Sandra Adams Poet Free verse

I Curse You Again

sipping on thoughts like that first cup of coffee
i watch the morning sun as it blushes
beneath the swirls of gray

another storm is coming
i see the reflection
through her eyes
that darkness, as it lingers
before the rain falls

i hear the thunder rumble within her voice
feel the fear of the unknown
as she speaks through winded words

i sit swirling my thoughts
like little leaves in a breeze
then fall silent within her storm's grasp

i feel that familiar rain
stain my cheek within its trail
one drop lingers at the edge of my lips
as memories invade my mind
i taste her pain then curse cancer again

John Hamilton June 24, 2019 at 10:56 AM Congrats on another gem of a write, deserving winner in Craig's cancer contest a subject where few win! Sandra Adams June 24, 2019 at 4:37 PM Thank you John, it is a battle no one wants to fight, I knew that topic would spark something in me....sometimes my muse needs that inspirational pull....she can be stubborn!

Craig Cornish June 23, 2019 at 7:41 PM Thank you Sandy, those who know you have been missing your poetic perceptions and those who don't can see what they have missed. Sandra Adams June 23, 2019 at 8:45 PM Wow, thank you so much Craig, mainly thanks for hosting this contest, one that was perfect timing to bring my muse out of hiding...it is a time in my life where i have relived my mother's death because a dear poetic friend of mine that is like family is fighting the very hard battle against cancer...i needed to write my pain so thank you, and a big thank you for your kind words :)

John Hamilton June 12, 2019 at 6:30 PM The personification of cancer like a storm is brilliant, it really caught me off guard, I guess that was the intent and it succeeded. Just Wow!! Sandra Adams June 12, 2019 at 7:49 PM thank you....nature has always been inspirational and metaphor of choice in many of my writings~

CayCay Godwin June 11, 2019 at 11:40 PM Wow! You packed a punch with this intoxicating write, and I didn't see it coming. I enjoyed this big time! All the best ... CayCay Sandra Adams June 12, 2019 at 11:34 AM Thank you for your kind reply! Tough subject to write on but not near as tough as the fight many face

Richard Lamoureux June 11, 2019 at 5:10 PM A disturbing thought. I hope this is a fictional account. The poem is well and artistically expressed. Hugs Rick. Sandra Adams June 11, 2019 at 6:58 PM Not fictional sadly. A poetic friend of mine that’s very close to me is battling lung cancer. I lost my mother to cancer so it brought back some emotions
