The storm raged
thunderous explosions
like the Fourth of July
without its colors
rattled windows
dislocated, limbs fell
against the glass
or did they knock
asking me, to let them in
shelter from the battle
I don’t know, shades drawn
lights out, I could not see
seated in the darkness
only my shadow reflected
on the wall, as lightning
danced across the skies
illuminated, then black again
ice pellets, echoed,
the noise, like machine guns,
ravaging the night, a hunter
claimed his prey
then unexpected silence
the only sound heard
was the peaceful rain,
gently falling.

a truce…………

Terror

Numb, against the muted light
Shining through the open window;
Curtains blowing in the breeze
Of windless air, no movement,

I feel for you

The emptiness, floods the room
With a blinding fury, an anger
From inside of me, masquerading
As sunbeams, filtering
Through my fingertips,
Escaping my grasp, particles
Dissipating, consuming oxygen,

I cannot breathe

An iciness, this cold, surrounds
My darkness, plays with my soul;
It does not melt away, nor deliquesce
As shadows block the warmth
And take no pity, suffocate and bury me,
Gasping, for that one last breath….

 

I awaken

A Controlled Descent

A controlled descent

Through a bright blue sky

Headed for hell

Now the mountains do cry

With shouts of the innocent

Who will never know why

You took them with you

When you decided to die

 

I don’t often post poems that have been written in anger.  I have many, yet they stay neatly tucked away.  However, this is one I needed to share.  My heart goes out to all who lost their lives on the Germanwings flight.  All, except the coward who saw fit to take the innocents with him….  There have been far too many unexplained disappearances, and crashes in the past year.  May God watch over those who lost their lives.

Slow Burn

Trivial events
In an ordinary day
Causing angst and
Anger within

Trying to find a way
To peace and tranquility
In an otherwise
Tumultuous world

Can we, without
Cowardice or weakness
Resolve to rid the day
Of such displeasure

The Fury Inside

Gazing out my window
The gray skies fit my mood
The air heavy with the threat
Of a storm, but is this fury
Brewing inside me or is it
Just a lingering haze
Not really worth my energy
And I impatiently wait for the
Rain to wash it all away
