Fortune allows us to
wed and to bed
flirting with the forces of nature
the eyes have it
ahead of yesternight betrayed
the decision is made
waves of lightening
scorch the air
revealing a power
that few can share
away the thunder beckons
the promise of jasmine
to bloom without
requirement
and danger
to endure thy tears
to collect thy smiles
reports
ascend to heaven
on the lotus throne
a pearl to every guard
running from my contrition
aware of my deep contention
crimson twilight bursts in thunder
once again
salient tapestries forbid encroachment
trolls and wizards
painfully respond in destruction
of the old ways now unsettled
promises sanctuary for the untrodden
