Edge of Loneliness


From the shores of past residue
I cast my spirit out to sea
my dreams are shipwrecked in sorrow
in the defeaning silence of vacancy
~
The violent, velvet sky of stale
envelops my sails in failure's gray
the sands of time void my existence
life's waves wash my footprints away
~
No messages in a bottle reaching heaven
flooding my heart with tides of tears
tossed over the edge of loneliness
I drown in the ocean of wasted years
~
Screams shiver with the bleeding horizon
as I purge my pain in isolated grief
salvation will never be mine
even death won't bring me relief

By Melissa P. Monette

*inspired by Mysteria's poem*




"Poetry is not an opinion expressed...
it is a song that rises from a bleeding
wound...or a smiling mouth"

~Kahlil Gibran~

Wow!  It just shows I have been away!  Hon - how your writing has improved!!  This had great imagery - the workx!!!
Also seems to me I'm not the only one 'shining'.

Melissa, you are a wonder. Every time I read you I discover you again. Don't ever stop that wonderful pen.
