Chapter 9 - 9: Dark and Stormy

Storm my heart.

Make it thunder and boom.

Churn the winds violently

So much that it may

Sweep away the sailors at sea.

***

Drown me beneath the waves

Fill my lungs with sea-watered storm

Flash my eyes with lightning.

Azure.

Boom.

***

Tear apart the hull of my ship

Split the mast

Storm the bridge

Capture my captain's cabin

And drink from my cup.

***

Storm the beachhead

The fortresses standing tall

Great Ocean swallowing the sands

Storm cracks the skies like glass

And electricity lights my veins. 

***

And when I touch the deep floor

Where everything is still and gentle

Eyes closed in slumber

Awaiting my precious storm.

Raise me aloft, eyes open.

***

Face the storm

Storm my heart

O'great storm!

Love does not come to you.

You must seize it.
