Lightning

by isabel   Nov 16, 2008


Struck by a lightning, in a dark night
While nightingale's songs fade to silence
Flowing shadows embrace the light
While floating in life's purest essence

The wind conspires with dark clouds
The arrival of this storm shall be soon
A lightning that could destroy crowds
Falls upon the soft shine of the moon

Electricity running through my veins
The sound of the thunder, from high above
Is the confusing beat that my heart sustains
Struck by the lightning that you call love

    "The wind conspires with dark clouds
    The arrival of this storm shall be soon
    A lightning that could destroy crowds
    Falls upon the soft shine of the moon"
    That last line was really neat. I'd never heard that before.
    "Electricity running through my veins
    The sound of the thunder, from high above
    Is the confusing beat that my heart sustains
    Struck by the lightning that you call love"
    Again, the last line was a really powerful point. It was a great poem to read for me. It was visual in a dark, romantic way. I loved it!

    Very nice write with great flow and structure through out. I loved your choice of words as well.

    I noticed that in this poem you don't use puncuation through out. Using puncuation will not only help the reader to know when to pause or stop. I can't stress it enough, puncuation is a big part of making it flow better as well the overall structure (which in your case is good except for the fact you have no puncuation)

    Peace, Joe
