A Loner's Heart Dances in the Ink

The sky’s nose is pressed to the window of a loner’s heart
Knowing something dances in the bottom
And it stands in front of him

Nothing in life shows what a loner really feels
More than that fountain of ink
Whispering from her pen

Still the sky wonders if there is anything really there
Or if a loner’s heart is merely full
Of emptiness dancing bare

You can see the sky’s ear pressed ever so closely  
Against the window of a loner’s heart
Listening to the pulsing beat

Knowing something wondrous dances in the bottom
That is timeless, yet still he wonders
If it only dances in the ink

That is the question, is it not? Whether what lives and breathes in full color from black ink exists anywhere else? And yes, the loner's heart is full of emptiness...except that it rarely dances. You've done lovely work here again, Neva. Thank you.

[Gomer LePoet]

The loner's heart doesn't know how to release it's internal feelings in a human relationship, but the pen is it's friend. It allows the loner to talk to no one at the same time it can talk to everyone. another wonderful insight Neva.

Another excellent work from my friend, Neva!

another wonderful heart song , love the second stanza

[Rediscovery]

This is so true. I myself am a loner and this comes pretty close to what I feel like everyday that I go to school. Great job Neva!

intresthing thought proccess. Is there intelligent life out there, I higher being? If so what is His plans, is there a true love for me? also your calling in life and making me thing of the expression of "How much damage can one man with a pen do"

There are worse things than being alone, or so I've learned from this lifetime. I've been a loner of choice for most of my life, never really letting people in. Each time I have, I have been painfully reminded why I should not seek companionship anywhere. Writing is for loners indeed. You get tired of living out there, and start living inside, content in being alone, cos you're writing about things that make you happy. If only the real life could really be like that imaginary world created in the ink! I might learn to dance and sing once again.

this makes me think about that famous quote - "to be or not to be"...very nice :).

[Adelia Alighieri]

Brilliant title, I'm amused.
"Still the sky wonders if there is anything really there
Or if a loner’s heart is merely full
Of emptiness dancing bare" - this stanza is amazing, very powerful.

Keep writing!

[The old me]

[Sarah Lynn]

This was delightful to read, I love how you kept the theme going. It really tied the poem together nicely in the end. The personification of the sky was well executed. =]
