The insomnia came in cloud covered fragments
with its mother, Depression.
As silent and pallid as she,
her hand clasped tightly to her,
as if two gray spirits that moored
in a silvered sorrowful tide....

The morning sun rose in silence, over the calm lake in red
You were dressed in yellow, your hair long and brown, your eyes dark blue
On a cloud covered day reflections faded, the sun set in black

The summer sun has gone into hiding

leaving us with these cloud covered skies.

The west bound breeze is cold and damp.

Happy moods are dampened too.

Clouds equal depression

as sun equals joy.

Gone just one day,

I miss it.

Come back

sun....

Yellow dreams of scintilla held ever tight
filling distant fields hidden out of sight
morning mist moves across the meadow
and sounds of a new day come alive

Hints of light rise from a darkened sky
parts of me arise, shown sparks in my eye
others just wait, still on a cloud covered day
begging for her warmth to forever stay...

Honesty’s idle breeze
gently blows whispers
into my blemished heart,
tarnished by metaphors
that hovered above
cloud-covered skies
in search of clarity
upon zephyrs of truth.
Malicious chatter
stirs ill-conceived winds
that rage internally
as sorrowful tempests
squall within my mind
until honesty’s idle breeze
whispers gently again....

I watched your fish dance 
From under my hat brim 
Cloud covered and dim   
While on your boat  
You would float   

Waiting for the chance  
Of a bending pole   
When one flickered
I giggled and snickered
Watching you jump for joy
Like a young boy
At peace was your soul

And all at once I understood
Your remembrance of boyhood
The echoes of the wake
The magic between you
The fish and the lake...

Wooden floor's relief
Cooling fevered feet
Pace, bare, in blackness
As tranquil raindrops
Softens prickly nerves

Cloud covered stars
Still shine, behind
Glowing without
Doubt's permission

To find them
Just look up
Hope sees through

The dark
Like the

Moon.

He asks me often
Why I did not write poems
When I fell in love with him

Dazed under your spell
I sure lost my footing like
A ball rolling down a slope

Words abandoned me
A thick cloud covered my brain
You think insane folks can write? 

I’m sorry, he said
A klutz I am to forget
All things wrong always my fault

I painted my dreams
on the cloud covered heavens
Poetic brushstrokes
I hope to come true

In soft watercolors
the shade of forever
Then signed them with love
and sent them to you

In hopes you would find
along the horizon
These November wishes 
as night comes to be

And know in your heart
the artistic meaning
My every dream
is you here with me

Smile stirred into shade of sundown,
    Mind moderately muse with fancy town.
Anon ascend in morning of mansion's renown,
    Cloud covered, converted to dusk from the dawn.


Dredge the ridge of Miraj, in deprivation of inspiration,
    Anymore, aught appearance of gart of hallucination.
Feasible unachievable feat, was the resolution,
Got, whether or not, strain to gain'll remain with aspiration....
