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…………

Destroying all hope

Our journey took us, far away, to the sea

Twilight had settled, on the captain and me

Moon lighted the way, though we saw not ahead

The billowing clouds, that meant imminent dread

The sky was laced, with pinks and blues

Our sails, like bellows, held the wind, as it blew

We traveled through waters, so calm and serene

Merely ripples of waves, such a peaceful scene

But the darkness grew closer, as we sailed, on and on

Never again to been seen, in the light of the dawn

Looming Chaos ~ #poetry of a #hurricane #Irma #SeptemberWriting

She struck with a fervor, like a derailed train

Took with her, everything, all she could claim

Lashed out at those, for staying behind

Wondering if they had all lost their mind

Warnings aplenty, where this girl would land

Seems she had it quite carefully planned

Landfall would only cause her to stall

So she stayed upon water, embracing the wall

Of funnel spouts spewing, and wind shears galore

Something so ominous, what was in store?!

Slowly she churned, growing closer and then

Slamming into the mainland, again and again

Unleashing her peril, with all of her might

Keeping everyone fearful, throughout most the night

Until all was calm, not a sound could be heard

Caught in the eye of the storm, where chaos is stirred

You were electrically charged

Swift bolts of jagged edges

Held up by clouds, but you,

You couldn’t be contained

Too powerful to be harnessed

Too fiery to be claimed

As the gods of thunder roared

And the battle pursued

You fought til the end

Quietly making your way

Across the blackened skies
