Cloudburst

When a powerful love runs its course, heartbreak pulls no punches.

 

Cloudburst

~

you hit like a cloudburst
a thunderstorm of love
kisses hot as lightning
striking from above

your tempest pulled no punches
I was swept up in its force
but now the winds have died
this storm has run its course

my thoughts are chilled and cloudy
my eyes are steady rain
my heart’s caught in a cold front
bad weather’s bringing pain

warm winds may return
perhaps so clear blue skies
but my heart will ever yearn
t’see that sunburst in your eyes

~ ~ ~

Poetry is a statement of empowerment, that sets the soul free, to be exactly who you are — and in being just that, to introduce your truth to the world!

Jumping


“Indigo Sky Mares” by: Laurel Burch

 

Jumping

~

– NOTE: “jumping” as in steeplechase. –

I am hunkered down
leaned forward low
my knees gripped firm
to stay fluid in the flow

rising effortlessly high
t’ward clouds of pearl white
clearing every hurdle
landing sure and light

steed of goddess magic
possessed of purest heart
endurance that’s olympic
ride’s steady from the start

I gallop her freely reined
letting soar the sterling soul
her spirit not restrained
the joy of freedom is the goal

arching gracefully through the air
jumping an indigo sky mare
