The Perfect Storm
The perfect girl, just right for me
Became my perfect wife
Together we created
For us. The perfect life
When we were together
We were the perfect storm
If anyone got in our way
We told them. They were warned
We rode the storm together
Embraced it, it was ours
The Thunder and the Lightning
The source of all our powers
Our storms were swift and brutal
A flash, a bang, then gone
The air much sweeter afterwards
Our love, forever strong
The storms were always with us
They formed around our love
Hand in hand, always together
Often wearing boxing gloves
The pressure sometimes built so high
It caused our love such grief
That when the storm released its rage
It was always pure relief
Sometimes I could have killed her
She made my life such hell
Only she could do this to me
My life, my shotgun shell
I know I drove her crazy too
The only one who could
My waters deep and murky
Were charted by her love
This synergy of forces
Such energy, such light
Much greater when together
The perfect storm, just right
We knew we loved each other
The sparks they made us shine
Our passion made us stronger
Such fire, so little time
The sea is far too quiet now
My storm has blown away
Becalmed within still waters
This vessel’s lost its way
Without my storm to drive me on
It’s just another day.
The Perfect Storm, is that of a synergy of forces
leading to a release of energy much greater than
any of its individual contributors could ever generate.
In simple terms: – we were just better together.
