Unforecasted Storm, a poem by Adam White, poet. Posted for One Shot Wednesday on http://www.onestoppoetry.com

I saw you fall from an emptier sky,
All sixes and a perfect, untouched ten.
I fell in love with the thought of you then.
Blind, white fury; my unforecasted storm,
Oncoming to spite that grinning sunshine,
Blazing much brighter; your image sublime
And I taste your headache inducing tang,
Building, fit to burst luminescent joy
Over all the falls I had as a boy.
You come to me a cloudy mass unknown,
Expelling every passion all as one,
Until you're wasted, blown and all but gone.

  4. The wailing of the storm can come on strong and leave the same, one just has to weather it out. Nicely done!
