AloneA Poem by Jack...
Alone Taken to the shadows, amass the frozen fall Dreams of darkened hours sing fresh in every mindset, placing avenues in the past Brick and mortar tendencies build a fortress around your heart, as every nightfall wisdom or sound against the rail, echoes in trust Footprints in the snow…forward and back again Never once a closed eye, an unclenched fist, as I, the lone silhouette against your stained glass fears stand firmly at the gate of brass and forged steel, tarnished by weather but steady as devotion, protecting you from the deepest of harm Seeking nothing…not an ounce of peace, for this role is now my destiny, my soul surrender to a heart that beats within my own existence in melodic undertones of poetic truths And I gaze upon the winter moon, shining its light upon your beauty, which I have come to long in visions of my own shortcomings…alone © 2013 Jack...Author's Note
