Notes About The Poem

Awarded 5th Place written for the contest sponsored by Craig Cornish, for an original poem on the theme of Ceraunophilia. My poem is a vivid look at a sudden lightning storm, charting a journey through the dark from a pounding pulse to electrified ecstasy and splendor. 

Veins in the Sky

The dark room is a canvas of hidden shades.
Vibrations from veins in the sky thrill as they fade.

My reflection catches a sudden, wide smile,
Awe-struck by an ambience so raw and frightful.

My heart skips; the pulse is electrified.
Pulsating sparks strike sharp like hidden teeth,
Illuminating bare floorboards and weary bones.

Unfettered liberty shocks like the first brush of lips.
A current travels all the way down my spine.
I marvel at this ecstasy, this fire’s heat.

Life's force takes hold when abandon grasps and tears.
Reluctance surrenders to endeavors of splendor.

Stark white strobes strike—the dark is vanquished,
Leaving the room to shake in the heavy wake.
