Thunderstruck

 

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

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