A Thunderstorm Is Beautiful
The art was most beautiful on the dark canvas:
a background that set up a stage for unfolding
explosions of light struck beneath growls of thunder
as swift swords of steel slash full clouds once holding-
the deluge, escaping as a glistening wonder.
The art was most beautiful on the dark canvas,
as Moon hid behind the large battle, ongoing.
Her sky...

Squall's Godspeed
Clouds heartshaped breaking
The downpours between us separating
Wrong to say I am in love
Wrong to seep in with this water
that's kissing and falling.
God, you drip so much into me.
The petrichor ~ on me ~ you fear
The petrichor ~ on you ~ you fear
The sky's cracks will slowly heal to blue
I will remember tight each tear for...

LIGHTHOUSE IN THE STORMLIGHTHOUSE IN THE STORM*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
amidst the tempest,
a beacon stands unyielding,
guiding lost sailors
waves crash and thunder,
yet light pierces through the night,
hope against the dark
rocks loom, shadows dance,
with each flash, courage rekindles,
safe harbor awaits
*Note: Poem originally published at Poetry Soup in June 2025 then later at creativeramblings.com/writing-prompts/weekly-prompt-13/. This is my original poem.

SUMMER STORMAs the warmer temperatures rise
Suddenly storms comprise
Sun faded
Winds blew mightier
Cluster of Clouds gathered
Darkened skies got darker
Lightning bolts after lightning bolts were streaking here and there
Rain poured unmeasurable
Thunder spoke
Humility came to a brief end in cool
Refreshing soak
Storm passed
Brief and swift
Damp ground
Quickly dried
Summer storm
Many more to follow
Summer fun
Never outdone

The Umbrella StoryHe’s someone she once knew. He’s the reason she loves the rain and why she finds herself always waiting for the next storm. The bigger the storm, the more she remembers, sitting on the back porch at Angel Ave, wrapped in his arms. He always made her feel safe during the loud cracks of thunder.

Trauma-Induced Dissociation
So, "let it ***ing rain."
"The death of us."
Drowned in fire and ice.

But, you, Crystal, shattered my heart, mind, and soul....

Each inch of my nicheThe whirlwind rolled in rings at the eyewall,
Wild gale blew through the open tropical field.
I'd forgotten to close the windows tight,
And the ensuing rain inundated each inch of my niche.
The hurricane hurriedly stripped the veld of its peace.
Dry air pacified the expanse of the grassland,
The massive flood drained into a sunken cesspool,
My thoughts swayed to...

Storm In My MindRain falls on windows;
Beautiful notes on the panes.
Faint sounds of thunder;
Memories flooding my mind-
Consciousness waters' raging.
Crack! Lightning flashes;
Illuminating shadows-
Darkness is preferred.

Standing in the Rainpain is like a storm
rivers of tears overflow
with cold chill and flood
sharp arrows from the dark clouds
pierce into my hope for joy
strong wind whips my heart
hurting my spirit and soul
but not my firm faith...

I Walk On
A ghost still lingering in my head, a shadow of what once was
Echoes of your voice, did I hear amongst them a mournful sob
I walk on, I walk on, I walk on
There is no point in looking back; I can’t change what can’t be
My heart is broken, but at least this broken heart remains free
I...

perfect storm
from the forest deep she came
like one jaguar gently prowling
drawn there by my late-day flame
typhoon in the distance howling
black hair with a coal-blue sheen
eyes like ink that shimmered golden

PetrichorSomething was changing one day—
I felt it when a cool breeze blew.
Restless branches danced and swayed
while the world around me grew silent.
With the first touches of rain
I smelled ozone in the air
and in a moment of glory raised my arms.
I embraced the moment as mine alone
but looked for the word to describe how I felt
like...
