The Solace of Storm

The Solace of Storm
by Michael Warren Grant

Mesmerizing, raindrops

falling upon a pool.

Ripples akin to psychedelic

incantations.


Arousing, lightning

rubbing and grinding,

release akin to celestial

orgasm.


The solace of a storm,

womb-like, the blanketing

rain. An excuse to be shuttered?

Nay, an opportunity to retreat.


The sky, he thrusts sporadically.

I see a flash across her face,

then hear the thunder

of her moans. I bathe

in their diluvian outpourings.

Their chalice emptied,

to be renewed by hot

and cold fronts combining;

the migration of birds.


A volley of hail covers the sky

as ten thousand English arrows

rend her landscape.

A lovers spat, his tears made hard

by cold shoulder.


The roaring of the rain

is turned up to ten -

there is no formula

for predicting what climax

will be reached next.


I gaze like stunned spectator

for each fresh revelation.

Masterful play-writes, the sky

and ground; commercially

inviable, and so forgotten.


Though the show has gone on

too long - the audience, exhausted

by this heart-holding display,

wish only a return to mundane,

yet we cannot turn away.


Another flash!

Another drumroll!

Another flutter,

Within my heart-hold!
