poems from childhood

When you look to the sky

Do the clouds form shapes,

As they float on by…

Depicting emotions I dare not face?

Does the sun shine

As bright as my smile

Peaking behind each “I’m fine”

Bringing out my inner child?

What about the rain...

Does it tell of my hidden sorrows?

Do you see the reflections of my pain...

With every drop, hopes for a better tomorrow?

Does the sunset reveal

The shades of my soul?

Even those I conceal…

Blending with all things dull.

As the snow blankets my past

Does it appear pure and white?

Are you baffled by the contrast…

Cosmetology of each plight?

With each breath you take

Is my scent inhaled?

With each test of fate

Will our love prevail?

As the tides push and pull

The waves, my thoughts, crash and retreat.

Moon illuminating high and full…

Do I make you feel complete?
