Storm of Love

the face of my wife was as dark as the storm that raged and boomed outside the drab motel room . I stood at the window observing the angry lightning, thunder in my heart , knowing full well for both of us , this was the end of love .

I know this is fictional.... ! Even in good relationships, at times, there can be stormy moments.

The sad end of a love affair, coinciding with the fury of the storm, creates a vivid and remarkable contrast in this lovely poem. Blessings and hugs, Evelyn

Whoa!! Very expressive and emotive work. I hope just a work and not in real life. Lightning struck here one day this week and it shook the whole house but we had no idea where until when doing some mowing of the fields my husband saw a huge oak with half of its bark stripped off and lying on the ground. I hope it wasn't that bad. Thanks for dropping by my page. Sara
