Wrapped Up In Lightening

another I wrote for my brother. I feel like this is what he and his wife's first meeting must have been like.

She came to me like a tornado

Wrapped up in lightening

And when I tried to walk upto her

Her storm knocked me to the ground

And I fell in love.

Even though she was only a few feet away

The hours it took me to walk to her

Brought me back to when I was a kid

And I was dirty and bad and late for curfew

And something told me she’d like me that way

So I walked into her world and fought back against the wind

Grabbed her by the mind and told her

“Take out a pen and write this down in your diary

Because every little girl wants to remember when

They meet their king and from this moment on you are royalty”

She stared me in the eyes for hours that were really seconds

The sparks in our hands igniting fires in our hearts

Burning down walls and trees and all the ghosts of the past

In the moment she fell in love me in return.

this was really good. the beginning especially impressed me. it takes a lot of nerve to approach a force of nature like that.
