I painted your heart with clouds

I painted your heart with clouds

Cloud nine you called it

Your little heaven

It was sunny, I admit

I painted them in, windows that is

You let me in,

Sand dunes were everywhere

It was truly

The Kalahari Desert

I painted non-stop

When Botswana rain came

We sang and danced

And the moon

Stole gliding glances at us

Through the clouds

I painted the clouds, I add

with Droplets in free fall

To water your heart’s oasis

And found myself

Inextricably strapped

To your bosom

I looked up; while I was painting

And saw your eyes

And

Sparkled shattered shards

Made their way, conspicuously

Into my heart

Either way

I smiled

You smiled

I forgot

And

You reminded me
