The Lightning Bolt

Zeus was the king of gods,

The god of sky and weather,

Law, order and fate.

A regal man,

                      Mature,

Sturdy figure,

                      Dark beard..

Royal sceptre,

                      Eagle..

O, how can I ever forget his passion for his Lightning Bolt,

No one dare touch?

Then again,

                                                                                                              I seek..

the power of lightning.

the cackle of thunder.

the massive electrostatic discharge.

                                                          AWAKENS MY SENSES

For years I have longed..

For your beloved bolt

But when I accepted that it could not be mine

And shall stand faithfully by your side..

M Y W A N D E R I N G S ended..fullstop

Another bolt greeted me...

No intention had I of embracing a new love...

For your bolt has been sown to my heart..

Sealed forever..

Inaccesible...

The keys are lost in my crimson pool of despair..

No one shall ever find it.

You have ruined the recesses of my heart.

                                                                                                                 *But, let me tell you something.

the key was unearthed.

found by true love.

brought a sparkle in my eyes

a glimmer in my sunshine

a power arose that beat                                                   the daylight out of..

dark and daunting thoughts.

I beamed that 1000-watt smile once again.

Thank you Mr. Lighting Bolt of Hello Poetry

For when you turn yellow, the electrons in me sizzle..Feel the spark, Zeus?
