CLoud 9

Floating on the ninth cloud
Far distant from any city sound
Untouched by corrupted lips
I could reach out and brush heaven with the tips
Of my fingers as my toes are licked
By cold flames I can barely depict
And all the while that I’m drifting
I can’t help to take notice you’re still missing 

I can see you below among the turmoil
Standing alone upon uncultured soil
You glance up to see me gliding by
And offer less than a longing sigh
As society swiftly dashes your regret
And not one more moment do you fret
For your convinced there’s still time
You certain your clock can unwind 

I suppose it’s quite divine
On this cloud called number nine
It’s far better than any whimsical dream
Even greater than heaven could possibly seem
But there’s a hole in the skies as there is in my heart
With you so far away this reality’s torn apart
You’re so distant yet close enough to taste
And I dread every single minute that you carelessly waste 

You tell me time after time
That what you’ve done is an uncriminal crime
Over and over you try to persuade me
That some day far away we’ll be
Floating up above upon a puff of smoky heave
And not burning together in firry Kelvin
But I find to hard to believe your decree
Why can’t you just simply answer my plea? 

I’ll follow you to the far distant clouds
Or down to the dark flaming underground
My path lies where you choose to go
And nothing could force my feet to slow
Eternity just isn’t eternity
Without your loving company
I could be burning in hell or up some where divine
But as long as I’m with you, I’m floating on Cloud 9
