I sit alone and write my tale
of love gone wrong somehow
a storm is gathering along the horizon
and I can feel it inside me now.

The tears I shed are mostly dried
and the pain has lessened some
I stare out the window at darkening clouds
and beg for the storm to come.

Take away my anger and shame
wash away my tears of sorrow
give me something fresh in my life
give me hope for a new tomorrow.

Drawing a parallel between the storm and your inner feelings is very well thought out. Nicely done.

During the more difficult moments of my life it's always felt like a storm brewing just inside me...thanks for putting it into words so precisely...

Isn't it somehow strange that though we often fear the storm it is what brings the new beginnings.....your poem captured this reality wonderfully..."For when the sun breaks free, I can finally see..." (the line of one of my own on the same subject.)

To catch a fleeting thought and tie it to a storm to convey the power of feelings at that moment was inspirational. (The fact that thunder was actually rolling over my head as I read this work made the impact even more clear )

Feel the rumble hear the roar
of thunder at your minds door
I read the power in your pain
your words will forever reign

Hi! I really loved this poem. Short and to the point, and yet nothing is lacking in depth. My sister who is also a writer told me once "you shouldn't have to explain the poem, it should explain itself". I really could not only understand what you were saying, but could also feel what you were saying. Thankyou for sharing.

Stormy heart... what a great idea.  I wish I had thought of it.
It must be from Linda M.
