I'm right here beside you
We're so far apart
Though as close as your heartbeat
You're hiding your heart.
You know what you want
But you can't face yourself
You fear who you are
Don't know how to tell.
If you're a spark
I'm combustion
If you're a cinder
I'm flame
I'm your end and beginning
The giver of names
The author of story
The wielder of time
The essence of glory
To your muck, toil and grime
In your pride you find fears
And in your hopes, tears
Yet I am the keeper of all of your years.
Behind you, beside you
Below you, above
I am the holder of all that you love
And your doubt keeps you arms length
Even as you would draw me in
But I am greater still than all that's within.
In your pride you withdraw
In your fear you withdrew
Can't bring yourself closer
So I come to you.

Cloudburst
A bearer of fury
An ominous bringer of rage
Ferocity
Raw, undiluted
Suspending this minute-less age
The world is an oyster I'm told
The irritants within bought and sold
You're never too young to grow old
Damn, ain't that a shame.
Slipped between two sides of shell
The insignificant swells
Into greedy little white hells
What's in a name?
What once was worthless now prized
What cost nothing now priced
If irritants are valued as nice
How much greater the shame.
Typhoon
With tsunami waves
Aggression, depression, insane.
Unleashed
Undammed in the fray
Uncoiling our desperate pain.
What will our folly create that remains?
What if true beauty's not human in shade?
Storms in a teacup
Rage in a cage
Are we changing to pearls
Are we better with age
Or are we too many to be truly appraised?
What if life's but a storm, quickly comes, quickly fades?
