Under Swell of Passion

Under Swell of Passion

A Poem by Helen Woodward


The clock ticks to pacify

Hungry hearts of longing

And as the rolling under swell of passion

Turns heads to thinking 'love'

Romantic imperfections run amok


Amorous birds of prey fly high

Ruling the skies thunderous with pain

Searching the colonies of like minded

But muses scatter flippantly

Boundless through forests dense


The head can never rule the heart

Yet the heart can so swiftly rule the head

Thunder rolls...fever pitches...the wind blows

Relaying messages of pending satisfaction

But alas! The lark and the Dove cannot be found


The wet dew and dripping trees of his imagination

Are shrivelled to menacing

Isolation is bearing down on him

With jealousy and fear of loss...


And the clock ticks louder

As he gives way to ruthless abandon...


Frozen in time he wakes from his sleep

Enlightened...

"The head can never rule the heart
Yet the heart can so swiftly rule the head
Thunder rolls...fever pitches...the wind blows
Relaying messages of pending satisfaction
But alas! The lark and the Dove cannot be found"
