Alone

This is who I am, the defining words of my existence... and the best poem of this this site!! ~~~~~~~~smiles~~~~~~~~

Since Ill Omen lulled at the cradle of my existence
Destiny has dawned its animosity with great persistence
Paths that were parallel have become less defined
Enamored dreams with reality have never entwined

Empty wells within my heart by tides of sorrow did overflow
Prayers of mercy that no one heard have slowly sunk below
Boisterous love-sighs smoothed off into a parting groan
And everything that ever was I embraced all alone

Deluded memories of this beginning still bleed through
As Tyrant Fate tainted my conciseness then waved adieu
Now hues of Heaven and Hell shine in my abstract days
Currents of the Unknown anchor me to an elaborate haze

But beneath the lacerated mask hides the truth that I must reveal
The longing of eyes and lips that these hands try to conceal
From the unconfined whispers swaying and playing in my chest
to all the ringlet of fiery dreams that still keep me possessed

Gazing, past the hallow fields through the clusters of vacant arms
Above my awaiting cold vault around the long forgotten charms,
for I still strive to see just one sunburst hope within Lifes crowds
But my Only World has suffused its face with darkened clouds

Revolving shadows of my demons were the creation of my own
And now, everything I have ever loved, I embrace all alone

This really is a most wonderful masterpiece!
Such a journey dear Poet! The self and the whole... But the longing that doesn't go away not even in the wholeness... and in both stages embracing it all alone! The hopelessness... This puzzles me...
Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[PearlPoet]

Thank you for feeling this dear One...
There is nothing left for me to hide and I am on my hands and knees to make this all go away...

Reading again... feeling more those heavy darkened clouds...
Wishing for the wind to bring them this way and let them rain in the Atlantic, giving room for the sun to shine over you again.
(hugs)
