Mindstorm Poem by Maureen Travers

The wind raging in my mind
Carries words and feelings and thoughts
They burst through my bones and skin
Released in a tangle of knots.

The rain pouring out of my eyes
Brings rivers of misery and pain
Flash floods of anguish and woe
Threaten to drive me insane.

The heat scalding my insides
Is the powerful fury of fear
Boiling and churning my blood
Lava flows savage and sear.

The cold diffused from your heart
Freezes the love in my soul
Your merciless glacial shards
Are an iceberg beyond control.

The climates I have to surmount
No forecast could ever predict
I must cope with rejection alone
And survive the storm you inflict.
