Force of Nature
Comparisons of love and nature have appeared in song like “I feel the earth move” by Carole King, and “Thunder in my heart” by Leo Sayer. Here is my extended metaphor for a love-themed February.
Force of Nature
You’re a force of nature
when we make love.
You’re vibrations shake the
foundations of the earth causing
the highest mountain peaks to
turn into fertile valleys of emotion,
and waterfalls form from
fractured rocks revealing
hidden suppressed feelings.
These feelings flow into
my heart and make me
remain through the aftershocks.
I hear the thunder sound
after the lightning strikes
the electricity in my soul.
This is an experience only
both of us could know.
