Summerized in four words:
Sweltering, sweating, swept away.
Sun rays penetrating skin:
Red skin, shed skin, and was as if reborn
After days of itching, o sun-etched scabies!
My amphibian soul showed itself,
Curled up, and shoved itself back into the shadows.
☼ ☼ ☼
Moon rays diffused in grey waters.
For after midnight things turn grey,
Striped with white-red car lights,
Hazy starlight lost in the city's night life.
Self-imposed insomnia.
☾ ☾ ☾
We wanted a thunderstorm to roam these lands,
This vastness of meadows and mountains and
Melting glaciers.
Boom! Blindsided by it 22 hundred meters
Above sea level.
Thunderstorm, seasoned with hail.
The skies rumbled:
You're welcome!

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

I love a good storm Andrei, it is oddly cathartic. Except for the damage the sometimes is invariably caused. Yet we probably don’t get ones to the same extend you do! Glad to read another poem of yours. Hope you will be writing another piece again soon! Take care.
What a stunning poem! So many amazing lines. I really loved the sense of power you created here. Loved this!
The imagery in this is breath taking!! Loved this Andrei!!
