The storms approaches Upturns and downdrafts Shearing the silence In thundering rolls Attesting the forces of fright Piercing of electrified terror Shrieking arms of devastation Crackling into tree trunks Splintering them into toothpicks Sending limbs whirling in space Howling winds of demons advance Whiling tempest of banshee spirits Sends the ghosts packing to awakened graves Dogmatic principles cause no alarms In superficial fortresses of solid stone Palaces of whatnots on borrowed time The ground quakes its roaring triumph As wills shiver in pure panic Tumultuous clouds spiral in columns of horns To spear the ground as if toiling the ground The first conquest sends the rock spiraling Into the heavens as if a comet To crash into a new universe of sand Clawing its nails deeper than possible The breach the land in dancing stokes Gashing natures flesh into peelings As the skeletal remains litter perfection What demon has so much power That it swallows whole the history of dreams To leave a compost of olfactory stenches Regurgitating in pools of memories But the worst is not over For the wall advances Bulldozing as if an advancing army To leave nothing standing Decapitated dolls attest to the human toll Whose pain had been sucked out of them To be left as rag dolls praying With never ending force rising The heavens open up to snatch its prey In such a sudden summation The silence shocks the existing nerves Sending quakes spiraling within In uncontrolled shock of petrifaction From the terror within The now gentle breeze Smiles in its innocence As clouds now caress the skies But the static still clings to stagnant air As the surviving debris of a coffin Throws open its door to a flattened land As heads start to poke out of their graves As even the undead now know How lucky they were Email me if you want a critique on or off line at davelyoung1@hotmail.com D.Lester Young (05/14/02) Tuscaloosa, AL Copyright © D.Lester Young (White Eagle poetry) http://www.authorsden.com/visit/author.asp?AuthorID=5012 |
