Storming Through My Mind

Thoughts begin swirling, storming through my mind and uproots a memory I did not want to find and there you are, like yesterday As if time had not come out to play No chains are ever needed on this mortal coil Somehow you imprison me using my sweat and toil I am just your prisoner, yearning to be free Soon the storm subsides, but it leaves nostalgic winds That keep blowing through my memory With all the broken images that are haunting me within Weeks and months go by, time is never stalling I hope my thoughts release me from the din But as soon as I hear freedom calling.... another storm begins!

I would evade that relationship. Man was born free. Great poem.

I like the line, As if time had not come out to play, No chains are ever needed on this mortal coil, great use of words to create your poem. Memories do storm and really never forgotten, just set back on a shelf until picked out when the right moment comes again. Enjoyed reading, Joseph.

What a great title and imaginative poem. And the last two lines really hit hard, but are unfortunately relatable.

No one should ever be in that kind of relationship. So sad that many believe this is normal behavior. This is deep and emotional, all at the same time. Your thoughts tug at my heart. My best to you, Joseph. Hugs, Brandy

I agree with Hilda. I've been in relationships (not now)where I felt like I was imprisoned because of the chaos and irrational behavior of the other person...it erodes and is toxic. Profound words again!

Go for freedom. I liked the scope of this poem. I can imagine this relationship (,was it a dream?) When someone's bad attitude doesn't change, you can be sure the pain will repeat.
