Cloud and Earth
cloud was acting weird all noon
like he wanna rain down
wanna make earth wet
but can’t cause earth denied
don’t know what happen between them
maybe the earth was angry
for not being their
when she was on fire
burning all around
crying for help
and now he is here
smirking and glaring at her
making excuses, singing songs
and writing poems for her
he is yelling vows of gifting his heart
and sacrificing his life
each vow intensifies with thunder strikes
shaking the earth to the nerves
making the earth to pull down the guard
and hug the cloud and sing along
but she can’t
can’t believe in him
she knows he will leave her again
he needs to, he needs to continue his journey
and she can’t follow his along
and she knows she can not bear any more pain
she tells him with a heavy heart
every word of her is like dart piercing his chest
making his heart bleed
they both are crying
and as destined clouds leave
but this time there was no goodbyes
they don't even take a glace
they set each other apart
but not for so long
this situation will come again
and they have to face each other again
maybe not as lovers but as an acquaintance
but this situation will come
till then the sky will lit up with light
and earth will be covered with flora.
