Alone

 

 

 

 

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

Thank you for reading

Indeed, the resisting urge to pair bond, and the delicious imagery here is perfection, well done.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much my friend. I appreciate your kindness.

[Kimmie]

This is poignant Jack and deeply touching. Being alone is not fun or something that should happen to anyone. I was talking to someone earlier on who is feeling like that and told me she is slowly sneaking away from this site... it's sad actually and no one should feel like that.

You though, as Frieda said, are never alone.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much my friend. People seem to leave here from time to time for many different reasons...but I have learner that here on this site you can always find friend if you look.

[Kimmie]

Yes I agree, but sometimes you find the people who you know are friends and even with them there by your side you still feel alone.

[Frieda P]

This is poignantly affecting Jack. You've captured something very special here.

"in melodic undertones of poetic truths"

I love that line to pieces. Destiny, in your soul'd surrender is nothing short of brilliant. You are never alone my sweet friend. Bravo!
