John Gondolf Poet Rhyme

Storm Clouds Ahead

Yesterday morning the sun rose on cue;
lighting the heavens in purple and pink.
Everything rosy with nothing askew;
life was worth living with nature in sync.

Sun rise today finds the world much more grey;
storm clouds above put a mist on my mood.
You have now met a new man as you say;
he is your future, is what you conclude.

Left here behind with my head in my hand;
wondering why you just did what you did.
Guessing I’m not the white knight as you planned;
giving you comforting…heaven forbid.

Gave you my heart and you took it with ease;
ripped it to shreds and you caused me great pain;
went on your way to do as you please.
Life will go on yet the storm clouds remain.

Andrea Dietrich July 20, 2018 at 8:04 PM I see from below that it's fiction. WHoow! that's good for you! It was very real, so I think you did a great job showing that emotion.

Brandy Nicole July 18, 2018 at 9:22 PM There will be gray skies, clouds of gloom lingering about, sometimes around moments that caress love. It wish it wasn't so. Not everyday is like this though. Your thoughts hold so many emotions. ~ Brandy John Gondolf July 18, 2018 at 10:14 PM Thank you for your thoughts, Brandy, I appreciate your support. John

Silent One July 18, 2018 at 12:56 PM Hi John, I think there is an error on the 15th line, should it be your? Love hurts sometimes and your poem depicts that.. John Gondolf July 18, 2018 at 1:02 PM Thanks for the heads up, SO, I appreciate it.
