Of thunderbolts!
Don’t grow tall like palm-trees;
Sprout and spread your branches …...

unending cacophony
Raijin is playing tonight...

score rain and acorns —
thunderbolts of Autumn joy
relieve Summer’s heat.
bushy-tailed squirrels delirious.

Lightning
is creative burst
inside a biological cloud
channeled by an ink rod
in which thunderbolts
never strikes twice
on every line...

Blasphemous mankind

Overstepping nature's laws.
 
Zeus's thunderbolts strike!

Raindrops
Trickling down the windowpane
Thunderbolts
Sparking up the fire burn
Violent youths
Teaming up with the devil to reign
My personality
The victim of the system's cruelty...

Edgy waters
Flocking birds
Slashing rain
Shattering Thunderbolts
Gaping canals 
Waterfalls of trees 
What was I thinking
In slow whispers
As I read Mary Oliver
To learn about Nature
My journey as a poet has hardly begun
But being a poet is my strive...

In his likeness and,
Out of boundless love, he
Cursed the earth into existence.
Every man with a uniqueness which
Nourishes the sight.
When the clouds ladens and,
Thunderbolts rocks the earth,
Children fix their stares to the skies and,
Grace their eyes with arrays of wonderful colors....

Our eyes met and held through the glass; Oh so long since his arms I’d felt, but I know
this time will pass.

The sound of a thousand thunderbolts are in your eyes; And the lightning dances between
us, where the silence lies.

The ribbon of our love holds us heart to heart, and I know there is nothing; No time, no
distance, that can keep us apart....

Well done O Cruel well done
Burn my heart O God burn!

If I don’t burn my incense
It doesn’t emit fragrance!
If I don’t lit up my lamp
It gives no light in my camp!

When I become unconscious and life is so hard
Then God your harmful touch is your sweetest reward!

In fascination and shame
I can’t see you so hard game!
God set afire my darkness
By thunderbolts of sadness!...

Death is a step to letting go,
but it's not the last, not even the first.

Orgasms can be a little death,
in their letting go moments.

Thunderbolts of instant love
shake you out of yourself.

Is it time,
to stop clinging to that last hope,
that you, as a separate self,
actually exist?
Only you can tell.

If so, let go of that rope,
then fall as far as you need to....

O Mighty Zeus, your anger roars
Casting whelm each ravaging storm,
Is your ire so driven as to show disdain
Of nights for those so worn?

This mortal mire, so spent with drear
Has bent to the limits of homage,
Grant us ease and quiet lee,
Our tire wears no plumage.

Ask us not to bear your pains
Or the thunderbolts of your cyclops,
Soothe us with welcome patter
Thru rains of gentler drops....

ELEMENTS of DOUBT.

    Storms growing restless, impatiently squall.
    As thunderbolts rake, grey cloud leaden skies,
    Raindrops and hailstones, released to freefall.
    Shrieking winds screech, Armageddon's war cries.
    Summer lies bleeding, enslaved by it all.
    With flora and fauna, striving to rise,
    Nature survives, to enthral us again.
    Time's a great healer, when sunshine soothes pain.
