ABOVE THE DARK CLOUDS

Thoughts that try to distract us.


Poem Artwork

At times I am trapped

like the Spiders prey

caught in a thought

that will not go away,

one that nags and nags at my soul

demanding attention

even if I say NO.

Like a dark cloud it hovers around

making its prescence

more that profound,

while it does I realize one thing

always above dark clouds

there is a Sun shining.

The telephone rings

just what I need

to take me away

from this irritant

that beckons me,

soon it vanishes

where I do not care

just so long as I remember

the Sun is shining

up there.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
