Amour de temps

I once met a hurricane

I didn't see her coming

But she swept me away,

Her harsh winds hurling me away.


I tried to stay put

Cling on to home

But home came with

And I was gone


I once met a tidal wave

She looked pleasant from far away

Then she flooded our town

And drowned our people


I put up barriers

Closed the doors and windows

She got through

And I went under


I once met a breeze

And she chilled me

Made me wrap up

She was too cool for me


She froze me to the core

Then knocked me off my feet

After a while, I got used to her


I once met a heatwave

She was hotter than hell

Instantly my mouth dried

And I felt queasy


I had brought water

And it, in theory, was enough

But she was hotter than anything anyone could have imagined.


I once met a volcano

People walked over her daily

Then she erupted,

Leaving no-one cold.


And we wore masks,

Still we choked

We ran as far as our legs could carry us

But she caught up.


I once met an earthquake

She shook me to the core

I watched as she took the ground from my feet


I stayed low,

Hid under tables and chairs

But still she managed to break my ground.


I once met a rainbow

She brightened my world

Kids stood in awe at the sight of her

And it was bliss


And she amazed me

Unfortunately I grew dependant on her

Left distraught when she disappeared


I once met a snowstorm

Her white heart enchanted me

And children played with her joyfully

She distracted me and gave me hypothermia


My lips blue as I kissed her

I embraced her, my fingertips blackening

And I loved her to sickness


Often have I fell for girls like the weather

These crushes came ad went like changing weather

And I love them all
