Poem
Calm in the center of the carnage, inaction seen by detached retinas Silently viewing societal norm walls falling Violently by lewd winds toppling ... house of marked cards folding Rendezvous bluff blowing in the bedroom again, lust treasure memories buried under closet debris sin Like a thief in the night, you always wanna take out more than you put in Step lightly into the storm building inside of you Blow the farm silo doors down, set the milch cow on the barn roof Step darkly into the center of the storm, Rest your troubled mind inside the heart of the dead calm Wait until the storm is abated and gone Then, go outside of yourself ... see the wreckage everywhere The twisted limbs of your lovers strewn in shocked poses of incredulity Look of lonely etched on their faces, saying: How could you, baby, do this to me ... Why did you leave me outside to die horribly? Blowing them a kiss, you shovel them into piles of compost Fertilizer love turning them into ground feed, and as soon as you finish the dirty deed Another tornado is forming, another hurricane is coming Step inside the fury swirling, sit inside of the storm, where it’ll be safe Every new lover wanna shelter there, but they came to the wrong-hearted place This poem was inspired by a poem titled "The Evolution of a Broken Heart" by the talented poetess, Leanne Lovejoy-Burton
