Running into the sky,
you gave a cry;
at once
resplendent &
decadent &
sorry.
How could you stay?
One moment becomes forever.
Biting your tongue,
hiding your pain,
building a poor prison
as a means of escape.
Was it mere fate?
Coincidence?
A day too late?
What are white clouds
but strange, chance encounters
between
hot, cold,
other factors.
Water droplets so large,
they scatter all colours
conferred
from continuous, glittering sunlight
through thin layers
of beauty stretched
across a luminous blue sky.
I know you tried,
I know your love was like
an iridescent intoxication,
an effulgent searchlight
that found out where I was trying to hide.
I see you in the sky.
I’ll deliver you offerings;
sweat, tears,
patterns tracing,
forming
clouds of my mind
in you.
You can’t touch me,
but I’ll be there

Sad but beautiful at the same time ... I especially like these words

Yes that's me trying to figure out the science of clouds haha and still not understanding but appreciating them for their beauty anyway x
I think white clouds are beautiful . I thought maybe it was about some of your feelings ... maybe I was wrong . But it’s a great poem anyway 🙂
Yes, or about relationships. How all those little things have to occur to create a beautiful, extraordinary, bewildering thing that's maybe too big for us to understand at first, but to behold it fills us with awe.
It's also about how my love is so ethereal and I think one day he will just disappear back into the sky or wherever it is he comes from/goes to when he's not with me haha
your words, reach out
through that all connecting Matter, to a realm devoid of before or after
to a place where only two hearts, once shared - as one
and it asks, is there still a thread
for me to pull - at
for me to invoke life-in, once again...
(a longing for another chance, not necessarily to relive the past, but just a chance
at experiencing that connection, one more time..
beautifully woven, thanks for sharing dear Poet)
Yes I think it's about understanding for the first time what that connection really means & how it will never be truly gone. One day I'll realise that's what love is to me x
