A WITCHES WRATH

Mirabella's anger grew and the clouds darkened, swirling winds caused the waves to surge and roil. Lightening ripped the sky open, and thunder shattered eardrums. Mirabella watched the ships struggling to port.

Waves overwhelmed most, but the yacht Abandon still floated. How apropos, she thought, abandon me to sail into your new life with my sister. "Not today," she roared!

Finally, the Abandon disappeared under a monstrous wave, Mirabella smiled. Vengeance is so sweet, she thought.

Nevertheless, the winds grew. A Hurricane formed. The gates to hell opened and Mirabella knew the indisputable power of wrath and her sister Isabella.

AN EMOTIONAL TORRENT


It's drizzling today. I love when it rains.

Rain turns the brown grass green, 

clears the air of pollutants, 

and feeds thirsty roots.

It's inclement again. I hate rain.

Rain shields the sun, limits fun, 

and when the clouds go dark, 

my mind follows.

It's pouring today. I love the rain.

Rain washes away blood,

 leaves my soul shiny and new, 

and promises forgiveness.

It's still damp. I hate rain.

Rain creates a gloomy day,

the mind wanders, 

and memories of murder 

haunt with desires for more.

It's storming now. 

I love a tempest,

 especially when

 I've murder in mind.

ENGINE 7 5 0 2 9

Seven years we were wed
Five million tears now shed
I pushed you in a rage
Not realizing I'd be caged
Onto the tracks, you fell
At the clang of the engine's bell

That moment's a blur
But witnesses concur
Zero friends have rallied
Their votes I have tallied
Instead, to her they throng
There is nowhere I belong

Two lives' you transformed
On that train platform
My heart was broken
When loves loss was spoken
For I alone held deed
To all your desires and needs

Nine days till the hangman's noose
Did she seduce
These thoughts I still ponder
For time, I can squander
Were you smitten
Did she make your heart quicken

My only regret
I couldn't kill Yvette
But if curses are true
She'll soon be blue
Her breath I'll steal
Your money made the deal

I want your pardon
To walk in heavens garden
Will you find it in your heart
Will death mean a new start
Or has destiny showed 
Hell, as our new abode?

I'm no poet
as surly this shows
but after hours of trying
I wasn't denying
my prose a chance to shine
or it's place in the annuals of time.

(In other words, I had nothing else!) :)

Here's a lot more!

FORGIVE ME


Brought to you by Priceless Joy!

This week's photo prompt is provided by Sonya with

 the blog, Only 100 Words. Thank you Sonya!

FORGIVE ME

          I recall your strength, and how safe I felt in your arms, your laugh, and our happiness, your love, and the plans we made. But now, three years hence, I remember our farewell, and your promise to come back victorious.

          For us there'll be no triumph, your brother demands my troth. If I say no, your death he's guaranteed. I can't, no man will take that which I don't give in love.

          The view stretches to the mountains, but the desert beyond is where the fighting rages. My journey is shorter, the rocks below.

          Forgive me, my love. . .
