The Travelers Tales of Loneliness

A Poem by Raymond Federle
"

The Travelers Tales of Loneliness

"

Might not a lover in his wanning years,

With his idle hands and an absent stare,

Shuffling the pages of a writer's note,

Suprised, turn to look on empty air.


His thoughts once and all, his only worth,

But now forgotten on dusty shelves.

When his youth and love imbued the mind

and he rose anew in ancient tales.


Tears break forth that ever this should be.

Love is a vision that would soon rearise.

As if pain like light rose above the sea,

And his heart did leap with mad surprise.


When a kiss from love shines in the eyes.

He sees his own spirit look back at him.

Raymond beautiful job. "His thoughts once and all, his only worth,
But now forgotten on dusty shelves.
When his youth and love imbued the mind
and he rose anew in ancient tales." This line got me the most. It frightens me a little,a thought of being forgotten.Keep me informed,would like to read more of you!

We have the ability to live in moments past and hope that there might be some future moments waiting for us.

Tears break forth that ever this should be.
Love is a vision that would soon rearise.
As if pain like light rose above the sea,
And his heart did leap with mad surprise.


When a kiss from love shines in the eyes.
He sees his own spirit look back at him.

I like the idea and story here, it is quite lonely and sad but also it finds time to remember the adventures trapped within the travler's mind.
Well played. ^^

Enigmatic, elusive, otherworldly..... such a beautiful piece again, sigh, I'm hating my busy times, for not being more here, and read your art. :) but I know it's timeless, as are we, so in our own time, we'll read, feel and see... fantastic Ray. To travel to loneliness, it the most deep, and artful deep sea rock bottom, or riff to find... you just are not afraid, and aware. Brilliant, mature, and real.

Thanks for reading! :)
A well crafted "almost sonnet"; the flow works well here. The title reminded me of Chaucer. :)
