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

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

Very nice combination of images and emotions. Good techniques with using the weather. You show some promise; keep it up

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