It hurts when you quarrel with the one you love, pent-up pressures begin building up inside; till a trickle of tears spawns a raging storm, fueled by anger. As the air crackles with lightning emotions, tensions tighten, almost to the breaking point, as you feel the pain, love, and anger conflict; vying for your heart. It's impossible to erase spoken words, and yet, their potency decreases with time; weakened by apologizes and regrets, anger fizzles out. When lovers fight, there's no winner or loser; both willingly capitulate in the end, for when the tears dry and the thunderclaps cease; love shakes off the storm.

Emile, your metaphorical use is spellbinding, hence, your witticism is well exposed, as Franklin said, "What use is there putting the sundial in the shade." An admirable piece my friend, with my compliments, Aloha!
