Storm breaks

Folder:

blacken clouds like boulders rumble

     racing as spears of light flashed down

howling the air rips over the dark darkened land

     tearing at all stand before it

 

wild crashing aquamarine peaks flung high

     roaring thunder crashing trembles the very air

tearing ripping clawing at the shore

     retreating waves pulling carrying away

 

banners wildly flapping in the tearing air

     ripping torn to tatters streaming in the wind

symbols of mere men against nature fails

     snapping popping flapping quickly torn away

 

trapped within the rock's cold

     seeking to find escape

climbing up to the battlements

     longing to be free

 

white linen by the wind and rain formed

     pressed against the trembling flesh

hair blonde torn from the pins

     flowing in the wind

 

towering above the crashing surf

     bare rocks lie exposed by time

buttress mighty bearing up

     ancient castle in the sky

 

water tears at tiny rocks

     flowing they fall away

larger stones then are free

     to slip and fall away

 

ancient way of Roman stone

     ascends from plain below

twisting turning up mighty slope

     to plateau where the castle reigns

 

armor tarnished no longer bright

     dents and scratches beyond repair

stallion mounted ascending up

     wearied by journeyed long

 

boulder great long buried within

     beyond all knowledge of man

now kissed by the ocean waves

     as surroundings stone washes away

 

dungeon steep cold and dank

     begin to slip and  crack

as cold water slips within

     and founding stones slip away

 

quiet trembling grow beneath

     movement slow begins

mighty rocks now slip away

     roaring sea claims it all
