As Hurricane Comes
As the maddening tempest darkens,
This gusty night threatens my vulnerability,
When a deluge of woe gushes from a stormy heart
To reflect a tinge of foreboding, of a growing boom--
The ebon cloudburst engulfs this certain
Ramble of an eerie jab in my veins.
Yet, my attitude is numb, so unaffected…
Perhaps this callous notion within knows
I feel this hurricane's frenzy , often.
I don’t know why…
The marrow in my bones curdles, as usual,
A time when a soul grows melancholic
Knowing in the core of turmoil, I need to go away.
