Condemned To Solitude Me and my thoughts, my darkness and rain, yes those dull days came to haunt me again, dreams of good faith, flushed down by my side hopes for good times cry aloud while I stride. Someone have mercy on my ill fated self. Someone please read me from my old dust filled shelf. Why was it me and why's it still there, the haunting of solitude, the darkness is here. I feel I am loosing my talent to love, my shiver's keep aching, my dreams far above. But when I wake up, and my clouds disappear, the dull shadows haunt me, they're felt, they appear. So cruel this solitude, so lonely this night, I'm losing my vigour, to sit up and fight. Please find me somebody with whom I can share, before I fall down in the dungeons of despair. © June 1996 Michelax |

Never have I read a poem that i have been so in tune with. I cant even begin to describe the feelings and emotion you brought to me while reading your poem. I admire you greatly for the talent and the joy that you brought to me Blessed Be, Beth |

Welcome to Passions, nicely writ my friend. "Someone please read me from my old dust filled shelf" Nicely done, indeed. Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. JP "Everything is your own damn fault, if you are any good." E. Hemmingway |

So cruel this solitude, so lonely this night, I'm losing my vigour, to sit up and fight. Please find me somebody with whom I can share, before I fall down in the dungeons of despair. MIchael I can certainly relate to this one. Welcome to Passions, a great entrance. I look forward to more from you. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |
