Notes About The Poem

Empty Room

In empty room, where shadows softly creep,
Loneliness resides, as a quiet guest. 
An empty nest, where memories now sleep, 
Of love once known, it is now laid to rest. 

A lover's touch, a fleeting, ghostly trace, 
Whispers through the silent, in vacant air. 
This room, a mirror of the heart's embrace, 
Reflects the void, a sorrow hard to bear. 

A candle's flame, so fragile, flickers low, 
Extinguished by a whisper of the wind. 
Yet in the dark, a seed of hope can grow, 
A spark of light, where once despair had thinned. 

For even in the depths of darkest night, 
Hope blooms anew, and turns to morning light.

An interesting poem about the loneliness of an empty room. It made me wonder if cobwebs are in the corners. Good luck with the contest.
