Treasured

We shared the rain for a while
But then the sky when blue
Led by your warm, radiant smile
The clouds hid from view
Days shared are golden
Treasured, precious and few
Love makes me bold in
All I say and do

Peace

The sky has gone gray-green and soft
As we lay in each other's arms
The clouds are no longer threatening
Just gently covering the sun like a blanket
From the shelter of you, I see the rain
It does not frighten or discomfort
All the world is peaceful from here
Let's let everything else just disappear

Broken

Caught out again like a bug on a web

You reel me in to your trap

Not even noticing what you have done

Breaking my heart with a sudden snap

Dangling there on a string

Waiting for the axe to fall

The world suddenly seems so small

It only exists for you and me

But you are made of clouds and dreams

If I touch you, you would cease to be

Giving way to my plans and schemes

So look I can but never touch

A delicate balance is struck

Until another comes into your life

Even in dreams I have no luck

Grey Skies

Grey Skies

The dark clouds are heavy in the sky

They brim with the tears of heaven

It falls with desperate longing

I look out my window

The drops fall faster

A heavy heart

When it stops

Skies clear

Calm

I’d forgotten about these weird little forms of poems.  This is a Nonet.  It starts with nine syllable then each line has a decrease if one syllable until the last line which has one.  Interesting.  But I needed a form tonight. Lacking inspiration.
