Her Stormy Eyes Drown My Soul

l

A swirl of clouds mounts your eyes

the stormy portents shudder my heart

sunbeams of hope no longer filter through

the cool winds of rejection blow

I seek shelter in your rearview

as storms roll across the surface

stinging drops sprinkle from your

dilated lens, the regret condenses

in your briny pores, and tears of

salty remorse crest o'er the awnings

incessant drips stream into puddles

mirror images refract, my shadow

lies in a trance languishing in your wake

intermittently scorned by sonic booms,

thunderous waves pulsing from dark 

corners, tremors of disdain pound my

nerves, the friction builds, your eyes

flutter, then snap, the shocking bolts

singe my ungrounded bearings

my fibrillating heart flounders

as love's pitter patter ebbs, wanes,

then flatlines, and your gushing 

torrents drown my beached soul
