Destined Lonely

Here I remain where my destiny pointed Followed the path with a twist at each turn Long was the road that appeared ever changing After these years you would think I could learn Safe in her arms feeling nothing could hurt me Fingers entwined and her lips made of fire Maple leaf dreams should have lasted forever All that I wanted, my every desire Open doors closed with their locks tightly bolted Windows reflecting each shadow I see Pulled a direction no fighting could waiver Darkness converged on the image of me Listening to echoes of words never spoken All by myself on a wall made of stone Hoping my tears are enough now to drown me It had to be, I am destined alone

I HAVE MISSED UR TALENT. My laptop was 'killed' 3-17 by hijackers, my Soup world darkened until 11-17 when I returned. Was bummed not to see u on New Poems list. When I did spy u somewhere, I did not know where to begin what I'm fumbling thru now. Trying to say, I couldn't just 'drive-by' read u, not 1 of my fav writers, no, I have need to say more whether I say it badly or mediocre. So, Hi, missed reading you, so glad u did not leave, and, well, that's my starting place as box kicks me out

Destined to be alone? Pfffttt! I dont think so, Chris. Anyways...This is such a beautifully penned melancholy write. I especially love the words "maple leaf dreams" and "darkness converged on the image of me" Fabulous lines. A great write!

Hi Chris, It's so good to see you posting again. You've penned a well written yet sad write. You have a good heart and I don't believe you are "destined" to be alone- Alexis
