Her Storm Equates

The sun casts no shadow like her heartache
The past moons help, but cannot quite equate
She overshadows all the hope allowed
Now there is nothing more than this dark cloud

Rain comes on through, like her temptations spread
She brings a pain, causing me to be dead
Like the thunderclaps, words cause a rumble
Making me crawl, and to fall and crumble

Why must the lightning cause spikes in the air
She elicits the same, causing despair 
The wind blows through, she notes the huge bashes
As the waves cross higher, on rocks - crashes

The moments the storm comes into my view
She causes emotions to foil what’s due

Russell Sivey

Russell, a stirring sonnet of turbulent emotions of love and commotion depicted with strong and stormy imagery. Great rhymes! An excellent write that I enjoyed this evening.
