Peaceful Rumblings

there’s much to love about rolling thunderstorms
and feeling safe at our cottage in the countryside

rumblings of thunder while rain splashes foliage
with its relentless pitter patter banter

a lightning show across the lake so we may savour
the peacefulness of it all, its feeling of surrender

a breeze gently swaying branches side to side
vibrant greens under the steely grey

Rumblings

ashen-faced neighbors
slow-motion explosion
the pretty dollhouse
melts into the cul-de-sac

The Haunting Adventures of a Dirty Blonde Knight-Reporting On the Rumblings

LeClaire was at his Traitors Post 
Getting a roast 
From the Indian seller 
One heck of a yeller 
“I did not have an affair!” 
She did swear 
“I sold this guy
What he wanted to buy 
A nice gift 
To give his new bride a lift” 
LeClaire 
Felt very scared 
There was no time to stop

Rumblings

My heart
It does rumble
Aching for
The sight of you
The feel of our hearts
Pressed together
Beating one beat
Beating one beat together

Distant Rumblings

Distant Rumblings

Distant rumblings
tug at my permanence.
Muffled metal
click-clack
of worn track,
soft metronome
of travel.
Iced roar
crystal contrails
plotting a course
through the heavens.
Far away hum -
rubber kissing
asphalt avenues
of escape.
Distant rumblings
tug at my permanence.

Hemispheric Rumblings

HEMISPHERIC RUMBLINGS 

Lightening that flashes between two hemispheres
Hail falling in droves behind the eyelid’s curtain
Showered hair standing up in precipitation’s fight
Each nerve ending sharing primordial foreboding

Distant Rumblings - For Choka Contest

Distant Rumblings 


A distant rumbling
slowly turns unwary heads,
anticipation’s curtsy
awaiting stillness.
Homage before the deluge.
The delicate staccato,
of clouded future,
cold touch, a victor’s mercy,
counting coup on flower beds.

Introspective Rumblings

Monsters lurk in dark corners of my mind;
fueling hate and raw, primal urges.
And adept at guile, cunning, and finesse,
they're invisible; thus invincible.

Preachers fishing for the souls of sinners;
use paradise as an alluring bait.
But a faith that is tainted by untruths;
retains the pungent aftertaste of lies.

Sane and insane coexist in my mind;
and I am unsure which

Hurt Rumblings

I am 
The moon 
The fluid dam 
You throw ash at me 
Like a volcano sore 
From the ancient deep of core 
Time melt your memory 
Into liquid convulsions 
What trace of me in rocks 
Was there for observations 
Is gone from broken bonds and locks 
Of love the murmurers broke away 
Your fire can
