LightningHe was crying lightning
An impulse from the brain
Unable to ignite his bones
Only serving to drain

A sense of melancholy
For a poor boy so young
Each breath had become a curse
Not a gift from his lung

She was crying lightning
There was calm before the storm
In the eye of the hurricane
Her boy was never warned

A sense of compunction
As once again she rolled the dice
Not once doubting the idiom
Lightning never strikes twice

They were crying lightning
Protons and electrons collide
As she whispered her secrets
Into his ear she confides

A sense of duality
They caress each others spark
Yet they're no longer static

The American Obesity Problem

I have no face. There was a time when I may have owned one, but this is a fuzzy half-memory. In fact, it may be entirely an invention of fantasy. These days, regardless of my history, I know for a fact that I have no face. However, I have been granted a name: The American Obesity Problem. And I am growing in the United States. You may have seen me on television. You may have been witness to my disconcerting back cleavage and mystified by the seamless transition my legs make from my calves into my ankles. You probably saw my unsettlingly large, shelf-like behind as it strained against my tight Capri pants that I swore I would fiThe American Obesity Problem2 years ago in Editorial

Violet lightning pulsed

Our first date is traditional,
which is odd because I'll soon
find that neither of us are that

Lightning StrikeThen she started laughing
as if she could see the lightning strike.
It fell down from some high point and
crashed through her body,
illuminating all the dark places in her eyes.

Stumbling to her feet,
she gained her balance
like it was the first time,
like there was no way she could fall.
She laughed and laughed, and wiped her face clean.
With tears on her fingers,
she raised both hands into the winter sky.

People are good! she screamed,
and her face flushed red.
Her words, normally,
hung like dead things in the air
And now they rushed around her
Through her fingers, on wings
Like water, like prayer

Some have solid bodies of steel or linoleum, others walk around in gleaming skin of twenty-four karat gold, heck, A few unlucky souls are crafted entirely from edible materials. Though, the vast majority of human beings are made of fabric – weak, brown, stuffed with cotton or chicken feathers, and easily punctured by something minor as scissors or a broken nail. To fabric people, these little rips and tears are inevitable, and require repairs with a needle and some store bought patches.

Lightning Won't MatterLightning won't matter
To the man who'll doubt
The idea of true love at first sight:

Because lightning won't matter
To the man who'll not part
In haste, the entirety of his heart.

Because lightning won't matter
To the man who'll listen
For the lady who speaks when her soul glistens.

Because lightning won't matter
To the man who'll caress
A body he knows will never perish.

Because lightning won't matter
To the man who'll ingest
Her serene and pure, mind-soothing breath.

The view of a lady
Cannot change his mind,
Because lightning won't matter
To the man who is blind.Lightning Won't Matter3 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms

Thunder and Lightning Chp. 1Chapter 1

"Dash? Dash!" Twilight called out, standing on the path below Dash's cloud home. She stamped her hooves in frustration as the silence dragged on. She had been at this for several minutes, and the situation called for a bit more urgency than her friend was showing. Or not showing, as the case may be. So far she hadn't shown up at all.

"Dash, am I going to have to get Fluttershy to go up there?" Twilight asked of the clouds. She finally heard from above, a low groan making its way down to her.

"Alright already." Rainbow Dash complained, rolling onto her front and over to the edge of her cloud home, where she could look down on TwilThunder and Lightning Chp. 12 years ago in Introductions & Chapters

A wonder crashing down in the night

Beauty in nature so sweet

Sweeps me off my feet

Elegant light flashes before my eyes

I dance around as the sky crys

Thunder rages its sound

Its mystery is unknown to me...

Lightning StrikesLightning Strikes:

Every bolt is hot
Every strike is bright
Nature at it's finest
Putting on a show at best
Though it can be intimidating
Just like love itself
But know with every strike
My heart beats faster for you
As the clouds roll wind in from the west
My hand grips yours tighter then the rest
The night turns to day
For that half of second
Making your eyes glow like the finest crystals
From that point on
I know it may be hard
But love is so surreal
For I know it is true
Right here with you

The Clash of Swift and Lightning

Swift is out on a walk in the Bridas Forest. Her favorite past time is learning how to chirp and whistle like every single bird in the world. She took a liking to the birds since listening to them were music to her ears. She sat down on the ground near the log to relax. Her long meditation lasted until a blue haired girl weilded with a rapier appeared out of nowhere.

