Tryst On Fire

You brought me

thunder

I brought you

hail

To drown

within the storm

 

You coursed

inclement

I watched

you fall

Beclouded

and forlorn

 

Our vow

asunder

All hope

curtailed

In torrents

of lament

 

As lightning

 struck

Our tryst

on fire

To burn

— in loves regret
