your words are thundersnow
to my sunflower hands
your passion is lightning
hammering the wind
i gasp at the intensity of your emotions
as the skyscape darkens, swells
for a moment, i'm iced blue
then melting
i revel in the moment
of storm's ardor

How gorgeous, Grace. I am swooning over the opening couplet. ♡

Wonderful. I enjoyed the poem and the visions elicited. The title even caused visions, although they were musical (the song).
