Somewhere in the vast wasteland

Island of my solitude

Looking at you, looking at me
Observing our inescapable desire
Vowed to never let you go
Every night I dream of you

On that fateful evening
No one had told me
Loving you could hurt so much
Yeilding to my fears, I left

Yearning for you
Of the love I lost
Until the end of my days


Ok.  This is my first shot at this type of thing.  I felt like experimenting tonight.


 If dying is the process of living life to its end.
Then what is living?

Free verse is hard to grasp at times...you did very well by it

Our emotions don't always make the right decisions ... especially when our emotions are mixed

Hoot- Thanx for the support.  Free verse isn't that hard for me but to write something based on the first letters of each line is something I haven't attempted before.


Rex- Wise words.  Thank you for the information.

PS. The first letters of each line are a line in themselves.

Scorched Dragon, I think this turned out very well! I've never written an acrostic piece either...perhaps I'll try my hand as well. Enjoyed this.

This is very clever writing. What do you mean you lack a title? I think it's obvious, don't you? -- "I Love Only You"

Also, try bolding the first letter of each line.

As you may know by now, I do not care to meddle in the affairs of dragons, but may i
respectfully suggest that your title is your first line?   I defer to your most excellent judgement, of course.

Serenity-  Thanks for the suggestion. And by the way, some dragons do know how to take a suggestion.

Nice!!  " I Love Only You!! Creative!! Yep, your writing does have a common thread!!< !signature-->

"Creation of woman from the rib of Man: She was not made from his head to top him; nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him; but out of his side
