As a Thunder

And then I loved you for the seconds
   it would last and those it didn't -
And then the rain came with the gleam 
   as a glimpse of your greatness - 
And the innermost fear lightning inside
   my head, build on your self multiforms -

As soon, as easy, you come back the
    worse for me and you, the never for you -
 As Werther I say: How many realities
   are enough so ignored childs can be received? -
As the only love the Daughter will ever really
    know, being high is somepart-low -

But your bittersweet fulfilled, softly, my heart - 
For which never knew so much - Further the feeling -
Form physical presence helding away from my brain, wondering to poise all the post modern fables.
