Skies darken,

                    as billowy clouds 

                start to fill up the air.

           Whites give way to grays 

       then blacks with green mixed in.

The rains come in torrents, hail falls, and 

winds start to pick up seemingly out of nowhere.

The sirens sound and you know it’s for real.

             You pray the prayer of shame,

“Please not my city, not my street, not my house”.

        You hear the sound of a freight train 

                without any tracks near you.

Knowing what’s coming you enter your walk in closet and hunker down the best you can.

      You hear it come and then go abruptly.

Fortunately, it missed your house and neighborhood.

          Others, nearby, were not so lucky.

Losing all they’ve ever owned in 30 seconds.

Tempest Tryst ☔️💃🕺☔️

Dancing together like a single form.

Keeps emotions infinitely warm.

–

Thunder provides a steady beat.

To the rainy overture as dancers meet.

–

A flash of lightning brightens in light.

Providing a strobe for the duet tonight.

–

Dipping a partner in the growing breeze.

Winds wisp violently among the trees.

–

Hold each other in the potent deluge.

The soft inviting arms, a temporary refuge.

–

Kissing deeply in endless sheets of rain.

Serious doubts that either will complain.

–

Soft lips quenched drenched in moist dew.

Quickly stealing an embrace or two.

–

In an increasing maelstrom they twirl around.

Until resting together on dampened ground.

–

Passions increased, no care that it’s wet.

Seeing how much closer they can get.

–

Very dank clothes will get in the way.

Quickly removed as the dancers play.

–

Caressing hair, gently touching faces.

Warms insides, near, and faraway places.

–

Soaked to the bone, the puddles run deep.

Saturate two bodies in intimacy’s keep.

The end of the dance they dress in the rain.

–

Sweet and tender skin almost too much.

Goosebumps appear where their lips touch.

–

Their own fury matches that of the storm.

Now a dance on ground, again single form.

–

In water-logged clothes, none can complain.

–

Last a retreat: dry clothes, cottage, and fire.

A bed warm blanket, the dancers retire.

Hold On!!!

Duck and cover

Head for shelter

Protect, not hover

In the pending helter skelter.

–

Find a safe place

And hunker down

The storm is coming

Round and round.

–

The sirens are going

The time is near

The winds are really blowing

And the green sky is not clear.

–

A sound at first, distant

Starts to grow

Initially, a soft hiss

Then it starts to throw.

–

In between blasts of hail and rain

There was as a different sound

It’s something like a freight train

With everything twirling around.

–

Deep inside my hiding place

I hear objects hit the house

As the winds pick up there pace

I huddle quiet as a mouse.

–

Big things small things

Missles of all sizes

Crash through with a sting

Destroying all our prizes

–

I hold on tight

The worst is here

It won’t take me this night

Though that I fear.

–

I close my eyes

With fast beating heart

With tears and sighs

As my house is torn apart.

–

My ears pop

From the pressure of the wind

I pray for it to stop

And the tornado finally ascends…
