Short Thundercloud Poems

Frightening beauty
Buldging with intensity,
Gloomy thunderhead....

drifting in and out of dreams
as elusive as this all seems
moving in and out of time
with only fantasy to remind

touching a face that isn't real
a broken heart that doesn't heal
memories quickly fade away
leaving thoughts of yesterday

afloat on a thundercloud
a voice that screams out loud
and yet no one can hear
as I cry these silent tears...

the crackling of the clouds
     already white and snowy-gray

the shadows of puppets
  behind satin sheets

         like lightning bugs obeisance
  to the Lord’s applause

the zigzag rags
   behind the mother-cloud

the hallelujah projection
               rolls

    and spectator’s eyes appeased —
the thundercloud euphoriant

It is a pitiful display
To belong where you don’t belong
Wanting to rule a former day

A worn out tune of a love song
No longer loved by the crowd
Down with the old King, so long!

The blizzard’s countenance proud
in the Kingdom of the Warm Front
Is quashed by the thundercloud

The waning moon takes affront
As sunbeams begin to amass
All victors leave the battlefront

Popular sentiments pass
Like a crying hourglass...

Wind in the willows
A soft gentle breeze
Whispers and rustles
Of the willow leaves

Wind strokes my cheeks
  And caresses my face
  As down the highway
  On my Harley I race

Woodsy breeze blowing
Scent of Autumn leaves
  As I ride my horse
  Between the trees

 Gusty gales howl
When Earth is too dry
Driving rain down from 
 A thundercloud sky

"Wind Song, Wind Song"
    Stays in my mind
   It is also a favorite
    Perfume of mine....
