The storm fits my mood

As thunder rumbles above

Dark clouds wander by

Much like me, this dreary day

Looks are deceiving

Carry me away on the wings of a cloud

The silence surrounding, ever so loud

Speaking in colors of pastel unknowns

Pinks and blues, in harmonious tones

Bathing in luminous, scattered beams

Drowning me in my forever dreams

That breathe the colors to make me whole

As I float along with Heaven’s soul

Calming repose, inhaling tranquility

On the wings of a cloud, whispered serenity

She fell asleep, in a book, in a faraway land

To dream about love, the touch of his hand

She surrounded herself, in clouds and stars

Curled up in the pages, of Jupiter and Mars

But, words became blurry, no longer told tales

The nightmare began, her dreams, assailed

Lost in the binding, she fought to awaken

Unsteady hands quaked, as if being shaken

Try as she may, she remained in the dream

Until the harrowing sound of a horrid scream

Brought her back to reality, groggy, but she

Was still caught in the pages, and ever will be

Our lives

Constant battles

In states of confusion

Much ado about everything

For naught

I caught him looking down at me
Face in a frown, not happy to be
Up in the sky, I could clearly see
Something was coming, no mystery

Where once it was blue, now it was gray
What happened to my nice, sunny day?
Who sent dark clouds, over this way?
I wish the nice weather was here to stay

All of a sudden, the clouds started to tumble
Off in the distance, I heard something rumble
I’m pretty sure I heard someone else mumble
It’s cloudy, my dear, with a chance of grumbles

Sure enough, there he was, still looking down
Furrowed eyebrows, face remained in a frown
Started to think, he looked more like a clown
Realized, in his rain, I could possibly drown!

With a wave of my hand, I bid him goodbye
Slammed the door shut, and let out a sigh
I didn’t want him to find me, though he did try
It was then, I noticed, he had started to cry…
