do clouds have feelings?

the ones i get when i look at ceilings?

the melancholy thoughts that tumble through,

usually when it's from thinking of you.


those thoughts, now those,

can be good, i suppose

like a thorning rose,

it grows and grows.


the thorns get thick

and overcome the petals quick

excited, it is, 

to make the pretty his.


the pretty in the rose,

it grows and grows

until it lows and lows 

then there's nothing that shows.

 

but the clouds see all.

everything, big and small

they are there, old and new,

even when they look at you.


The author's comments:

This piece is one that came to me one night when I was trying to think of something to write. I started with a couple of words from a generator, and one of those words was cloud. I started to write, and, while rhyming, the poem came together. Now that I think about it, it is about somebody, but the "plot" is relatable and can be about whoever the reader chooses.
