Stormchild - Mechanical Poet

Lightnings!

The flaring claws

Tight strings

Of typhoon’s bows

Whiz, rave, howl

The insatiable storm!

Shrill, laugh, growl

Like demoniac swarm!

A tower steeple

Vibrates in the rain

Some dancing people

Reflect in a pane

The wine drips

In highwaymen’s lair

The chief keeps

The birth of his heir

Stormchild!

The daughter of thunder and hail

Entwined

Her crying with laughter of gale

Come to us and fly!

Break the glass and try!

Squall of a tearing gush

Winds in a violent rush

A moment of hush…

-!Boom!-

Ha-ha, what a deafening crash!

Bluster and fright

Tumble and bite

Piercing the shower

The bolt set a tower

Alight!

The sign of doom

(Acclaims her)

The deadly gloom

(Awaits her)

The brat of reckless man

Has answered mother’s croon

New leader of the clan

Appears before the moon
