I Am The Twin Flame Of Hurricanes

As I live on the sidelines

I will never be known as a pet dog’s bark

Or for that matter a sleepy cat’s meow,

I’m more like virgin wilderness personified

As my friends gather at my wolf’s howl.

***

I’ve no fables of dragons and swords

Disappointed with no fairies and queens,

Nor sweet little elves or even dwarfs

No fantasy warriors or anything in between.

***

I buck at society’s rules and regulations

I have my own moral compass as I set sail,

Breezing through my days, I steer my course

While headstrong winds whip up a gale.

***

What does society’s norm really mean

Surfing the monster waves on autopilot,

Following the flock of farmer’s sheep

Accepting when told, yellow is now violet?

***

I am happy on the sidelines as an outcast

Aware I am both a freak and a twin flame,

I brave Mother Nature’s destructive voice

Realising I‘m the twin flame of hurricanes.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
