Loneliness

Loneliness engulfs him consumes him like an arsons match he ignites the bond setting their relationship ablaze now...that foundation simply reduced to a pile of ash in a distant haze Loneliness entangles him weaves thru him like diseased roots of an aging tree they wrap around his feelings squeeze out emotion and eventually choke the life out of his reality Loneliness is his soulmate now... and for all the years joined together by selfishness and fate at the expence of someone else's tears now, as the years drip away and quietly disappear they leave no trace but landing ever so gently and all to clearly upon his lonely artificial face though it's not by choice that this partnership remains but as a cruel reminder of a love lost and a heart tragically stained...

You second stanza really blew me away, there was some great images and word use here! A well crafted and penned poem. This is definitely going into my faves. Deep emotions in here, off to read some more. Hope you Halloween was well. --Madison Thomer

and do not think I am a great poetic, ah, no, I am meerly possessed and consumed and time after time I fail here, deepth and intricacy, and truth are seldom easy to hear and less often commented on, and even less often cherished, but it is you who are too kind to say, you do hear me & that to means alot. Light & Love
