You leaned in close and said, "There is no lull before the storm" You warned me about the wrath of gods like you, That you were born with lightning inside And this is why when you cry, A terrible flood sweeps across the land I hold you near and the earth is shaking beneath our feet You said, "You are the lull before the storm," And you kiss me like thunder, you kiss me hard That I am a mountain leveled flat And this is why your heart is not mine – That when I leave, I cannot take it with me Like Mjolnir in Thor’s hand, A heart is like a hammer

That Which Smashes
You leaned in close and said, "There is no lull before the storm" You warned me about the wrath of gods like you, That you were born with lightning inside And this is why when you cry, A terrible flood sweeps across the land I hold you near and the earth is shaking beneath our feet You said, "You are the lull before the storm," And you kiss me like thunder, you kiss me hard That I am a mountain leveled flat And this is why your heart is not mine – That when I leave, I cannot take it with me Like Mjolnir in Thor’s hand, A heart is like a hammer
A poem based on Thor, the god of lightning and thunder in Norse mythology
