Phillip Sohn Poet Free verse

Hurricane

Weary from her charm and words.
Her soft voice that soothes and warns,
of the slowly conjuring storm.

Irresistible at first glance,
Electrifying pulses, youthful romance,
Head over heels. I don't stand a chance.

Translating to a passion.
Evolved into an obsession.
Now vulnerable, comes utter self destruction.

Don't tremble my dear, don't look away.
Just hide with me here, for my hearts sake.
Call her the hurricane, the one to blame.
She came, she conquered, and never goes away.

Allie Lusha February 22, 2010 at 2:24 AM Love poems that you have to read a couple of times to discover whats going on, we all interpret things differently and each time I read it becomes clearer and the feelings become apparent as the story unfolds......Allie

Andrea Dietrich February 21, 2010 at 9:34 PM Phillip, I really like this one. I only have a small confusion. Is this another woman coming between you and a current woman? I ask this because in the last stanza you are asking someone not to tremble and to hide with you as if hiding from the OTHER one that is the hurricane coming to destroy. Did I get that right? I hope you will post more for me to respond to. Luv, Andrea

Carolyn Devonshire February 21, 2010 at 6:37 PM Brilliant analogy, comparing this woman to a hurricane. The last line says so much! Nice work, Phillip. Love, Carolyn

James Fraser February 21, 2010 at 4:05 PM To me it sounds like an older woman with a younger man, wonderfully written Phillip >> James
