Ballet In the Sky
The whole air is dancing-
Ravenous thunder rumbles
Lighting curls her jagged bolts
flashing like gold through amythyst, sapphire skies
I'll not allow your image to spoil my view
With you-rain would cry it's droplets
as it mumbled whispers to my haunted heart
Oft' times-rolling clouds rumbled their voices in my soul
*~*
Now, I dance in scarlet flames that spark across the heavens
gliding thru turquoise skies with copious clouds...
that delicately clothe my body
pirouetting gracefully ...
to the peaceful harmonic rhythm of rolling thunder
My flesh no longer aches for your barren touch
I shall not desire your hand opon my beautiful rain drenched skin
whetted now with golden silken tears
My memory quickens...
I no longer remember your face or hunger for your sterile love
I'll not dance to your chaotic rhythm
Nature baited me with her sweet breath
Embraced me in her loving arms-
singing her gentle rain of tears
You...
baited me with your hook of selfish love
My heart now dances with another
One who bathes my soul in fertile soil
He feeds me with his hungry, selfless love...
You...
fed me worms with your stingy heart
