Isolation
Is
This

A small crab
Washed up on a high rock
The midday sun raining down upon his back

An earthworm
The steel hook already a part of him
Dangling in his watery grave
Waiting for a fish

A guiltless man
The noose tight around his neck
The trap door creaking beneath his feet

A newborn baby
Fighting for his first breath
In the arms of his starving mother

Me without you

I have no air
I have no blood
I have no voice
I have no mind
I have no touch
I have no reason
I have no feeling
I have no will
My body has no soul

This
Is
Isolation

This is very good Jon.  Evokes a lot of emotion.  Gave me the chills too.

Please don't stay isolated to long
your deep poetry sings like a song
in a world far away you slow dance
your words into form for our glance
Talent rides you away into a sphere
where you write so well for us here
to delightfully emote us with words
flutter and flying like graceful birds

Thanx everybody for your comments.

Thankyou dreamer for your wonderful verse.

Luckily this was only a moment
But all of these moments will be lost in time
Like tears' in the rain.

Very powerful.  Definately is very spine-chilling and well written.
