"a Dangerous Ride"

You came in like a sweet tasty tornado..
Spun my head around where I didn't know
where to go..
The path of destruction was paved with 
lust and misplaced feelings..
Two wrongs only made another wrong which
led to months of healing..
The funnel cloud came in so fast but I know
I kept it spinning..
I was tossed aside left hurt and broken, but had
a smile that was still grinning..
Next time I know to check the forecast and maybe
stay inside..
To spin that way again may not be such a pleasant
ride...

The power of another soul that can do this to a person is truly fantastic. I knew a woman like this once and I live for this ride a second time..O no misplaced feelings though every one accounted for, and the ones she took with her I would gladly loose again to see her whirll wind tornado self just once more. Lovely thank you for sharing

Thank you for the comment on my poem "Wallpapered, Soloed Nudity"> I have a grin on my face right now! Your poem made me feel alive and wanting to ride one more time that tornado, and to see if it would toss me off softer the next time around. Great way to make a woman smile! This poem has great feeling and it moves the ground with passion!
