Lonliness

by Michael   Mar 4, 2006


In darkened corners of helpless room
with faint echos lingering in the air
shadows rest on wooden floor
memories play around
secrets keep hidden
next to my body.

Atmosphere is filled
with dancing flames
from dim candles
essence of roses and tulips
the heartbeat of raindrops on window plane.

In small sanctuary
pages turn of romantic tale
but I wait for you
so I can kill
the hole in my heart

    I like your choice of words and the imagery they convey, the language is different from what i usually read on here. However I didn't really get any sense of lonelines from this until the last stanza, I think using the main idea more in the first two stanzas would make the piece more effective. That being said I still think this piece was written well and it is incredibly poetic, well done :)
