I piteously cower at the corner Of this decrepit, flooded room-- This one that used to witness Our spontaneous lovemaking; Drenched and cold, I am, Whilst the "Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh" Of callous, insidious Mangkhut Obliterates the remaining peace Of my tattered, enervated heart; I recall how you could Instantly silence my demons, As you flirted with my nerves; I remember your tender caresses That effortlessly lured me towards The heights of oblivious rapture; Yet, the abrasive screams Of the execrable hurricane Cause the same fears to resurface-- And the soothing touch of your hand Has long abandoned my skin. If only you opted to glance back Before you utterly deserted my life; Then, honey, you'd have gleaned The need that still seeps through My hateful, acerbic cries. "Mangkhut" The Philippines has been deluged yesterday with the typhoon, "Mangkhut," locally known as "Ompong". We were at Signal Number 3 (100kph-180kph wind). Thankfully, it has now left the country. Though, it has strengthened the monsoon, again. #Mangkhut #diwa #yqbaba
