Alone

Alone When the moon hides behind the clouds When the seagulls hide their faces underneath their wings When the ocean waves are tired and resting And the only sound are the whispering of palm leaves He stands alone where others stood before Where countless dreams have drowned Where hopes of love are buried neath the gritty sand Where tears have been shed and washed away It would be easy to walk into the ocean’s arms It would be like gasping for air like when she walked out It would be like his heart stopping as it did before He ponders whether he, like others, can live with pain He saw the silver moon peeked out of the fluffy clouds It seemed as it knew the pain inside of him It seemed as if moonbeams were caressing his heart it seemed as if there was only one option for him

Wow! you pulled my heart strings. Thinking of lines about ..where he stood, where dreams died...What's the one option for him????? Could the moonbeams rescue him.. Might be a sequel to this. Great write! bbn

Poetry is the emotional salve for heartbreak. Your poem has a calming effect, as if this difficult time of break-up will always pass; the tears will dry. That's my take. Cool poem.
