When the waves are pounding
and the winds are shouting,
trembling in the shadows,
you're crying out.

I will awake from my sleep
and call out to the storm.
Do not be afraid,
I will silence the waves.

Be still,
I crafted the oceans.
Peace, be still,
I set the wind into motion.
Be still.

*m.w.

She Bangs and Cracks
Rumbles and Moans
Rolls away to a distance
Thundering dark purple
Black as night grey edges
Her mood is defiant
Challenges all to contest
Her unruly ruling tempest

Red rolls the sky.
White flashes of anger;
Deep deep throated rumble
Shaking water;
Throwing it down
with the force of
thousands
pent up tantrums;
Months of silence.

love hangs around
waiting for the slightest
acknowledgement

then rushes in
full of everything
good

When the night falls
I falter to the what ifs
and drift into our old familiar seas
Like in a dream
One in which I wish I wouldn't wake
and hope to shake for it's breaking me
I carry the weight of every embrace
Now left to waste in the empty space left in my heart
Where you've made your mark
Before our depart
Carving your name
With such a beautiful art
You are my star so far
I beg my mind to stop envisioning you
I implore it to but it wont
and I don't know how to deal with this dread
That lays beside me each night in bed