"Wake up, little Vilunim!" The blue headed girl said. "What are you doing out here? Talking to bugs?" she laughed.

"For your information," Swift said feeling irritated. "I never talk to bugs. I just relax to enjoy the wildlife."

In the low lighting, Vinyl Scratch's purple goggles looked black, lifeless. No emotion showed on her face.

"Vinyl..." Twilight began. Dash had curled up again.

"Would you girls excuse us?" Scratch asked, measuring her words carefully.

"Um, no thanks, we-" Pinkie Pie began, trying to smile, but stopped as Twilight nudged her. She looked back, and seeing Twilight's worried look she dropped the smile. Twilight on her tail, they walked around the bed and out the room, brushing by Vinyl. Scratch entered and shut the door behind her with telekinesis. Rainbow Dash shivered, though the room was quite warm.

The Legendary Thunder WolfThe Legendary Thunder Wolf:

In the darkest of times his tale is told.
The Thunder Wolf of legends old...
He came from the mountains on a stormy night
To save the Lycans from a dire plight...

Our race was young and growing still
Born into the world by Luna's will.
She gave us hearts of the purest light
And told us that the world was bright.

But Luna was a child, small and naive;
She saw the good in which she believed.
Sadly for us, we lived the truth;
As we were hunted for fang and tooth.

Knowing nothing of weapons or war
We were slaved and broken to our very core.
It was then that he came, hammer in hand

Your life is a boat

Wandering the desolate seas.

Sunshine

Stillness

But then nothing.

Until the heavens open.

Lightning strikes

Thunder cracks.

The seas waves grow and grow

Hitting your mast,

What guides you

pulling you on your right path.

From beneath

In the dark deep waters

Lurks a demon.

A demon so big

It will swallow you whole.

Sink you

until your last dying breath.

The Kraken

Your worst enemy.

It will wrap its deadly tentacles around you.

Squeeze away your pleading scream.

The Kraken?

It's your life's worst enemy.

PrussiaxReader - Thunder, Rain, and LightningThe darkness of the forest loomed over the Prussian male's head. The moonlight peeked through the trees that seemed miles above him. He was young (quite literally), but a strong nation. He was currently searching for Lithuania, who was being the sneaky little bugger he was and hiding from him. Of course he could find that little country! Suddenly, a quite voice began to sing. Prussia stopped, looking around in surprise.
"I don't know where to go. I cannot find my way. The world turns slow, there is no end to my day. My vision is black, I am running blind. There is no turning back on the path I can't find"
Prussia made a soft noise in his confusion. It definitely was not Lithuania. It was a girl with a beautiful voice. The words kept repeating and he followed, hoping to find the source of the voice. After what felt like hours, he came upon a small clearing. In the middle was a small girl, (hair color) strands fluttered in the breeze.

and it rained lightning.hello grandson;

the night hell froze over
i was sitting on the hilltop
hurling lightning across the sky.

it was raining hellfire comets.
they sizzled and rent holes in my skin,
ate through my hands with a pleased serpent hiss.

(i felt nothing)

and i was afraid.
my past glories were damned
to a foreign god's pit, and the blood

of his martyrs
tainted, ruined, despoiled
the sacrifices they once made to me.

there is no place
for old gods, Hades told me
the day before Lucifer ate him.

Thunder and LightningThe sun had completely gone down the horizon of a big city and now night time had arrived in the big city. Several hours later close to mid-night some of the people of this big city were still walking around late at night and yet some of the people had already gone home for the night as well. Several hours earlier when night came the street lamps turned on automatically so it would make things a lot easier for some of the people to see.

Late at night there was a particular person walking on the side walk of the city walking past some big buildings. However this person wasn’t really a person in fact this person is really a yellow hedgehoThunder and Lightning4 years ago in Fantasy
