Cloud You

by kitrosemon13

Published August 21, 2010

Ocean and seas the waves wash me,
Salt drowns my lungs and I've lost my will to fly.
To go on with life without you seems like a terrible crime.
I'd love to stay forever, high above the waves...
Dreaming of clear skies,
and forever endless days.

It's like that sometimes high up on cloud 9,
with you it's how I feel,
and the feelings real.
Unlike anything else in life the only thing to truly keep me high,
nothing else can make me feel this way.
Only you as clear as the sky is blue.

On cloud you is all I need,
forever we'll be an endless dream.

I thought that that was pretty sweet. I liked the whole "cloud 9" "cloud you" thing. It was totally an original poem, and that's what made it so awesome.

This is basically my only quarrel with it. The line seems to have too many syllables and messes with the rhythm.

and the feelings real.


Oh and this too, just a little thing, should be "feeling's".

Anyway, great poem. I liked it a lot.

This is a neat poem, I like it. Oceans and clouds... they make me think of summer.

The first line in red I found a little confusing. Maybe you meant "Ocean and seas and waves wash me," because the "the" doesn't really fit in there. The lines in blue are the ones I like a lot. The rhyme of those lines is very nice and fits in the poem very well.

I don't really understand the "cloud 9" thing... maybe I'm missing something.

These are nice ending lines. I think I understand what you're saying with the "on cloud you" part, but maybe just "Cloud you is all I need" would be a better way to say that.

Great work and keep writing!
