The Quagmire of Solitude

The crepuscular sky is an eerie pink. It reminds me of my dire situation. Here I am in the quagmire of solitude. How does it feel to be stuck without a love? I just want to rise and leave the world behind. Lonely moments feel like an eternity when there is no apparent end for my woes. Another sun is about to set on me. It is casting a pink hue on nimbus clouds. Soon, I shall be shrouded in opaque darkness. How long do I have to wait for the day’s light? Let me see the dark solitude pass quickly.

Good poem depicting a somber spirit. Good descriptions and ideas. Solitude and loneliness go hand in hand. Thanks for your comments about the Historic Creature from Jurassic Park. I had fun with that one.

Hi Robert! Solitude can be a lonely place, and "moments feel like an eternity". Great imagery painting a lonely scene. Wishing you and yours, the best!! Mikki
