Outcry

Discretionary tears puddle the lawn
Convulsing in the wind, the sky spends its downpour
Aspiring to be the sea, in vertical tide
Change is messy

Elongated strikes of electric lighted mania
Fused purple and blue made sword and victor
Flooding the sidewalks, rippled and muddied
There is often beauty in chaos

The stirring of inquisitive colors that peace would never dredge
Gentleness would never hedge, the shimmer of newness
Cleansed and sweet, the drowning out of silence

Shiny lakes swallow the grass, so soft
In the warm and steamy evening curtailing of deluge
After every moment seems a lifetime long
Almost passion, hinted in thunderous repeat

Although, I know your smile, even in the rain

I love this.  Besides the beauty in its entirety and in each word, I loved the conceptual format of the last line of each stanza explaining and summarising the stanza, and I particularly loved the enigmatic "although" in the last line that leaves me wondering and pondering as to its meaning.

OMG, you are such a brilliant and vivacious poetess.  
Even the chaos is a sight to behold through your eyes.

I always look forward to reading you, time and time again.
