billowing black clouds,
a silly sneeze of a rain;
such an absurd scene!
K Balachandran Jun 2018
Spotted you in clouds,
asked wind my friend to act;
you embrace as rain !
If the sky were a pool, a swimming pool,
You cloud would fit the rule
Sunglasses and Lillo-pose
Who caught who you suppose?
It's as though you'd just noticed
A human at the window

Peeper human had seen the model cloud
In her fronds of glamour shroud.
You are staring because I'd been
Now you've noticed that you've been seen
With a gusty windward swoop
You drop somewhere into the pool

Ah, I say
And back away...

You
Your face so handsome
near or far
Features like
a well sculptured land
Etched in my memories forever
How I'd love to carry you away
on a silver lined cloud
curled up beside you
My beautiful man

On an open plain
Gazing beyond
A mirage of light

Distant from those
Who hold me under
Grasping for breath
In an ocean of hurt

For I am alone
In this voyage
But for the thoughts
That cloud my view

Upon clear skies
An opening
Distant from those
Who hold me under

Walk as I must
Kicking up the dust
Between my tired feet
And the heavy ground

The path is long
But that I know
Step by step
The seeds will sow

avians migrate south
streetlights flicker
the temperature changes
but do we?

minuscule monsters
in no way invincible
she speaks truth she wishes was
who are you but a talking corpse with selfish organs?

memories of the past
the remnants only seen by her
an artist to herself
who would listen?

avians migrate south
streetlights flicker
the cloud seen yesterday is never to be seen again
will she be missed?

clouds mumble secrets,
rain’s mysterious chatter;
Evoking unknown!

but i never looked up

met a genie on a long road
delivered with the smoke of a cracked kitchen kettle
juggling three wishes
in his drunken monologue
like a blind man juggles bowling pins
and stupidly i used them all
on making the next few tomorrows disappear
                                                                                        and now i'm here

anyway how may i take your order?
i'm not entirely sure either
