Misery [July 18, 2016]A Poem by Dillan CourtrightThe abyss within the sky burns with streams of lightning The rain falls, soaked in blood, a shining crimson The wind howls raging with the roaring thunder One man stands alone, at its flaming center
Tears of misery stream down her broken face A storm so beautiful, falling out of place She wields steel, dripping and tainted She has raw power, he has come to claim it
He stands within her violent wrath Tornadoes tearing at him, into his past She suffers before him, crying in agony Tortured by his memories, by her own misery
She controls the storm with her emotions He seeks destruction, pain and ruin She stands before him, a goddess of nature He stands a man, who fights for his desire
They clash, they shatter, they break Their dance brings them together, blade to blade Their steel reverberates with a sound of piercing light Their fight breathes life into the dark of the night
Their battle is over, but it never ends Their emotions clash, but never bends A thousand years of crying, fighting, infinite misery For she is the thunder and he is the lightning © 2017 Dillan Courtright |
