Best Cloud Nine Poems

The earth is sleeping under the blanket of fog,
daylight gently awakens her from her stupor,
misty mountains melt in the magical morning,
as each step surprises us to what lays ahead,

The clouds float by, spreading their chillness in the air,
wispy breeze blows past sprinkling wintry cheer around,
atmospheric...

My Cloud Nine by Didee  ©

Eh, get off of my cloud you silly narrow minded fools
I never put out a ‘for rent sign’ and I make up the rules
My fluffy pure white cloud may leak if it becomes...

Hot jasmine tea
My grandmother liked to drink
Everyday at 10
While tending to ancient herbs and oriental spices
Before Day’s of our Lives
She never understood it but she liked it anyway
And after her afternoon nap
She always had an aroma like that unforgettable liquid
In the green bottle by her...

One of our friends, becoming successful, was successful again.
He exclaimed to the World: “I am on CLOUD NINE, my friends!” 
In fact: He said it again and again, as we helped celebrate, his win!
It was GREAT! Tho actually, hard work had changed, what had been.

But...

Where ever you are darling 
love will always be smiling 
sweetly living inside warm 
Each heartbeat a mirror bell 
ringing deep reflections draw 
sparkling gold on your beauty 
diamond gem treasuring 

Walking the seven steps together 
the way of truth and love our friendship 
Destiny...

All P-Soupers are good friends of mine
A day without them is a day without sunshine
Maybe overstating it a bit
But our friendship won't quit
Until forever our hearts will be intertwined

When you touched me, sparks ignited love 
holding hands, everything shone perfect 
through your hair, golden shining halo 
Appearing most beautiful angel 
that ever held this vision, in front 
of these eyes, melting snowflakes 
Through windows, one gem whom shines 
with a shimmering sweet hum...

Lazily spent afternoons on the pea green sofa
Watching TV novella’s with Nana
Eating searing salsa with tamales
And homemade tortillas with mantiquilla 
Dripping from the cylinder of cloud nine
Belly protruding from a too small shirt
The smell of Fantastica  on a newly mopped floor

Tata sitting in the...

My good poet friends are pals of mine
A day without them is a day without sunshine
May be overstating it a bit
But our friendship won't quit
Until forever our hearts are entwined...

CRUISING ON CLOUD NINE

hills like green seas
skies lower clouds
like living rooms 
furniture crowds
suffocating
simplicity

rooms accessories
with lifelike décor 
pitiful candles
flying into nothing

small flames of delight
stay bright then flitter
dimmer into darkened
stop places of dread
no dreams…

is my life intriguing
perhaps appeasing 
to your worsened
state of being

well…

I am on cloud 9
cruising…..
not...

I float up in the airway up high 
It’s like a drug and I’m always high
I don’t want to come down can’t you see
I enjoy it too much I’m in ecstasy

Your love makes me fly and it suits me fine
I here with you but I’m...

As I stood there looking to the sky,
I felt so small, the stars seemed bigger than I.

The expanse of darkness hiding the moon,
Clouds were sleeping as the darkness loomed.

I stood there and prayed to the Lord,
God please fix our broken world.

A tear rolled down and...

Sane of a sound mind
Stay out mine
Just trying to reach cloud nine
Instead of always experiencing the down sides
Before it's chow time
This all goes without rhyme

Messes cleaned up with a rag
In my presence tails wag
I zig and I zag
Got caught up in another snag
Causing a brief...

Your Love flows through my body
With static delight
As you hold me in your tender arms
Under moonlight tonight

The passion in our eyes
Sparkling brighter than the stars
As we drift on beautiful love
Past jupitor and mars...

Here, to my right on cloud nine, 
sits God, finding my match.
He's back down on two.
I take the stairs, the elevator's full. 

Back on two, we reconcile,
thinking back to long conversations
of us, and you, and our future as one.

I had so much love to give,
but...
