but behind me dwell those who truly touch the heart.
They are the poets, not I.

In June I sought the desert phlox
That I might smell its homesome musk
It quivered like the desert fox
Foraging in the lonesome dusk.

Lonesome in her home,
Emters  a world of crystal sparkles,
Encircles a world of silvery streams,
Perhaps to dream.

Existence

and fortune never let preclude,
to disrupt this butterfly effect,
then, in this world I'd not bedeck.

thoughts of bitter things
Solitude smothers
empty broken vows
Is it love that I have known
Lonesome nightingales sing

We are alone..

A hard pill to swallow

Perhaps..yet

Alone..ends the lonesome

Separation which will not

Heal without that pill...

The patience of the lonesome Fisherman, 
Waiting to catch Tommy Trout.

Tommy’s not in, he’s gone out!

R U Lonesome Tonight

When Elvis looked like a balloon 
It seemed he would pop very soon
He took many pills
To conquer his ills
But the "cure" extinguished his croon

Your loneliness is revolting 
Trapped in your abyssal concept
Them lonesome eyes glassy with illusion 
Mind full with the dim shimmer of reality

A turkey flew up to a branch
Invited to lunch
It pooped on the bunch
But it learned not to mess with Blanche!

Premium Member A Liar’s Living - Mar 4

The luckless leper’s lousily lobbing
Lame libel at Lords and Ladies along
His lonesome lane, a lizard in limbo
Loafing on his lowly laurels, laughing.

Premium Member Wolfs Lament

a forlorn howl
his mate is lost or gone
he is lonesome tonight
she cannot be replaced
the way of wolves
his lament is sad
the moon cries silent tears

Friendship

Ancient barn …
Weathered
Age’s ashen grey
Old friends, long gone…
Except rusted nails
Lonesome ally
Against the wind
This friendship can't be swayed

If wishes had the strength of will, 

I think I'd not be lonesome, still.

If longing could give flight to wing,

my tethered heart would soar and sing.

Lonesome Journey

Up the long and winding road 
With a sorrow for my load 
A mother's breath, could be her last 
Hoping to make it there fast
