Cloudy Skies looking for a reason

by Marcus blake   Apr 13, 2012


I've been looking for a reason and with this cigarette in my hand nothing seems to make sense

Like a moment that passes and before the day ends, I still can't hold the world in my hands

When the sun hid behind the clouds and as the moon fell down the sky was falling again...

As I ran past the wind and as the distance followed me I swore I was flying

It was that same windy day when I held her that breezy night when she kissed me under the moon

That morning after when I shared an image with her when the mirror reflected our faces

How I could never cry again, all my tears dried up but she still cried for me...

I've been looking for a reason and this cigarette is done and still nothing makes sense

    I've never smoked anything before, but this piece let me see through the eyes of a smoker, perhaps?
    I asked myself: why do people smoke? what's the purpose in smoking?
    what i got here was that the persona was smoking to bide time, to try to forget, perhaps? or remember? it's interesting and thought-provoking for me, i like it.
    The imagery was nice and sort of gloomy, and the word choice was just right to me at the moment, since I'm becoming more into simple poetry right now haha.
    Great job, sir. Keep writing
