Inferno In the Skies

She has been planning this vacation for more than a year, she has so much love to share, she could not get any of it so she has to give away all of it. Sometimes it drains her thoughts and causes the rain to start, she has warmed hearts far and near, helping them to break through barriers and ending the gentlemen’s woeful sorrows. She stood up to the daily fights and works double shift, for water to remain in dish, night time is chaotic as the contentious musical sound spins the dragon around and blast the music throughout the entire town but she presses on drowning out the sounds with positive thoughts and love bubbling up in her heart. She took on dangerous assignments that kept spinning the wheels; and assignments that cause turbulence in the skies sending chills up her spine and shaking the foundation of the living dead. She took on assignments in the bedroom to cover stories on the prophet of doom, but when she got there, he spread out on the bed with a pillow and underwear covering his head and his naked body bleeding. She had assignment in the solicitor’s drawing room to interview him at noon but when she got their blood was everywhere and his headless body was weeping on the floor. She worked ungodly hours and when no one was around she had to cover for the clowns just to book a seat in heaven, to breathe fresh air and live her life again. But that dream was far from coming true because the hooligans were penetrating me and you, every step of the way they set up a road block to divert the crowd on a different track. The day has finally come when destiny had her on the run vacation was set and next thing you knew she was oh Rhode island in Greece having breakfast with her lover by the stream, her first few days were exotic and the beach was fantastic but the Grizzle Bear came along and seize the romantic song. Apollo stood watch over them, and recites a verse to bless her lover’s heart and he slowly chimes the music in but Alastor was just in time to break up the masquerade of the unfaith husband that spew ashes at the gate and with one look at the sky the village began to burn and people start running around. They put the small fires out but the tree limbs began to shouts and in seconds confusion filled the entire island. The fire went wild, burning everything in its path and everyone began to run for their lives. The evacuation began and Alastor the avenger’s heart was on fire, ashes shoot-up into the skies and the people began to cry. Everyone starts running with suitcases and baggage; but many left their personal effects behind. They left passports, documents and cash but someone was watching close by to save them from their midnight cry, he secured everything for them. Helicopter began swirling in the air cooling down hotspot with all the water it has got, then buses kept rolling in by the dozen to clear the people from the island but some want to remain to complete the vacation. Then Oceanus came along and start singing a different song and so the fire cease after it had burnt up all of the weed and the inferno disappeared from the sky.

Thank you Mr.Woody for your comment.I use a lot of literary forms when I write, sometime, metaphor, personification , alliteration and so on.Sometimes I write in the first, second and third person voice.Stanza 4? No its not me.Its she the character; she has not been dating or had a physical relationship for the past 20 years and she the character in h piece wants to keep it that way. Deep speaks to deep.
