Kiss of Lightning

Kiss of Lightning

A Poem by Simon Welsh
"

You electrify me with solemn grace

"

Give me your kiss of lightning
The rolling thunder cradles the ache
I feel stirring within me
Give me your kiss of lightning
A plateau to a world born anew
where someday, we shall start our new lives


Give me your kiss of lightning
and prove that life is beautiful
More than a fragile piece of truth
Give me your kiss of lightning
You electrify me with solemn grace
Just one kiss, one kiss, yeah

As the sun shines through the rain
I shall surely know true pain
Least till this stress fades away
I’ll think of you every day


Give me your kiss of lightning
A scarring strike that casts the night
into a white heat wonderland
Give me your kiss of lightning
A natural locomotive past the grey
into the yawning tunnel that leads to a new Heaven

Wow, this is so powerful. I feel like this should be a song or something. I love "Give me your kiss of lightning"
Kisses are usually associated with lightning ex: "your kiss electrified me" but the way you wrote it, it was fresh and not cliche.
I love your last stanza.

Makes me think of a place like the Grand Canyon with very dark clouds overhead and odd lightening striking the earth. The sun shines through the clouds at some point, though.
Well done. ^^

The repetition is effective and the sentiments nicely done. But your comment pre-title as an intro of "you electrify me with solemn grace" was what made me want to read the poem. I loved that line. Penny
