Description
Rain, relentless, in the poets head
Droplets, like tears, his second skin
Thunder rolls, of uninvited awareness
In the valley of ill-begotten dreams
He walks, withdrawn
And often silent,
Save his own gutteral cry
Unleashed, against wind's pale breast,
Beknownst truly, only unto himself,
Steeped, yet seeking refuge,
From the soul-ravage
Of earthly injustices
Lightning strikes, those nearest him
(And who amongst them will say
It never strikes twice?)
Small creatures' pads sense
Ever-present microshocks,
And run, for wisely chosen cover,
An ache for self-protection,
In parting, he weeps
But, the poet never rests
As long as breath is his
He walks, his stepmillion miles,
Amidst mind-paths, unravelling
His senses disallowing shelter,
The eternally brewing storm,
Within

Beautiful poetry and image to fit. It always wakes up a lttle green jealous being inside me when I read others poertry, because I would so very much be able to do it myself(we have a lot of poets in my family) I comfort myself though, by saying that my images are my poetry, and that's not a bad thing. LOL

A lovely poem to suit the image. I can see and feel the storm all around. Beautiful work.

Great image and even better words. Sets a very intense mood.

The Poets always revealed in the light of their own poems: from darkness to light, the colors between, but never the absolutes reached: as ever deeper unveiling, baring the soul, naked... Nice poetry Gaia Driel...

This is so beautiful and powerful.... If one recognizes the emotions and feel them creeping inside the soul, then what more could a poem aim for. I'm seriously impressed....

I'm running out of superlatives - so I'll stick to plain words. I can relate completely and I thoroughly enjoyed the read. Mike
