Cloud of the sky fell in love with a stone of earth
came down to the land he left his big old hearth
dressed in white he looked bright in the dark black night
on its will it would grow on its will it would cease his height
he trimmed his beard, he looked weird yet he wanted to shine
as he looked in the mirror he said, cloud you look so fine
he scribbled in his arm that said, I love you dear stone
in life, together we would smile, together we would moan
as he thought of the stone in his face he had a big smile
he painted his love in a page that he kept on a file
he went to the house of stone he came with a red rose
on a day when the sun was bright he wanted to propose
he saw his stone lying naked, with another stone
they made love all night, cloud heard his lover moan
that night rained heavy as the cloud went back to his home
he told his mother he had been in love with a stone
Kanav, a fabulous write! The metaphor of Cloud and Stone has opened here the story of hearts.A story of love, unveiling of truth and outburst of emotion is told with intensity.Loved.
A fine piece in the art of symbolic personification, composed with an inborn talent of story-telling... as cloud is a rightly chosen image for the lavish and gentle downpour of soft feelings, while stone is stone-hearted indeed...you developed and then maintained the level of interest till the end...a verse tale writing is not a common art! ! ! very good! ! !
I love this sad but enchanting poem with your amazing imagination that makes cloud and stone so real that we feel cloud's innocence and hurt of finding stone, with another stone making love. Superb write!
What an impressive write. I enjoyed reading this very much. Excellent work!
A very enchanting poem from beginning to end. All the expectations of a young love, yet sadly ending with cold reality. Very imaginative.
The softness of the cloud, hardened by the coldness of the stone...quite the impressive poem! You have mastered the art of storytelling, in this piece....so sad, and touching. I applaud you. I will add this one to my favorites, as it is laced with emotions most can easily relate to...at one time or another....beautifully done! PEACE
Beautiful poem Kanav. Superb ending... he told his mother he had been in love with a stone.. Just loved it.

What a great poem! The story of the impossible love. Perhaps only mother cloud had predicted from the beginning that it would not work out. Fantastic choice of images. I like the idea of clouds loving stones but when the 'in' is added to be in love, suddenly the mission seems to become close to impossible.
