The Invisible Storm

Smiles in the eyes
and so it begins
splendored dawn of the hour,

basic rudiments
pre-dawn sins
before everything turns sour.

Misery loves company
the comfort tray
the manipulator stalks his ground,

an invisible catalyst
makes it's way
and appears with a thunderous sound.

Aftermath
ultra-shocking emotional pain
crying hearts begin to swell,

unjustified chaotic thunder
ruins a light rain
and you can't unring a bell.

Damage control
and it's far too late
the drama balloon sets sail,

a disastrous wake
and that hidden trait
will destroy love, without fail.

Hi Jayne....

...and thanks for such a generous compliment ! The other day, I must've written 8 or 9 poems ! I was on what some call a "roll", but so often, the caliber of the material can have a propensity to go slightly downhill...if you know what I mean, so I greatly appreciate your saying what you did ! Seriously, thanks again Jayne ! You are definatly a diamond in my eye ! Take care, "Write On"! Sincerely, #{:>{)}8==== docmaverick.
