gain,
with all the distractions, the pleasures were of tropical rain,
so easy for this heart to wander off, drenched in the wetness,
this attraction so vicious, an affair that’s simply dangerous!

to whom could I speak, opening up, to whom would I share,
moments of madness, justifications that I’ve come to lay bare,
my restless mind, belligerently tangential, the soul seeks the essential,
my body yearns for what’s physically biological, nevertheless consequential!

memories that lingers, thunderously returning a lot stronger,
the fire within, can’t wait to be fuelled by desires any longer,
for the pleasures of love that keeps me alive, passion is no stranger,
for I am a creature of touch, I long for the sensual language of my lover!

the universe as I know it, has it magical ways,
It disrupts, it corrupts, yet it makes me to be in touch,
my heart and my soul happily eager to vanish into the haze,
fireworks that awakened, the enchantment that I miss very much,

memories buried deep, yet I long for the warmth inside,
like a new feeling, having that body was erotically a new thing,
I want to ride, I want to slide, I want that sensation with all my pride,
the dust of love making, erotic chemistry that transcends everything!

the richness of deep passionate nights,
proceeded by the romantic sunset at twilight,
intoxicated souls bounded momentarily together,
sips of the forbidden, why would that really matter?

caressing each other under the moonlight,
catching the flames throwing the bodies wildly, tight,
the sensations of our throbbing hearts and rhythmic hips,
calm seaside breeze turning into a storm with our sealed lips,

inhibited, unabated, the night of lust ravenously blossoms,
the smoothness and tenderness that I long for again and again!
whirlwind of madness and romance in a mix, lustfully awesome,
for I am the injured creature, as I run my fingers through my wavy mane!

Emotional Firestorm

Passions ignited, I am intoxicated with rage.
Eyes enflamed with hellfire and soul enlivened,
this firestorm and the whirling clouds of smoke
incites both panic and fear within my path.

Candlewicks flare up in the heat of my presence,
so too, I melt the wax of the candlesticks.
My inferno cloud billows into the sweet air,  
which itself combusts and is consumed.

Tears of joy once filled the sea of my eyes.
Now that sea boils; steam-pluming into clouds.
Even in blind rage though, my fire gives light
to perceive form in people and the words they say.

My flames lick and scorch the feelings of any
who stubbornly stand in the path of this storm.
With the locomotion of this madness,
all the world around is charred black.

I am the storm

I am the storm        
bitter winds howling        
screaming in feral ecstasy        
cursing a loveless world        
sharp talons to rake men's hearts        
with needle sharp fingers        
of freezing fire        
a burning flame of ice        
for I am no longer alive        
no heart beats in my chest        
nor blood flows through my veins        
I am far more that human        
and far, far less        
for I see the sins of humanity        
feasting on these transgressions        
seeing the strong feed off the weak        
seeing the weak [so willingly]        
offer their souls in sacrifice        
I am your doom        
and your one saving grace        
look into my eyes        
to see your fate        
how your pathetic spirits wait        
sniveling in fear of the light        
how can spineless creatures fight        
lies won't save you but I just might        
pick up the sword        
your shining two edged soul        
and stand in the gale        
of my feral howling breath        
and be reborn

Nothing to Fear

I'm a rain wrapped tornado,
Chugging like a train.
Breaking in your doors,
And turning off the lights.
Every piece of glass,
Like daggers in the night.
You fear the only things,
That you perceive as might.

I'm a hurricane,
Whirling in the sky.
Taking all your homes,
Out with the ocean tides
Just another higher power,
You could never fight.
Fear me and you know,
You won't be alive.

I'm just a tsunami,
Where can you go?
Unless you have a mountain,
Outside your back door.
You can run, but you can't hide.
No structure can withstand this tide.
A wall of water in your sight.
Hope you're not afraid of heights.

I am just a storm cloud
Lurking in the sky.
I'll turn every thought dark,
If you fear my night.

But those who open their minds,
And ignore my destructive force,

You could be that one home,
That deterred me from my course.

Reverberation

Frostbitten fingers reach, strangling my breaths.
You love watching my dilemma unfold.
My temperature rises as I approach death.
Your hand smolders, and you release your hold.

Chaos awoken; I can hear the riots.
The battle scars have taken their toll.
The sky turns grey, blanketing me with quiet.
There is a relief that settles my soul.

The breeze caresses me with a whisper
that reverberates within my chest
only to become gnawing, pained purrs
that grow into growls within my breast.

I rise, staring; my rage strikes as lightning,
greying out the color of my eyes.
My intensity becomes more frightening
with every single tear that I cry.

Gravity pulls down, and the drops shatter
against the ground, causing the earth to quake.
As the rifts form, you cower and scatter—
you will be the destruction in my wake.

The Eagle's Scream

where chaos reign with evil
and darkness harbours angels
in the perpetual celestial battle
children of light with fallen brothers

where beacons of light
the clashes of angels righteous swords
the good and everything right
fights with all pleasures and delight

the voice of reason pure and bright
Illumination of heaven's holy light
piercing through the hearts
of man wishing to do right

and from the skies
rumbles the thunder to announce
the beginning of the end
the coming of the alpha and omega

the eagle screams calling its own
"Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts:
all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me."
noble and holy in its sanctum sanctorum

listen to the powerful voice so clear
thunders over mountains and fields
the truth spilled flushing fears
soaring as an eagle
words of salvation rained upon all hearts
