Thunder Roars All Around Us

thunder roars all around us rain has pillaged the Earth in petrichor trees bend in the wind and retrieve their stature only to succumb to yet another burst two pluviophile's sitting on the balcony our conversations are mostly absent from these words you have taught me the gentle conversation no need to dig into some dictionary when love's simplicity beckons yet she is a sponge in the language i command such a lady you are to me says, what does that mean i love it when you are a child in hand i am called to duty you never bring me to impatience patience has awarded me beyond my dreams the jewels i give you dance in your eyes i just wish, but i cannot go there the world would only intrude it is the crown of thorns my heart silently bears your air of innocence is something i guard a wolf leaps from your shadow with deadly intent aimed at the throat of any violator the fate of a pluviophile lost in the petrichor and you God must hold a special pity for me to be so graced and i have learned from all of this it is in the aiding of healing we discover each other the river's course remains unchained and free love should be rampant lava consuming all in its path a pyroclastic flow that sweeps two hearts into one rain praters on while the wind tosses badinage amok as the lightning parries above we retire for a nap in each other's arms where the wolf in your shadow is at rest paradise enow Abilene The Fate Within

Dear Timothy, I was captured by your lush poetic expression. Indeed, I am a "pluviophile" and relished knowing that the narrator is too. I admire the gentle strength of your passionate imagery "the river's course remains unchained and free/love should be rampant lava/consuming all in its path/a pyroclastic flow that sweeps two hearts into one" and I adore the use of the word "enow". I am swept away in the "unchained and free" river of your soul baring Romanticism! Warmest wishes my friend.. ~Susan P.S. Love the Bruno Mars vid too

thank you Susan....i am your fan without a doubt....yes I too love that Bruno Mars song...i write with music playing in the background, often you will find this comment on a Youtube song left by me..."this is where the beauty of a love poem grows wings and becomes the music filling the sky" love is the greatest of them...it is the message, not the messenger....Grace is a journey where we learn the height of forgiveness which opens our world to the greatest gift of them all....love...it is why Grace is so Amazing
