#earthquake poems on Hello Poetry

AM May 2016

he was as scared as I was
I can tell cause he was steady
—he was a mountain and I,
I shook him with my earthquake

none of us can handle each other
none of this are wrong
and nothing else feels more right
oh, Lord, we are so in love

Earthquake

I wanted you...
But you said you couldn't choose
I gave you love not expecting any in return
While she yearned for more than just your affection
I provided you with a solid, reliable ground
But you desired an earthquake
You wanted her...

shaking tragedy

i find myself wishing,
that history does not repeat itself.
especially not
on the anniversary of sad events.

since it was almost exactly a year ago
that tragedy struck and lives
came crashing to the ground.

almost a year ago, and i don't want to see
the tears and pain resurface from cracks again.

Neurotic

The rumbling of the coming earthquake
echoes beneath my surface,
threatening the very idea of normality.

~~ Writing poetry for you could never be more incredible, even if I may collapse with every word I write. ~~

So Close

So close to the edge, one lose pebble could send me plummeting
And I feel an earthquake coming

Emotionally Naked

Black rainbow
Dreams mixed in a cup of hurricane
Hopes flowing on the surface of the  tsunami
Desires and lusts breaking me  as a 7° degree earthquake
Anger and bruises burning into my  skin like a lava of a legendary volcano.

earthquake

his teeth marked my thighs like love letters written in braille. lightly, running my fingers through his hair like guitar strings and moaning harmonies through my lips. I swear, I could feel earthquakes erupting inside me as hot lava danced down my skin.

Crossroads To Himalayas

Difficult to say it is a crisis of faith

Deadlock stubbornly cracked

Divide intensified with fact so backed

****** is truth, lost memory's wraith

"Who's to blame?" as so often "they" saith

Forget this daft idyllic hope, loyalty

To nothing has my life compared

And as most humans, no heartache spared

No limits to its reverence and constancy

As God shapeshifted, any form but royalty

Kings of Kings, my Makers, Lords on High

Omnipotent theories to query

Over verses I've traveled, all but Kashmiri

Reasonably these to view before bye-bye

Off I am to Pir Panjal, where I shall quake and die

Written after earthquake in Nepal, which had brought sad memories of my time in South Asia.

Earthquake

you were afraid of what we could become
addicted to destructive love
I've flirted with disasters but
You'll always be my favorite one

Like an earthquake you're sudden
a force I'm not worthy of
but a shift underneath
causes panic above

your unforeseen departure
left me five feet below
under rocks of desolation
in a deluge of woe

you tried, but never tried enough
always said you hated love
if I'd known what an earthquake could do
I'd rather be here than above

It's worth it though it sounds insane
I'm lucky to have known your name
you were something different
in a world that always looks the same

take it for what you will

beautiful destruction

I am an earthquake. I shake up other people's lives and shatter their worlds. I swallow everything of theirs in greed, stealing every moment of their day in my selfish demands.

But he still chases me, records me down, keeps account of me and tells me that my destruction is beautiful, it's what makes me. He says he wants to keep on watching me, hoping to save me one day.

Somehow I feel like protecting him from myself. Somehow I want to destroy him.

Or maybe I can destroy myself first. That would destroy him.
