Rag on a Cloudy Day - Scott Joplin 1868-1917

I am highly entertained
though I see through the window what lies there:
yes, dark cloud hovers above our street
like a piece of rag.

But we admire contraries.
I am entertained because I hear rag -
all about pineapple, reflection,
stoptime, a paragon, a maple leaf.

You would never predict your treasure,
how so many of us listen to it today,
your music downloaded

Premium MemberDark Cloud Arising

Dark cloud arising/
Take me to the place of the dead/
Tell me your secrets/
Show me your ways/
May I know you/
In the morning light/
As I know you/
In the darkness cold/
Let me feel your sweet embrace/
As I caress the darkness/
Take me with you/
As the journey unfolds/
For I am your twin/
Dark cloud arising/
Lead me into the night/
That I may

A Dark Cloud of Pain and Gloom Has Left Me In a World of Doom

Luck is something hard to find
Will someone just give me a sign
Saying my life will get better
So rain clouds don't keep me wetter
Everyday with something new
That just always leave me blue
Like finding out a bad disease 
Is gonna bring me to my knees
And I have just months to live
Just once universe please give
Me something glad

Dark Cloud

Years go by, my life still feels incomplete.
Travelled around the world and like a fool, got myself stuck in a hole down some ragged street.
Is this life even for me? Matters not because i used my tool.
Will i even be a good father? These thoughts overide and rule.
Didn't even want to be a stepfather, as

Dear Qeemti

You need a dark sky
to gather your constellation 
and I can see
every twinkle of it 
in your eyes when 
the crescent moon 
takes shape in your face. 
Yet I feel your hesitation;
Unsure about whether or not I'm
Just an inimical cloud
that pours ache to your heart.

A Dark Cloud

The Shadow hovers…
as I wake
from my sleep

Respreading its
shroud
from a future once bleak

Its darkness portends
what fear
seeks to end

All memory entombed,
as wishes
pretend

Dark Cloud

I feel like I'm starting to fall 
Back into that place again 
The place that I try to hide from
That place I dislike being in 

I'm not sure of the why, or how
I just feel that familiar return
Of the dark cloud that comes from nowhere
And makes happiness hard to discern

It resembles a feeling of grief
The heaviness weighs in

Dark Cloud Overhead

I used to write love poems..
Until my heart became invaded by the night
I used to love to find a home,
Until shadows filled the light
I used to be a golden boy
But now I hate the colors greedy sight
So many things in me that have become faded
And now it's the end of days inside of me that

The Dark Cloud

It's like I'm screaming
But my voice is on mute
It's like an asthma attack
I'm in an endless weeze
I'm waving my arms around for help
But it just makes it harder to breathe
It's like I'm standing 
On the edge of a cliff
One foot dangling down
One more step
And I shall drown
It's like getting run over by a car
Blood spurts

A Dark Cloud, Circles

A dark cloud, circles.
An outcry from the land consumes the night air.
Lips tremble, hands tremble.
Bodies lay, sit aghast.
An unexpected revelation.
A dark cloud, circles.

An outcry from the land consumes the night air.
Silence runs miles as the news spread.
Eyes flatter and fight back.
Hearts fall, tears fail.
Legs loose power.
A dark cloud, circles.

Lips tremble, hands tremble.
Words left unsaid traverse

Cry Dark Cloud

Dense dark cloud
A shadow you cast
When never allowed
How can you last
In your way 
Nothing you spared
Come to me
I am not scared

In rage you come
Marching with thunder
Out with no cover
A night of no surrender
Lightning all around
Rumbling in my heart
I am standing my ground
This is just the start

Your fury unfolds
A face off I choose 
Summoning strength untold
It’s

Dark Cloud


( Nairobi Mall Attack)

What the Dark Cloud bestows
no even a Clairvoyant knows

Unless if it breaks into a Flow
None can estimate the blow.

Rolling, writhing 'fore rupture
wicked, amorphous structure

Eerie and dark, low it hovers
menacing to break its covers:

For, Hate is that heavy cloud
brandishing Guns in its shroud

Bursting into a grisly Flood
of Tears, and innocent blood!

Behind the Dark Cloud

When the sky goes black,
And the clouds, less gay,
The sun hides, shining from the back;
Jesus is always my stay.

Tho' life be grim, or vexed,
Nothing can foil His plan.
In Christ is my future indexed,
Starting me each day with a flan.

The Lord's never scarce to save.
Nearest when my strength is gone.
He lends a hand or a stave,
And

A Dark Cloud

A Dark Cloud  
                             
Why do I cry when I don't feel like crying?
Only because my pain increases daily until 
it became intolerable, indescribable over the
