Fulmination Frustration

You struck into my life like a fulgurant bolt

A flash of euphoria, unsure if the hairs on my neck stood up from static or exhilaration

A discharge of prodigious proclivity

Months dragged out like a flickering trick candle

Until, like a crack of thunder, all was quite

The exhilaration of you had passed in the eye of the storm.

I considered myself lucky to have met you

The odds of getting zapped in your lifetime are 1 in 12,000

Meaning our meeting was a rare achievement.

But 9 out of 10 survive the levin

So I have no doubt

That I will survive you too
