Cloud 19

Cloud 19

A Poem by Tamika Finley

I would smile..
Thinking of how you made me feel..
Able to relate..
To the lyrics played..
From  the Cloud 19 Mixtape..
You used to be my escape..
Just the thought of you was a getaway..
I cherished you..
Moments together, I couldn't wait..
Days at the park just being a compact taste..
Of our forever only a few ages away..
I loved that..
I loved us..
I cherished "us"..
It was that us that made me keep the mixtape on replay..
Cloud 19 being the most played mixtape..
Engross in you while in the shower playing this mixtape..
And I was just being played..
Like an outplayed Cloud 19 mixtape.

Cloud 19, fascinating title. I interpret it as something even higher than Cloud 9, maybe the Cloud 9 of a 19-year-old?

I liked the rhyme all the way from the first line to the "only a few ages away" line, it really put the lines on top of each other- tightening the poem. Tight - "compact," like their love I guess.

I liked the line "Our forever only a few ages away." Ironic to put "forever" in the future.

Ouch... last two lines were a bit raw.

Sometimes I wonder though... people really bein played or is it that neither really has a clue at that point what life is bringing at them? Yeah I know if its based on knowing lies to lay some pipe its wrong but sometimes neither has any pipe in mind - life just happens and both get overwhelmed in their nows. And damn it hurts - really does... but dealin is what we do all our lives... ya know?
