Poem Title:
Poem
The Depths Of Loneliness Lonely, gloom eats at my heart days that can not be undone A bed that fits only just one a quilt never to be given a restart House, that holds no sweet acts nights eating into my lost mind This state of confusion so unkind science book with no clear facts Screams, sit deep within my soul darkness splashing its way out Silence in a soft plastic shout feeling in an endless dirt hole Help, a lost cause destroy hope memories singing a sweet name Life is defeated, love is lame holding onto a long broken rope Me, a child in a small hidden cage defenseless against time and fear Eyes blinded and dry of any tear wilderness of round stones and rage Lonely house screams help me live ghosts have all ran into the light Moonlight shines down each night on empty rooms with nothing to give! Robert J. Lindley Note--- Much older write , had no date but memory serves me it was written in the late 70's. I went thru a most trying time back then. Did a couple of minor edits and shortened the poem one stanza. Dropped the previous closing stanza entirely as this one fits better.
