I Walk Alone

Here, as I wander Many roads, many paths All one shall see Is I walk alone She appeared, like a dream Like the mist of night Or the fog of morning light But I swear she was there I reached to touch The sweet taste of what was I longed for the past Yesterday, when dreams were dreams I could smell the fragrance The smell of morning lily’s One could taste even the air And feel the suns grasp of the day Such desires burn deep Within our souls, should one believe Or so I have been told As a withering candle, my desires have faded Tears, oh the tears have faded The heart grows, only in the desires for thing past And yet the heart, sands of time, becomes a desert The music still plays, and I still walk alone

Arthur I had to read your first poem. As a teenager you had it in you, to write. I think its a gift you were born with. Miss you not being here often. I have more to read and enjoy. Hope you are well my friend...

Thank you, I actually wrote this one as a teenager, so thought it fitting to be the first poem I posted!

I adore this style, short lines and deep meaning. This line rang a bell in my mind, I wonder what does it mean for you? "Yesterday, when dreams were dreams" Thank you for being here!

Thank you for reading, and you know I am not so sure, often I write of moods where the meaning can shift with time, but when we are young we always seem to have such high hopes that life will be better!

arthur, I came to the very beginning and found this sad and wistful poem. I really like this one. It puts me in mind of the rock song called by the same name I think as your poem! There must be a lot of poems of y ours I have not seen on these back pages. Now I will start coming more often back here!

'...the sun's grasp of the day,' '...yet the heart...becomes a desert,' such emotional phrasing. Wistful, sorrowful, exceptional! Best wishes, Keith
