Gusty Winds

The storm that thundered is fading still
Reluctant to let go the reign of dark
But the nascent light behind the clouds
Unfolds the scene that's changing fast

On a happy note then she proceeds to allot
Augury of goodwill forgetting the past

And he sees things the way they used to be
Holding hands of love he finds her near him,
Not a blemish in view of his serene imagery--
Snuggling her closer, he reaches for a kiss

But gusty winds return razing his reverie
Blasting cold air on feelings of warmth
Taunting his dreams to accept the fact:
She's the one who unleashed the wrath

November 25, 2018
Placed first in standard contest #145 by Brian Strand

The stormy relationships like the wind raging and slackening, can also cool down, but can sweep in force at times. The man forgot her offence and was coming to terms with his lady love, but was repelled back at the thought that she only precipitated the crisis. Great analogy

Once again, as the wind holds such terror, there is always hope- when the sun appears. My heart rejoices in this fact. Congratulations Vijay, on this win. ~ Brandy

A very poignant poem. You paint the scenery so well, Vijay. Superb allegory in contrasting the storms of nature with the storms of love. Each of them untamable. Each of them beyond our control. I enjoyed this very much. As always, you’ve written wonderfully. Best to you. Deb

Yes, the ups and and downs of love. Sometimes- a little rain must fall, however- watch out for the stormy weather. It can be rough. Holding on during the wild wind can be difficult at times, but it can be done. In the end, the sky becomes clear and the sun appears. The one that creates the destruction- yes, it is made known. Every time. Your thoughts always move me. ~ Brandy
