I stand alone in silent observation as Music plays Children run Couples dance Everyone laughs Except me I walk alone in silent contemplation as Music mocks Children circle Couples hug Everyone smiles Except me I sit alone in silent tears as Music ends Children sleep Couples kiss Everyone leaves Except me Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil.

Alienation from the world can cause such pain within...very sad words here, but written extremely well. I enjoyed this greatly.  *Krista Knutson* "You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back." -Barbara DeAngelis |

Tears trickle down my cheeks as I watch Jamie's solitude of silence. Take my hand and dance with the devil in the moonlight. <**> |

What strikes me most about this poem is the form in which it's written. The theme of isolation is clearly expressed, not only by the content (which is poignant and yes, sad) but also by the form you've chosen for this piece. What an insightful choice. I admire your skill, and understand fully the feelings within it. Take care ~ ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
