Hurricane Glass

A steamroller

          with a heart of glass

          stormed in as a hurricane

                destroying 

                        everything in your path

            crunching grey matter

     cutting like shards of rock crystal

          no time to run for cover 

        shot through, no chance for redemption

                   the tsunami of your desecration

             was no match for a mere human soul

                    there's

                                hardly comfort

                                  in the winds of truth

This is really good, it really packs a punch and the imagery you create is vivid.

" stormed in as a hurricane
destroying
everything in your path"

It's sad how a storm can ruin so many people lives and take so many people away from us. This was a great write, I love how you write. You always write on a topic that is real and happening nowadays.

Great job. And, it makes sense! Ha.

I've known a few hurricanes in my life. Much like the actual weather phenomena they damage everything in their path. The truth of that is hard to face and the hurricane never cares what it leaves in its wake. It consumes and is gone...

Your words always strike me because they are the feelings I'm sometimes unable to express. x

[Frieda P]

I bet you have Red, and there's more in the wind I'm pretty sure of it! Thanks so much my sweet friend for you lovely review x

The truth can really be like a hurricane turning your world upside down but in the end no matter the consequence we just have to confront it, get blown away then pick up the pieces and walk an inch per piece as we rebuild our little worlds...great amazing write!

[Frieda P]

Exactly, if we're lucky that is, thanks so much sid.

The truth dont care what we think we know, or wish to believe. It will reveal secrets and break up lives. Toubwords echo forever here.

[Shaun Payton]

*your words echo forever here*

[Frieda P]

Yes it certainly does Shaun, thanks for this insightful review my friend.

[Shaun Payton]

You're welcomey.

Often the truth does hurt, it cuts deep, but always it is something that needs to be discovered, no matter how it makes us feel. I can tell you this truthfully, I loved your poem. Reading you is something I look forward to every day.

Picture this, you are driving down the road, bored out of your mind, you keep flipping stations on the radio just hoping and then it comes on, your favorite song. instantly your mood changes, a smile finds your face and you are singing at the top of your lungs and dancing with the steering wheel and don't care at all who might see you. That is how I feel when I find you have written a new poem, it is like finding that favorite something that brightens your day and tells you...it is not such a bad day afterall.

Your poetry, regardless of the topic moves me. You have such a way with words that makes my eyes dance across the screen. Then, like that favorite song, when the end comes I only want more. You, my friend, amaze me. You truly are a gifted poet and I am proud to read you and call you my friend.

[Frieda P]

Wow, and wow Jack, you've made my weekend my dear friend!

Praying for truth to destroy what we think we know.:) Splendid read and write

[Frieda P]

Thanks Brandon, glad you enjoyed this one.

How the truth can cut like glass and destroy everything we thought we knew....brillant write

[Frieda P]

Exactly carol, thanks so much....

[icelandicblue]

The winds of truth can be powerful indeed; yet there are those who will still not listen even when the path of destruction lies wide at their feet. This is an excellent poem Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Much appreciate your thoughts here, thanks blue.
