melancholic tempests
clump eyelashes
as they spill from eyes
the same shade as July storms
pouring down onto expansive plains
inferno crimsons massacre sapphires
their anarchic contrast
paints fury as forehead creases form
nails clench and lash
striking and drawing scarlet
the same shade as their lighter fuel
yellows glaze over eyes
blinding outrage obsolete
as stars hide their soon supernova
golden honey intoxicates
syrupy relief drowns out acrimony
ash exploding from volcano outbursts
obscures the sun and blankets oceans
a sullen shade elicits numb
as fingers turn on December nights
