Night of Thunder On a night of restless slumber Pouring rain and breaking thunder I began to turn and wonder If you'd ever come to me What is in tomorrow looming Love's desire to be dooming Why does my heart keep assuming You will not come back to me There you are a prince of passion Living freely in your fashion Will the hour allow you ration Just a moment, just for me Oh, night of endless storm and lightening! Visions seem too bleak and frightening Pray that you will do the right thing And come sailing home to me Love's own bliss is too enthralling Tears of hope and pain are falling Can't you hear my passion calling From across the endless sea How long ago that night of thunder Youthful heart in thralls of wonder Now in shadows dark and somber Visions of your face I see All is well and all forgiven But the haunting lover's vision Through the years has always driven Thoughts of you across the sea My heart must wait another hour Another lifetime love to flower May God give me the heavenly power To draw your spirit close to me Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 12-06-1999).] |

Elizabeth, my friend - First it made me think to check the weather. Then I quickly surmised that the raging storm was taking place in the poet's heart. You have a wonderful day. *~Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge, Now GET TO WORK! Have a great day and thanks! First Knight It's pouring here in Pennsylvania, perhaps that's what inspired this poem. But then again, it's hard to conjure up something that you're not relly feeling Thank you so much Kamla, GET TO BED! This will still be here tomorrow. Sweet dreams Elizabeth |

Beautiful Elizabeth. . . simply beautiful! I was reminded of Poe's "The Raven" as I read it. . . Wonderful. . . That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Yes, it sure is raining in Pennsylvania! But they say it should clear up tonight and then tomorrow - Sunshine! Can't wait! Beautiful poem, Elizabeth! You certainly have a talent for expressing so beautifully what is within you! I enjoy everything of yours that I have read and this is no exception! Denise |

Elizabeth, This poem is exquisite. It makes my thoughts to inter mingle With your words that seem to tingle. Walks upon my tender spine, With every word and every line. |
