    • There is Salvation and Damnnation within the choice of words we define ourselves with.

    The Storm

     Summer heat night full of stars
    cool sweating drink in hand
    body relaxed mind quieting down
    Then FLASH .............................................................................................CRASH

    Light fills the sky
    Sound floods your ears
    Fear strikes your heart
    FLASH.............................................................................................CRASH

    Again the light that makes you want to turn away
    and yet compels you to watch like a horrible train wreck
    Drip drip Splash water dances on bare skin cool and warm all at the same time
    FLASH................................................................................CRASH

    Coming so close danger creeping in
    wishing to run and hide but frozen in a spell of curiosity
    Raindrops play a sensual dance with your body
    sliding down your neck and back deep within your clothes
    FLASH.................................................................CRASH

    Terrifying yet arousing every sense in your body
    drawing so close yet not quiet near you
    like an experienced lover savoring the innocence of a virgin's body
    FLASH.....................................................CRASH

    The wind screams at you in a loud deafening voice
    The trees and plants lear at you angrily
    Danger has arrived
    FLASH.........................................CRASH

    The whole world seems to have fallen away into the darkness
    Your body trembles with passion and fear
    Awe, amazement, and uncontrollable fear drip from every inch of your body
    FLASH.............................CRASH

    More passion than making love
    More violent than murder
    This constant struggle between Human nature and Mother nature
    SILENCE........................................................................

    Just as quickly as it came the rage is gone
    the moon reappears, the stars once again shine bright
    once again you are left alone on a warm summer's night

    There is something about our Lake Michigan. It stimulates poetry. Those that have not seen it or lived here.... Oh well. By the way this is also great poetry.

    The perfect warm summer's night. These are my favorite lines Coming so close danger creeping in wishing to run and hide but frozen in a spell of curiosity I think you described the perfect summer storm. Your imagery really pulls the reader in and it has a good flow. Latin Angel

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
