    The Rage | Poem

    poetry about storms

    Beauty Loves The Beast~ Judith Shaw

    As I sat on the porch at 2 in the morning, a mighty storm passed through the landscape around me- crashing into the primal tempest boiling in my soul.

    This poem is the result…

    The Rage

    Rain driving through concrete
    Wood, trees, and asphalt
    Thor’s mighty hammer rattling
    All life shivers to a halt
    Lightning cracking fragile air
    Splitting angry skies
    All the while, the beast paces
    Fire growing in his eyes
    The storm screams and rages
    He begins a searing howl
    Tearing at my widespread ribs
    Your name is his growl
    You have opened his cage
    Sniffiing through ozone
    Looking past wind bent trees
    Snarling ’cause you’re the one
    Some would say lightning struck
    In a very bad way
    But I say let the primal beast live
    Let him have his day
    Through his storms and boiling rage
    His being makes me alive
    He belongs to only you
    From him, you can’t hide
    His eyes aglow with lightning fire
    There’s thunder in his chest
    Your name bellows like pounding rain
    He comes for you from the west.
    Take and soothe the mighty being
    Purr to him, make him melt
    While he claims you again and again
    Only you know the ache he’s dealt
    Rain, wind, thunder, and lightning
    Primal screams and love making chills
    The beast must be allowed to rage
    And soothe your rain, make it still
    I am he, and his storm is yours
