Tempest
Darkling skies mirror darkling soul
Tempestuous pools drink in the howling damp
Cerulean depths blending into sapphire storms of despair
The monsoon washes her tears away
A smoking crash shatters the calm before the apocalypse
Shards of lightning smite the roiling mire
Forging a blazing path into the core of her soul
Cleaving hopes and desires in two like ancient oaks
Leaving in their wake a blasted trail of desolation
A destitute topography of lost spirit dreams
Bloodless lips fall open – dying rose petals dewed with mist
A soft sigh mingles with a fetid breeze
The death rattle of a departing ghost
