Am I doomed to be a nomad
In a land of settlers?
Am I doomed to wander
Aimlessly,
Watching others have direction?

It seems I am destined for a
Solitary destiny.
And Fate just laughs at me.
This knowledge is slowly
Sinking in,
And now the question I pose
Is this:

Do I accept the solitude and
Castle built for one,
Or fight it all until
My last breath drawn?

I could win many battles,
But fear the war has long been lost.


*****kynder


Across the gateway of my heart,
I wrote "No Thoroughfare!!"
But love came laughing by and
Cried "I enter everywhere!!!"

Oh Kynder We march to the beat of different
Drummers.
We All have our Battles
We all have our wars
Lonliness captures alot of us
But I think you will win the war and continue on never give up !!!!
I know lonliness traps me alot and I have to fight it.
I relate to so much of your work
You are so talented.
And so feeling I think only people with deep emotions can write like this
You are great!
Keep it uP

HELL NO, you should not accept the castle for one. We all deserve a castle for two. Keep fighting. Fight on till the end. I will if you will

I know that feeling too. And though I'm prone to taking the easy option myself (not bothering) I know it's better to fight! Great imagery, great poem. As always!

The real tragedy would be to give in.
Beautiful, well written and thoughtful poem.


Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil.
"Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely".
