Storm's of Memory

i felt the tempest coming
onslaught umbrage
from darkest skies

its thunder rumbled
in endless echoes
across the grains
of mountain's rock

i saw it flash
its arrant light
piercing through
the tips of trees
emanating 
crimson trails
upon the ground

i stood
in its pools
of blood
as if assailed
in its draft

its winded breath
piercing through my heart
like wounded love

i saw you there
momentarily
blinking in
and out
of the shadows
of memories

ha, i did catch the word play and adore you comment, it was a bright spot on this gloomy day for sure... the rain made for a longer day for me ...and nothing to look at but gray skies, puddles, and fogged windows... Thank you John, love your comment :) hugs

Seems that dreary day is still hovering over your part of the world. Sad my friend but once again, beautifully expressed and amazing imagery. Your words reach out and touch the reader, we can feel these emotions.

Thank you my friend. Still a dreary day but I had some sunshine in it. Second day this week the person in front of me bought my coffee at my favorite Coffee spot. Always cool when others are kind :) hugs

YOU are the QUEEN of free verse imagery. I love the thrill I feel each time I'm impressed while reading you - no pressure there, huh? You keep raising your impact level to new highs that delight me. You are now on top of me on the 100 Contest Winners list, we two BD girls. I got my new # today, you? (I forgot) LOVE this poem. (oh, I watched my Dad make his transition so I know and hold the feel that never leaves) You're awesome, Sandra. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Aww thank you my friend. That’s only because you don’t write as often as me. You rock :) hugs
