Meloncholy Man

Inspired by a line from 'The Moody Blues'

I'm a Melancholy Man

that's, what I am...

To have captured

a love

like

a

lake

of tears...

To have moved

a life

through

a

sea

of fears...

To have known

a soul

like

a

river

of years... alone.

Am I

Good goddess...gotta say Rory, I have enjoyed reading you today love, immensely, you still have a raw yet fragile cascading effect on your readers! I see you haven't posted for a while...I hope you do, peace to your heart friend from an old admirer xoxo

I'm really liking this. No bells and whistles, just raw words... Simple, yet very thought provoking

If you don't mind, I'd like to pick your brain on why you chose to put "alone" on the second to last line, as opposed to letting it stand on a line of it's own. Such things tend to interest me..

Very interesting and provocative piece. my mind is spinning around with this one.
Simply...complex.

Together we can face the alone much better... I think I've paddled a good ways down that river. Blessings of love and light.
