Slowly Shaking, Quaking, Making...

As I look up, I wake up, I hear sudden sound The voices they call me When no one’s around I stand here and listen As softly they speak For everyone’s laughing At something unique I don’t quite know As I restlessly gape How you can take it That cruel stricken face I love you it says As we wait undisturbed I miss you and hate you And fake you it serves What do you do when love comes unaware? What can you do except tremble with... Why do you quake? Fear or excitement, breath or flame? Here is the door Here are the people Open my heart And see how it… Bleeds, Burns, Craves, Yearns. Life. Hope. Honor. Lust. Licking blood, as our fate turns to dust.

Satya, reading the title, I expected to see a poem about earthquakes. But you have given me chills of another kind. The turbulence of lost love is well stated in this great poem! Love, Carolyn
