I went to the terrace and looked up, The sky blushed and tore itself open. I stood close to the edge, To get a better view of the town, It was the playfulness of the wind, That finally took away my breath.
It was in the silence, That I heard the branches talk to the wind, And saw the leaves, swaying gently, To the music the sky sang for the earth.
I closed my eyes, To take in the smell, To hang these pictures, On the walls of my brain. So that I could revisit this lane of memory, Whenever it gets a little lonely, So that I could have a little of symphony, In my otherwise tuneless journey
I looked at the horizon, And saw the sun wave a good bye, The sky bled, hoping it could get it to stay. The sun, in turn, left a million stars, As a promise and as a reminder, that it would return.
With a reluctance will, I saw the sun, Blend into the sky, Splitting itself, into pretty colors, Maybe that's why, the sky can do this every day, It knows that even when the sun is gone, It remains a part of herself.
I pondered for a minute, how nice it would be to made up of the sunsets. A hopeful kind of goodbye.
I looked up at the sky, and saw the moon wink at me, Despite myself, I felt a smile tugging on my lips. It was a moment or an hr later When the moon told me, it's not conscious of the scars on its face, That they're beyond self pity. (take it people, moon does not give a shit about your idea of beauty. Assholes)
It was with a much better spirit, that I left the terrace, With a cheer in my footsteps and a new poem on my finger tips.
sky.

Storms of the sky
Enchanting mountains, enchanted eyes Platinum Everest against the skies Bolts of thunder deadly bright Hold her till she bleeds tonight. In the wind, purple lanterns glow Shine, glimmer, all lights go Hush, you Sculptor Carve me out of stone You, Mister sculptor, Hold your sculpture close. Inside, is what you hold a beating heart Or stars crashing into the sea? You are the thunderstorm at night Whose touch like thunder faints me to sleep.
If the sky was a swan, Each whispering cloud That sat on its breast Would be the thousands Of feathered wishes Of those down below, The thousands of hearts Sending pure intentions And deep-felt longings Up where they collect Into ribbons of light, Representing the best side Of all of us.
Your eyes dilate as they stare into mine My name trickles out of your mouth like a song The stars align concocting your facial structure Lovely is all your smile can be Arms grasping my body like hope Water trickles down your cheek; revealing the thousands of lives you've lived Breathing the air of subtle beauty The sun beamed it's rays to create your shine Twinkling lights fill your thoughts I shall need you until the day I'm not allowed to I will bask in your words until they cease to speak.
I see clouds, Painted onto the sky, They look like hills, I could walk over them, If only, They weren't, Mere water vapour, Standing liken to mountains, With castles on top, As the day changes, The sun sets slowly, The clouds hang static, They're fully charged, Slowly filling with rain, Lashes of rain, Splashes of rain, Soon they will pile, The sky electric, Waiting to prepare an overnight storm, Perhaps tomorrow, Maybe it won't be so warm.
