Brainstorm
BRAINSTORM
Quiet brain quite norm hit by groaning gust
bursting in cyclonic storm of betrayal and lies.
Me diffused confused shattered battered
in whirl pool of vortex of agony and anxiety.
Fractured brain felt fervor of forest fire
caused by frictional force of emotional injury.
My radiant refulgent brain waves turned seismic shock waves.
Brain seemed to slumber, senses sank in stupor to be swept away,
Consciousness smothered, failed to shun dismal.
I was devastated in destructive tornado thrashing brain in turmoil.
Dense deep bruises, severe scars salient prominent
showing permanent damage probably not to be cured.
Yet Time is the best healer on slow recovery.
Storm subsided stopped bringing sullen brain back in normal form.
Mental strength refreshed, brain became cool and calm.
Waiting for new passion and compassion.
