I sit this night
spellbound...
I feel such resolution
So many things
uncertain
though thoughts filled with constitution
Am I mad?
Am I sane?
Will I ever love again??
Can one be so desolate
and yet feel vigor just the same?
Pressing powers of the mind
or is it just a foolish game?
The angst not yet rescinded

Read the rest of the poem Show less

and this chapters almost ended...
Will the longing ever wean?
Or the light again be seen?
Holding out for something more
Seeking truth from what's in store...

"Very expressive, I believe many will identify with the feelings that you express. I have had these feelings on a number of occasions and have been let down and deceived. Eventually you will bounce back. Barry"

"Enjoyed the rhythm (I am really big on that). My interpretation- a dipiction of your gratitude for much kindness shown. Adoration poems are rare for me, so I genuinely appreciate one of merit."
