Loneliness

Darkness fulfils me,
Like an angry cloud, 
Succumbs the sky,
Capturing any glimpse of light. 

Knotty breath,
As wind against a rock,
Gently caresses the surface,
Barely enough to endure, 
Life's ever existence.

Serenity flares, 
Like an eternal flame,
Longing to shatter,
And sharpen the senses,
Imprison your words. 

Empty spoilt hole,
Yearning desire,
A warm embrace,
Resuscitation.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
