Notes About The Poem

This piece has been written for Craig's contest ~ 'Ceraunophilia' ..

 

 

Ceraunophilia

I heard the hollowness that this heart hithers ~ 
but to tame my tears, must I trust the twilight 
that ripped me in tremors and toxic tales, 
the titanium lightning that traded me thirsty,
like the thunder that cuts across the ribbed sky?
these tantalizing trembles of Thor have left me,
wilting in memories, where moon rests in malice
and the monsoon maiden murmurs in wrath,
unspoken within roars of wallflower leopards ~
who ink me, laced with tiger-lilies and lethal lies.

I ache for you, stretched across sun sighs,
a bereaved goddess of thunderstorms, 
vows to sear within silver streaks of solace 
stripped of silk and sacrifice,in rust-skin revolt,
seething a smile across slaughtered stars,
and be the Bronté light in brooding blindness, 
that cunning cyans cease to code and conceal,
I am the feminine glitch of golden gloom ~
perfumed with mercuric petals that echo rain,
in the restless release of reverent renaissance...

Sotto Poet July 19, 2026 at 4:51 AM Dear Hiys, your great poetry has a captivating story that weaves naturalistic components with personal sentiments, resulting in a complex mosaic of imagery and symbolism. The linguistic content is rich and vivid, which enhances the poem's overall effect. The subject was conceptually sound. I hope you're doing better. Sending you many light rays and best wishes for the contest.

Sara Kendrick July 17, 2026 at 4:15 PM I am not in a position to say positive things about lightning and thunderstorms. I can't say I like them and definitely not love them. This one reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go. Sara K.

Sam Kauffman July 17, 2026 at 12:36 PM Hiya, what a storm of aching, haunting metaphysical emotions flashing across the sky of your soul like a thunder-lightning storm through pounding alliterations, flashing images and fabled references all bended into a seamless experience. Best wishes for the contest. Sending you blessings of joy!
