Lonely

At times the person within me feels all alone the nomad within me I try to keep happy and joys within full blown Far away from a place called home, With purpose and goals but without love and alone Fly by night, fly by day up and down the country I travel all the way Peeking outside my oral window blueness always with patches of white glow My eyes capture dark clouds White clouds, shapeless clouds Till a time the sky reflects and my eyes illume with lights deflect As time passes And places I cover each day Things I imagined and thought I knew Are far from true and to me become clear. And in these small things that keep changing I encapsulate myself From the outside I whither my thoughts to new dimensions I shiver in my skins and shed the oil ones I quiver within my heart out flows the rust From ashes to ashes dust to dust

The theme of this poem seems to be very jumbled. I'm sure you have some interesting similes here, but most readers don't want to take the time to ferret them out. The piece deserves to be reworked!
