Lonely Hearts

Somewhere within the midnight darkness hides, within the shadows of a moody moon, the notions love will be appearing soon; bleak thoughts that only lonely hearts confide. For it is true a lonely heart will yearn with longings for a tender love that’s real in hopes that they will somehow, someday feel that sweet caress that make the passions burn. As Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band once sang their songs of life and love and woe, a yearning heart, enslaved by life’s command, is destined to forever feel the blow, an emptiness of loveless life unplanned that only lonely hearts will ever know.

When a deep longing within tugs at the heart, it can create a sweet and tender ache. I understand your thoughts completely, John. This is beautiful and emotional, all at the same time. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Great rhymes as always John along with excellent meter. This puts me in mind a bit of my poem Labyrinth of loneliness. I like to think of loneliness as death on two legs. Sad state of affairs

Wow, death on two legs, never thought of it that way. For me it's more just a melancholy feeling but life goes on. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts.
