A Thought

A car door slams a spoon falls tingling 
as it hits the floor 

a person shouts a drunken call as 
he hit the floor 

a tap drips popping your eardrums 
a bottle smashes 
it hit a dark and dusky tunnel wall 
far deep in to the middle of night 

the rain falls soaking the nights floor 
i will not fall at the wet floor 
to hold you again to love you 
i will not sleep i will not eat until your resting here with me 


the nightwalker

You seem to be dealing with some deep-seeded loneliness, Duncan. Many of us can relate to the message in this sad but well-penned poem! Love, Carolyn
