    high incestuous clouds
    claim the vast horizons
    do you fear it?

    say farwell
    to the pieces of the sky
    as they fade into oblivion
    only the strong survive

    a constant sway
    keeps time in your eyes
    the ocean seems quiet
    and the earth seems wise

    colonies of moss
    grow on top of stone
    for miles and miles
    the sweet stilness glows

    watch for the horseman
    he calls out your name
    hell tempt you with reason
    and mesmorizes you with flames

    a shot in the dark
    a reason without rhyme
    the lotus will cry
    and shrink with time

    a continuous smoke screen
    running in our minds
    the plains are desolate
    cause the rivers run dry

    I'm not sure what the poem is about, so when you pick the title you might pick something to give a clue to the poem. perhaps if I had more time to spend... but not today... there was one part that I thought would flow better with a slight change:

    hell tempt you with reason
    and mesmorizes you with flames

    When I read through it the first time I thought I read "memorialize" instead of mesmorizes, but it was because I thought it was "hell" but I think you meant "he'll" as in he will. Then I liked "memorialize"... but mesmorizes is good too - but I would use the singular "mesmorize" without the "s" at the end. either way I would drop "and"

    watch for the horseman
    he calls out your name
    he will tempt you with reason
    memorialize you in flames

    or

    watch for the horseman
    he calls out your name
    he will tempt you with reason
    mesmorize you with flames

    either word, mesmorize or memorialize, still makes you kind of stumble. They just have so many syllables for the last line... maybe...

    watch for the horseman
    he'll mesmorize you with flames
    he will tempt you with reason
    when he calls our your name

    nope, still stumbling over the m word. oh well, just thoughts as I reviewed, later,
