Storm Heart

There is a storm within my heart,
it rages through my bloodstream
and I can feel the dark clouds rolling in,
you know the look in my eyes when
the squall is about to rise,
the air hangs with static,
only you can quiet it,
your touch ebbs away the growing force
building to break,
your love is a torrent that sweeps
through because you know
my passions can be dark and violent,
they consume me,
but you are the sanctuary
that allows my tempest to disperse,
you can bare the full brunt of it,
slowly it recedes once more
while your arms hold me close,
keep me from bursting apart.
