would you care to comment on this poem?

IN THE DARK

by C.S. Scotkin

Fickle winds

blew doubts, then

cycloned fears.

Your daily coolness

clashed with

night time’s heat.

Cumulus emotions

rose, but then

exploded.

Thunderous words

and cracked hail’s

beating curse.

That storm

is over now,

still there’s numbing shock

clearing all this

heart debris,

walking in the dark.

Update:

Do not think about killing yourself, I need all the readers I can get!

Update 2:

Charlotte, re-read that line again...thanks

    I think it's an onion, with no layers.

    This onion doesn't need layers.

    It's very good.

    For me this has as many layers as an onion. It could be a description of a tempestuous love affair, but I see it as a description of the trauma you have lived through over the last year.

    The thing I love about this poem is how you use words and phrases in a totally unique way -

    eg fickle winds, cycloned fears, cumulus emotions and cracked hail and how you sustain the metaphor throughout.

    I don't understand "cumulus motions", clouds? But that may just be a product of me not understanding much, i'll most likely wake up in a few months and get what it actually meant.

    This is great and I especially love the line "heart debris".

    numbing shock

    clearing all this

    heart debris,

    walking in the dark.

    hmmm seems there's more than eye can see the real meaning can be a bit complicated to understand

    I like the verbal fireworks but then I got lost in the after-smoke.
