The proposal

Her long flaxen hair's strewn about her face, adorning the pillow.
Large transluscent blue eyes resonate a roaring tornado aglow.
Images darting at rapid speed, a quavering illusion
where thoughts are bouncing like a Tarantino confusion.
Did she howl at the moon, ready to swoon?
Being caressed by smoldering waves
and yearning for the magnificent magnitude of swelling octaves.
A spring storm playing havoc in her head
where turbulent emotions run amok from dread.
Grasping branches whipping against her brain,
she's running barefoot in the sand, struggling to reach sane.
Sweltering rays of a sensational summer sun,
making boisterous gulls fly away to none.
The vast horizon with a tempestuous open sky,
arms stretch so wide to touch the tips of her sigh.
With the surge of an amazing rupture from her haze
she ignites their formidable union and sparks its blaze.

Hello

It is nice to meet you. I very much enjoyed your poem full of dark imagery. My favorite lines: Did she howl at the moon, ready to swoon? Being caressed by smoldering waves and yearning for the magnificent magnitude of swelling octaves. A spring storm playing havoc in her head where turbulent emotions run amok from dread. Grasping branches whipping against her brain, she’s running barefoot in the sand, struggling to reach sane. Always, Cat
