The Tempest

This is my latest poem that was published on 'Soft Whispers' blog site.

there has never been pain
like the clash of kindred spirits
from a tempest so intense - a marriage
of like minds connected between a thin thread
of similar design, or
a familiar pattern to be read,
so comfortable and so blind

then

drawn suddenly taut and strained,
trembling entropy, where passes blame -
it snaps like thunder crashing;
lightning reflects, eyes flashing
and rages stabbing from each barbed tongue:
our cages ripped wide open, but
all of our traps have sprung

and

this is what the tempest left behind:
there has never been pain
like yours and mine

  1. How powerfully you have caught the dynamics of love that carries to the heights but then dashes to pieces. Your metaphors create flash scenes and I feel the awful desolation of endings and the way they happen...the love replaced by elements of hatred.
