    The Storm of Memories
    She stands on the shore and watches
    An eerie silence
    Overwhelming stillness all around

    The storm brews
    Increasing its intensity
    Bubbling over as inside of her
    The memories begin to spring forth

    The lighting slashes
    Across the soft sand
    Like the razorblade
    Across her tender wrists

    The crash of the waves
    Like the echo of her pleas
    To make the pain go away
    Pained and repeating
    Over and over

    Then the rain falls,
    Soft salty tears at first
    Then hard drops of rage
    Sobbing cries of desperation

    Wow-good strong emotion with those words. I like the way you express each thing like nature itself.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
