THUNDER


He calls me thunder.
That my roar sends panic to the mighty
When I strike, there is quake among the living
That my lighting causes tremble among the gods
That people shiver at the thought of my name.

He called me thunder
But I never struck twice
My flash never burnt the ones I love
It rather warms them like an ember
Soothing in the early morning harmattan.

He sails my storm easily
Yet he fears my wrath obviously
It could be the echo of my blast
That cause giants tumbling and stuttering
Signaling to him, he’s mere mortal where I growl
Maybe, it’s the fiery fire that sets their feet ablaze.

He insists my voice consumes the weak
Swallows the rustling of the impotent
My words don’t spit threat
It dares the monsters
It doesn’t appease tyrant, it torments their desperation
Bashing their might with brash bolt and brawn
Causing their heart to leap in fear
Making their strength fade in fright

But in my brashness
He says my roar is like a music to his ears
My rumble, peaceful lullaby to his heart
Yet, like a tornado I crushed his will to want another one
My lighting his delight has become
My riotous pace his pleasure
My turbulent noise his Eldorado
He calls me thunder and I howl in love
