Thunder Queen

The storm that is you thunders
slow and brilliant in my heart,
spliting my beliefs into bliss and blunders
tossing the limbs of my love from finished to start,

The hail sows no hate
temperatures taste extreme,
your fast weather pummels my pride's fate
the howl and moan stiffens my body's fleshy slate
with a new font spelling lust in capital sweat and gleam
as the conceit in me enjoys the torrent of your sorrow's date,

You hump me with a dying wish
placing me inside you, gently, romantically, undeniably selfish,
I fall in love with you again for the umpteenth time
and your face never grows old
shows no cold
disappears not in tragedy's confine,
overlapping my overview of life, hot and hellish
the art that is you pounces into view, the rumble I relish,

Wanting me to know what you deserve
breathing into me the smoke of your burning love,
I become love wrecked, quaking from the sting you serve
preserving everything your spirit spits and sings from above -

J.A.B.

Dear Justin, I absolutely love the title here as well as the opening line especially here, as I believe i am a sea-storm! Your way with expressing is so very passionate and has a poetic softness that would make any reader feel the essence of your poems. I also must highlight and praise the subtle yet impressive nature of your poetic techniques used here like alliterations etc! To call in love again with the same person must be beautiful. Pleasure reading you today! Sending you warm light

Dalia, when I first read, and felt your powerful comment it was like being kissed by star fire. Poetry is my life, and allows me to express my heart and soul like a new star in the heavens, as well as a man believing in a divine purpose for the world. I truly believe that the greatest accomplishment for an Artist is to inspire how he or she has been inspired themselves Dalia...J.A.B.

This love storm doesn't sweep away or ruin, rather, it is a Divine partnership in spiritual renewal in many respects. She and I are the maximum of the five Elements of Nature's vitality Charma. Love, passion and wisdom are the gifts of our unexpiring connection. Thank you for sharing in our blessing my friend. J.A.B.

Dear Justin, an amazing poem of love that withstands life's storms. I especially enjoyed the lines: "I fall in love with you again for the umpteenth time and your face never grows old shows no cold." This is a sign of everlasting love. Very passionate! Excellent write! Love, Carolyn

Your love and rich experience are very well received Carolyn. A good relationship does compell partners to rediscover from time to time the meaning of their values, beautiful struggles, and to see the pure love in the lights of our eyes, to embrace love's thunder. Thanks you Carolyn. J.A.B.

Yeah, no doubt woman, you know it! Hey babe, don't discount the interpretations readers make on your Art, life, art, love its all free to be perceived the way it needs to be for each of us. I wasn't pretending to know your heart, I just told ehat your neat write elicited from within me, LOL...I had a beautiful black cat named Congo a few years ago. R.I.P., he thought he was a monkey.

A love that either destroys a heart with it's intensity or reconstructs a heart to support a greater awareness of life's meaning Keith. I wouldn't want my woman and muse to be anything less than a beautiful storm. Happy you felt the storm rhythem Brother Keith. J.A.B.

A nice way, in trying to be or pick up after the storm. Bruising those who can & might care. A tragedy confinement, no one should bare, hitting every rock there ever is, ever was. Only hail, can demonstrate the power of God... A mentality no one will ever encounter twice.... Enjoyed~ Linda

Wow Linda, I deeply appreciate your poetic and soulful response, it could make a fine write of wisdom in itself! God's hail has no hate, and Love's storm gives life form. This affection and friendship is not motivated by hurt, rather the bond is built on brave awareness of what we be. This poem is inked with true excitement and respect for both souls. I love my Thunder Queen. Thanks for awesome comment my Sphinx. J.A.B.

A romantic interpretation Riverbank, however, the goal is not to tame, rather it is to invite Love's rain in full force. Don't underestimate Thor's impact on her heart. He has his victory, for he has gained as much as he has given. Thanks for feeling the tempest in this love storm, looking forward to reading more of you. J.A.B.
