Poem For You

On cloud I could write verse for you, storm surge drifted out of my sight, placed me under spell of deep blue, sorrow dragged me into dire plight. Sadness traced the tear drops in flight, the words dissolved, took the shape true. As dense mist descended from height, on cloud I could write verse for you. Rain drops made lyric on leaves new, fluid rhythm I didn’t perceive quite. Gleam of future was out of view, storm surge drifted out of my sight. Across sad sky in starless night, I was wafting astray I knew. My heart broke with the brunt of blight, placed me under spell of deep blue. You hardly knew what I went through, when you’re gone from my days so bright. To find life’s pulse I had no clue, sorrow dragged me into dire plight. I was in debris of delight, but arose as with cloud time flew. Lost longing my mind could excite, in my split heart this poem grew, on cloud I could write. _______________ March 19, 2023 Syllable count checked at HMS Rhyme as per Rhymezone.com Contest : Double The Fun Sponsored by : Joseph May
