Empty Handed
(Sonnet of Sorrow #1)

My empty hand awaits in chronic form
to feel accepting fingers' tenderness.
The warmth within is waning in the storm,
and patience turns to fear I can't suppress.
The waves of opportunity have ebbed,
at least to me it seems to be that way.
The barren palm of hope is always webbed,
with loneliness its only catch each day.
The desperation of the outstretched hand
parades a bleeding heart for all to see.
And even though my mind can't understand,
a loveless life is my reality.
With well of hope now dry, I feel composed.
No tears are left to cry as hand is closed.
