Alone

A difficult time as a man waits for his true love.

Constant desperation from the four winds.

Darkness and solitude, the only friends.

Distance ridicules with her ghastly voice

and her inimical glare kills the joys.

 

 Time, like a leech on the skin; parasite,

absorbs youth; its egocentric delight.

The heart grows cold from the lack of rapport,

gradually wilts; a rose without support.

 

The echo of the silence of your voice

pulses amidst the room; a stubborn noise.

Forgetting that intoxicating scent

has taken several nights of lament.

 

Though I am nothing but a simple man,

doing his best in everything he can,

life is harsh; demanding and relentless,

who can bail me out from this vicious mess?

 

Only you, I know this well, only you

liberate me of that unpleasant view,

that nasty sight that tugs my soul to death,

I’m set free with a small taste of your breath.

 

So, hurry now and let me hear your voice,

every word that revealed that perfect choice.

Etched in my mind is the day that you came;

lived in your arms and remained just the same.

another well written piece. I love your use of punctuation to really drive home the points you're attempting to put across to your readers. I'm so used to reading things about darkness and broken hearts that this poem of sheer longing by some girl's 'prince charming' is a delightful detour from all the others.

Once again a lovely piece. NIce work!

I use to hate being lonely and not in love. It always took to long to find the one, and I think in that I made haste decisions and never selected the best fit for me but rather selected based on not wanting to be lonely anymore. Glad those days have past. I would rather be lonely than to be with the wrong woman again. This one is more poetic than music in its tone. I see you have been practicing. Hey what happened to your other poems???

This is very sweet, very cute. It is well written and amazing. I think everyone feels this way when you wait for the person you truly love. Nice write.
