Clouds

Distant windows 

See through to the mind

The barrier that is held 

Against the rain clouds that find

A consciousness I can't seem to leave behind

One day the clouds will fade 

For once I won't be in the shade 

I've no reason to run, to fear

For this darkness will never disappear 

Behind the clouds 

Sunlight seeps through 

See the hollow shell of a butterfly 

All alone and beautiful 

The colour of peacock blue 

Rainbows form 

Like a chameleon 

Dangerous and machiavellian 

Lurking inside the dark dungeon 

Creepy and unnerving knowing where you hide 

Release the poison 

From the beautiful bride

This took an eerie turn towards the end, but the imagery is fantastic, and the flow equally well composed. However, the "bride" at the end may be a little too cryptic for us readers, given there's no red yarn connecting to anything prior in the poem. Are the rainbows the clouds' bride? That would be a little weird on the level that "rainbows" is plural and "bride" is singular....just like "chameleon"....perhaps "a rainbow forms" or "chameleon" is pluralized, and if "bride" is supposed to refer to the "rainbows", it should be pluralized as well. But I still maintain that the use of "bride" may be merely to rhyme with hide, for there's no link as to why it would be the bride to the clouds. This is otherwise very well written. Well done!
