A single cloud but it's gone now

The first poem I've written in over two years

I never noticed how fast clouds move

when you look at them they seem so idle,

just pockets of vapour that hover in the sky.

Looking at them now brings back memories,

memories that lurch from my stomach

and these feelings cling to my insides

like a long winded heartache for a lover

I don't know if I like these moments;

when I'm alone with my consciousness

allowing it to engulf me in a daze

and the sun setting in...

sometimes I want to forget

and be unconscious...

living elsewhere

in a fantasy.

I read your words three times to make sure I understood their flow. A marvelous poem that achieves seamless transitions from clouds to memories to self-consciousness and finally a desire to escape. Well done, dear poet. I enjoy poems that make me switch on my brain.

Thank you for your review, one of the best parts about posting your writing online is being able to talk about it with others. I forgot how fun this was
