Heart Breaker

Heart Breaker
She pounds the ground
Pounding
Resounding
Shaking the earth
Making it quake
Deeper than her heart break
Her hot lava erupts
Into a burning rage
Releasing the beast from with in its cage
A demon you need to see
Rising up and standing free
Standing
Towering
Powering
From the crusted exterior
She ruptures again
No longer small and defeated
Her eyes and her heart heated
She clenches in her fist
Your unity
Charred
Her magma escaping
Cataclysmically into the atmosphere
Pulverized from her eruption
A naturally occurring destruction

Wow! Powerful.
I’m trying to explore with writing a little ‘darker’.
Given it’s Halloween I thought this one slightly ‘fitting’.
It definitely does seem fitting for Halloween, nice job!
It is really good. You can feel the emotion through the words.
Perfect. Thank you for letting me know. It means a lot to me.
You are welcome. Keep on writing! I learned long ago that about 10% of what I write is truly exceptional, so I have to write a lot, because the majority of it falls flat for whatever reason. The readers are my critics. On the days I think I have a poetry hit, it flops, and on other days the one I think sucks, is loved by everyone.
I concur. Beautiful. Powerful.
Thank you so much. I’m glad to hear it made an impact on you.
I love it so deep beautiful
Thank you Nicki 🙂
The poem is powerful and beautiful, and the photo is AmAzing!
Thank you Melody. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I write first and then find an image afterwards. It’s interesting how I always happen to stumble upon the one that I feel fits, just right.
Reblogged this on Dancing with Darkness and commented:
Another poem she wrote I feel resonates so much!! I hope you all enjoy!! Just love opening my inbox to read something that puts me back into the present.
Thank you for the reblog Raechel and the kind words once again! ❤ I appreciate your support.
Have you read George Herbert. He combines lyrics and shapes to express his intense religious feelings. The structure of the lines of your poem seem to be a creative imagining of the female form.
No I haven’t. I will have to look into it. Sounds interesting.
Wow!
Hopefully that is a good Wow. 🙂
I love love love this! Strong words!
Thank you! I love what She Says 🙂
Haha
Loved it!
But trying to explore some darkness?…me thinks, Jennifer, that you may have to take my hand 😛
If anyone knows about ‘dark’ you do indeed Joe! I’m glad you enjoyed this poem.
Incredible, thunderous start, with tumultuous finish, though I fell through the middle a little, it got me thinking some too, like below..
Like fire upon the earth, between the soul’s furnace cast, unto in chaos breed a darkness, where before the moment trickles light, flame erupts no scarcity, within two hands a charred silhouette.
Strong. So strong and demanding. It’s beautiful.:)
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
An eruption of poetic power! Very nice! 🙂
Thank you Eva.
You’re welcome, Jennifer! 🙂
I have just 3 or 4 of your poems and outstanding work i love them. There are powerful yet simple and uncomplicated very nice.
Thank you Bryan. I’m happy to hear that you enjoy them.
