midnight insight Anacreontic Verse

midnight beckons I don't count down just sit quite still for fear I'll drown inside my eyes are memories that's where you live where life's a breeze to take me back I close them tight I'm there with you the sun shines bright with extra thought your hand's in mine no distractions I'm feeling fine but I have cause to wake and see you are not here I'm not carefree just set adrift so all alone an empty hand a soul unknown new year comes in in through my door with the cold fact I'm loved no more

Ahh I'd held out hope you'd label me a genius again as you did with the first one I did (albeit accidentally) - you win some, you lose some haha

Oh, but you are loved. Drifting can be a good thing, keeps you able to call yourself ‘free range.‘ lol and congratulations on potd, Dilly.

If I read this poem to my younger brother, he would feel the emotions within, so deeply. *His heart is broken* I know he feels 'so alone," even though he's surrounded by family. Your words caress softly around me and my heart. This is sad and tender, all at the same time. Congratulations Dilly, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

So true. My voice quivered a few times, but I was able to read this to my mother. (Her eyes misty, like mine.) I passed on reading it to my brother.

Congratulations on this well written poem, DD. It's very sad when a person reaches the point in their life where they feel the way you so poetically describe. I know from experience that a person can feel unloved, but their Creator is always there to pull them back into life. This is a great entry for the contest and well deserving of your POTD honor. Enjoy your special day of recognition, my friend. Bill

Congrats on POTD! I feel like the poem gets lonelier and lonelier as it goes on. The ending ("with the cold fact/I'm loved no more") is jarring. Yet the poem is also tender, even beautiful... A great write.
