Sting of the Storm

by FTS Miles   Nov 20, 2004


It's cold
(this rain),
licking down my back and thighs, and
it's cold
(this wind),
embracing my shivering flesh, but
it's hot
(this kiss),
her lips upon my throat,
her Hunger 'pon my heart...

...so I endure the
sting of this midnight storm
for it veils the beat of crimson
to her tongue.

    This one is cleverly weaved with a bit of hidden passionate love... I'm not quite sure whether it has anything at all to do with an actual storm, or if it's simply a metaphor... either way, extremely enjoyable piece...

    wow, love the imagery. "licking down my back and thighs," iloved how you painted a picture of the storm and used simple details to make it more beautiful and effective. i really appreciated the last stance, "so I endure the
    sting of this midnight storm
    for it veils the beat of crimson
    to her tongue. "
    i love that you cokpare the girl, (or relationship?) to a storm and your choicer of symbolism and imagery is impecible, keep it up
