Clouds

a poem by Jyoti

I waited so long for clouds to dissolve
But they seem to like me lil’ too much
I tried tracing the proverbial ‘silver line’
But realistically, there’s nothing as such

Coming in all shades of black n white n grey
From me they’ve hidden their famous blue
A dash of pathos they’ve planted in me
Making life a saga of colorless hue

Once I recall, I was in love with them
When they stood there, up above so high
Now they’ve descended to envelop me till I choke
And I pray vehemently for their return to sky

Go away Clouds! please go away from my life
Let vibrant colors fill my palette again
Take a flight back to your hometown now
And for a change allow me to stand to gain
