Short Levies Poems

They say "This too shall pass"
it helps me to stay sane
right now we need the sunshine
but all we've got is rain

An all encompassing virus
earthquakes everywhere
storms are crumbling levies
our world is full of fear

Recovery's what we hope for
many things have changed
I’m planning for the future
though my life’s been rearranged...

Unbearable heat; 
My hormones mix with your sweat 
mingling as one; 

Earnest thunder roars; 
Hail beats along with our hearts, 
passionate measure;

Ravaged by lightning
flushed sky blends with flashing eyes;
Particles charge up;

Torrential water; 
Overwhelming flash flooding 
destroys our levies;

Breathing never forgotten,
caught in wild summer rainstorms....

Geese follow a southern flight path,
fearing Winter's a psychopath;
and honk as they flee Her wrath.

Autumn's buried without a trace,
while Winter whiteouts set the pace;
and icy winds slap my face.

I feel the sting of Winter's bite,
lying low in Her gown of white;
lashing out with all Her might.

A femme fatale, a heart of ice,
Winter is anything but nice;
She always levies a price....

As the rain falls day after day
The levies start to break away
The roads are flooded everywhere
No way to get from here to there
The skies open and cry again
As the rising waters box us in
Sometimes the pain of old man winter
Hurts just like a festering splinter
But that’s ok we have seen it all before
As once again the skies start to pour
Just when you think its over you should know
The true flood comes with the melting snow...

Once pierced by Cupid's arrow,
love's the only thing you feel.
For Hope banishes all pain
to the fringes of real.

As euphoria floods in,
sparks spontaneously start.
And a warm sensation stirs;
in the cockles of your heart.

Forged upon desire's anvil;
fantasies burn hot as coal.
And tides of hope surge and ebb;
in a lonely heart and soul.

Freed by the passage of time;
anxieties drift away.
And though love levies a toll,
it's one that hearts gladly pay....
