Mel Merrill Poet Couplet

Are You Alone

Are you all alone tonight?
Peace be still till there is light.
And from a man who knows this well,
The sun will shine; the sadness quell.

And if ever you're alone again,
A yellow moon, your only friend--
I'll think of you, and you of me,
Finding solace in the company.

And who can say, perhaps we'll meet
While strolling down some empty street;
And you'll greet me, and I'll greet you,
No longer one, but gladly two.

Jan Allison April 12, 2014 at 4:09 PM oh Mel i think this is such a sad but beautiful write am going to add it to my favourites. Hugs Jan x Mel Merrill April 13, 2014 at 1:30 AM Hi Jan, who lives in a place I've never heard of. What happened, were you banished there, or what? Kidding. I'm sure it's lovely. I see you've got the Europian spelling of favorites. And it's restaurant, theatre, and so on. Same in Australia, given their strong British background. Btw, you're only the second person to add me to their fav list--or that I know of. Thank you!!!! Luv, Mel :)

Selena Hernandez April 11, 2014 at 10:16 AM Great poem. I love this. Mel Merrill April 12, 2014 at 12:19 AM Thank you again, Selena. I want you to know that I value your visits and your poems. You and both know loneliness and pain--which makes us better poets, or so I think. C-ya soon. Love and hugs, mel :)

Casarah Nance April 10, 2014 at 6:06 AM Again.. awesome, reading your poems have made my morning coffee more enjoyable. I am really looking forward to more. Mel Merrill April 10, 2014 at 7:19 AM Glad I met you, Casarah. You say the nicest things--Damn, I might open a Starbucks with my poems hanging on the walls. Lots of poems coming your way. Maybe I'll dedicate one to you, my newest, bestest friend. Enjoy that coffee. Hugs // mel

Kim Merryman April 7, 2014 at 4:36 PM This poem flows so smoothly. It was a pleasure to read, Mel! Love, Kim Mel Merrill April 7, 2014 at 5:40 PM Thank you Kim, and I appreciate the comment. Rhyming--which I tend to do--is a risky business. If forced, the poem wont flow smoothly. So, to me, your comment is high praise--and most welcome. Thank you again, Kim. Love ya back, Mel
