Thunder Run

Thunder, do not leave me.
I need your hit.
I need your rage.
I need your sudden struck, hit, hot.
Don't leave me here: mundane, singing lullaby, nurture, sleep.
Thunder, do not escape.
Bring back your raging slap.
Thunder, you running with me on that hidden railroad.
Your rage keeps me running.
Don't leave me here
or I will sleep
and captured, I will be.
Thunder, do not dare you leave me.
You are my master
who keeps me running.

Her

 Church is loud and hidden. Full of praise, unprecedented resilience. She bites an apple, then walks into an eternal city. She rests on Sabbath, then battles ignorance. Strong and faulted, given grace and Jerusalem walls. She hides her beauty while Jesus peers significant.

Shy Suicide

Disclaimer: This poem was inspired by someone else's struggle with suicide. Don't worry I am not suicidal. Suicide, why do you hide beneath my white skin? Suicide, why do use my fake smile for your sin? Suicide, why do you keep your cover until the rope is tight, the trigger is pulled, the pills are swallowed, the wrists slit? A black phantom behind my face. A dark word behind my lips. A night in my day. Suicide, why do you ensnare all my companions? They didn’t know. They didn’t see. They didn’t recognize who had overtaken me. You left a message on paper; they read in disbelief. Suicide, you are shy, and yet you have the audacity to kill me.

Unstable

 The clouds are unstable So too are the waves But my faith is stable, solid. Rally and debate is unstable. Fire and Water too. But, God hold us safe.
