I Remember Fierce Storm That Blew My Life Apart

I Remember Fierce Storm That Blew My Life Apart I remember fierce storm that blew my life away. Images burned into a sad, finely tortured mind; reminds me of that epic and dark fateful day, tears falling down but no good answers could I find. So in love with my sweetheart but soon hope gave way, when drug induced Nirvana flew into our home. Easy now to see it in slow motion replay, when I groped in darkness wherever I dared roam. Raging clouds gathered within the uncertain West as thunder spilled over into each haunting hour. No joy in simply knowing that I did my best, while I saw the destruction of my wild flower! I remember fierce storm that blew my life apart. Its massive crushing winds destroyed my aching heart. Robert J. Lindley, 1-11-2016 Form- Sonnet, I used 12 syllables instead of ten.

Hi Robert, another excellent Sonnet from your pen. It shows that not only the good and happy things in life make us what we are. A pleasure to peruse. A seven for the depth of the write, a fave for, as i said, i am on a learning curve....Vladislav.

Wonderful metaphoric sonnet, Robert. From the date I see this is a new one, and lovely it is.

Thanks Lin, as I told my friend Peter, we can embrace our past , study our mistakes and improve our lives by doing that. I have no clue how much I've forgotten until a brother or sister speaks about things we all did and I see that now my memory has erased that--even when it was very important, things involving our father, etc..
