Sullen clouds wreak havoc
in the revolution of my dreams
only to wake up to my
gloomy inner world
The entire day is lived
in a blurry flash
out of control
in the grips of fate
out of time
in the disquiet mind
Perhaps I can ask for a gentler rain
to return tomorrow
where I could finally be found
in the grips of a world where
there is a place for everything and
everything is in its place
Maybe my mind will shimmer
with ideas of evaporation of melancholia
in the form of a storm that rages outside
so the one inside feels comforted as well
In the hopes that my gloom
will finally bloom
as my velvet dew tears observe
the Sisyphus battle within me
Today’s prompt was laborious yet rewarding. We had to create a universal deck of 100 words and then choose one or two cards (2 words on one card) and then conjure a poem with those words as prompts. The words chosen for me were (ironically) fate, disquiet, sullen and gloom. This poem is a result of that.
This was the third day of following prompts by NaPoWriMo and like always it has been a treat to write poems that we won’t usually write.
Very beautifully crafted. 🙏🌹
Thank you. Glad you liked it 🖤
