Isolation

Isolation Silence My old foe. It stalks me with its unforgiving glare. I hide in the wooden harness, Someone solemn. Courage My distant memory. It taunts me with its sinister whisper. I gaze beyond the point of no return, Somewhere solemn. Freedom My vanishing treasure. It vacates me with its harrowing loathing. I fight off the urge to let go, Something solemn. Solace. Something forgotten. It holds my fate in its callous clutch. I plummet through the timber prison. Numb.

Rob,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
