Before the storm.


In all love’s interest am I a darkest storm
For your love has made me sensually deep
As dangerous as any hard thunder’s form
Which causes me to love in action’s sleep.
Passion finds my wanting has no control
That I wrest, wild, from you a lusting soul

In you have I learned about a wildest tide
All emotion’s tempest in poor need’s forcing
In my taking have I laughed and cried
So love has found me from calm divorcing.
In naked sense were you a raft of pleasure
To tongue the tasting of love’s dear treasure

In this element, out of depth, am I aground
All tidal waves, swollen thrusting current
The good and a very worst is now found
A rush to shore in the foams’ white torrent
You limpet-cling to a crash of this thunder
Moaned as impact drove soft lips asunder

You have given my heart an inner sight
This reaction to passion’s awkward role
Calm were the days, then stormy nights
No good behaviour which earns parole
No safe harbour was for this ship in plight
Savage seas of love rained down this night

You brought me to love, with its coldest blast
Then sensual heat which left me over-warm
And mixed blessings when, over, at last
You loved me gentle, before the next storm
Calming the storm, your soft form shielding
I could feel passions’ waves start re-building.

Like Ann said, nice to see you back again, enjoyed the poem.

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.
