Beautiful Scars Poet Free verse

A Lonely Cloud Forsaken

i wandered LONELY as a cloud,
wearing rain like a fedora-
no sunkiss can be a soft kiss...
when stuck in a storm like this

f o r s a k e n  in the sky-
mighty eagles in flight soar,
they know i will cease to exist at any moment;
for i shall become a shape of another-
once baby blue,
now grazed inside the grey of day;
swirls of loss encompass,
and all who see me shall see me no more

sacrificing all the sunlight
that shined in my eyes-
being more than i am
shall never be embraced

perpendicular passion for life-
though ephemeral in holy hosts,
the heavens shan’t message ghosts

for time dances around my emollient stature,
never knowing the fear that may follow-
there is no wanting in giving,
no preparing for living

i seek the rainbow that follows the reign of pain-
always feared this day would arrive,
the day i become…
a LONELY cloud wandering
