Cloudy Skies Poem by Vanessa Kingsley

Yesterday’s colour
Faded to gray
It looks like
Rain is on its way
Yesterday’s memories
Replay like a broken CD
In the end however
It all looks good to me
Life is cheap
Bittersweet
It tastes good to me
Missing you
There’s nothing I can do
But wait for a fitful sleep
Dreams of late nights
And peaceful closed eyes
Is all I can see
I wonder where you are
How’d you get so far
From what we used to be
Gentle caresses
Against my skin
Eyes wide shut
Remain unopened
What I’d give to have
Another token
Cloudy skies feel just right
Because if it were clear
Then there’d never be a fight
Gentle clouds of gray
Wash away the sorrow
I may not like
What I see tomorrow
In the end I know
I’ll always have your hear
And you will have mine
Until the end of time
As long as I can take refuge
In cloudy skies
