Fleeting moments of cloud nine
euphoria antagonistic to this melancholic world,
a concept unknown if unaccompanied by substance.
sight to the sore eyes would be a blinding smile,
uncanny to this perplexed sequence.
.
plethora of love radiate mothers,
escorting a child's innocent giggle.
narcotics seeping into veins of breathing bodies,
of those once fed unadulterated ambrosia, now in a drugs scandal.
.
familiar tunes rhythmically harmonize with my heart,
confidante to soulmate unveiled the gloomy overcast.
in the despairing cosmos engulfed we are,
the exclusively fleeting moments of cloud nine will forever last.
.
- Mayurakhi Khaund
About this poem
I wrote this poem to interpret how happiness can be so contrasting depending on one's perspective. It's about the euphoria and the feeling of being on cloud nine which lasts a few seconds with a personal touch at the end.
