"Stormfront" (a beginner's sonnet)
#10
I think I've nailed it on this last edit. It really sounds just how I wanted it to.

-Stormfront-

From the distant crease where waves meet skies,
great shadowed, phantom mountains rise.
Grey, smoky roots stretch out their veins
in tendrilled clouds that bring the rains.

Pale summits are crowned with runaway light,
the last memory of a sun lost to sight
behind the thick veil of this oncoming storm:
thunderous beast of impermanent form.

Dark passions push on, rushing over the sea.
Electricity rages as water pours free.
Swift darkness surrounds, my last hopes disappear:
waves jump and cap white as they scatter in fear.

Engulfed in black swells, I'm lost on my own.
Will fate have me die on this ocean, alone?
