Cruel to be kind

Looking up to the sky as the clouds overcast
Like a winter blanket;
But cooling rather than warming those caught underneath.
No rhyme nor rhythm yet translucent in intent.
A dark and foreboding omen of relief and revenge,
Yet disarming those below with a welcomed cold breeze;
As if laying bare like an open book,
Lamenting that it is only cruel to be kind.

… or is it being kind to be cruel
The truth lies in the immediate aftermath.

Memories from this life lived

Memories drive nostalgic sepia scorched warm feelings

What ‘was,’ ne’er remembered to completion;
What ‘can,’ succumbs to love and tempered tones
Of events that hone on euphoria for sake of misunderstanding.

When was what was…
Is subdued in the smoky haze of battered experience,
Can hurt be felt across the horizons
Of far gotten conclusions that were wisps at best?
