Alone
Alone ( A poem for the other half of my soul )
Loneliness; I’m sure
Is something we all have known
The sleeping mask of sorrows heartbreak
Lives a dusty vagabond
Somewhere on our traveled roads
Resting in the ditches
Where moonless night eyes
Have stumbled upon
Lost
In such solitude
I have dreamed
Stood out loud on mountain peaks
And called my soul
To the sun
Searching for love
That special someone
Her unknown face
All my need
In her unknown life
With mystery wished
To the sacred webs
That someday would turn
Upon the road an unknown bend
And see her there
At the crossroads
Of both our journeys end
Back then it never seemed
The willing undercurrents of my dreams
Would bind upon its destiny
And bring me the promise
It had so quietly made for me
And all my lover
In perfect view
Found in the ghostly ties
Of me
To you
And now; loneliness
Seems such a farce
Something that lay beneath
The foot trips on broken rocks
A mere shadows confusion
Of unfocused emotion
My loneliness
An un-truth
Diaphanous
Evaporates to meaningless
She is the sanctuary
The only place I long to be
She is my silence
And my echoing cry
Called from those dreaming mountain peaks
My saving angel
My redemption
Eternity has built for me
In the embraces of her arms
All that I could ever be
She is my home
And having found
This finality of love
I understand now
How life can feel so empty
I know now what it means to be
Alone
