HEAT

© Gloria Smith 2011

You are lightning
White hot madness in my soul
Heat and fire and searing thought
You strike
And I lay mesmerized 
Beneath your control
Aflame and dazed I wander on
Through a haze of smoke filled days
And wonder... 
Oh mercy... another crack of thunder


MELANCHOLY

Sadness...
All prevailing sadness
A consuming madness
Monster in the night
Devil's advocate
Extinguishing the light
With no arms to hold you tight
It offers solace in the dark
Sparkling tears within your cup
Oh gaze upward lonely soul
Lest Heaven frown
And you perish
In your soft silken gown
