Somewhere in the vast wasteland

So, the night finds me again
Sleep deprives me of what I might gain
Walking along that dark desert highway
Night after night and yet so far away

The starless moonless night laughing
Endlessly at my current plight
My sanity, many are questioning
I laugh endlessly with delight

How do I even begin to explain
All that has happened is so arcane
My heart is still intact
Despite the way I did react

How do I get you to see
That without you I have nothing
Like a forest without a tree
Dragon flight without a wing

That fall I do remember
Threatening to self-ignite
Of that fire all but an ember
Into that fire, ever so bright

Pain has finally taken its toll
I have lost that control
No matter what can I do
All I want is to get back to you

To that place beyond all comprehension
Where our hearts were formed as one
To you I dare not mention
I wish I could do what needs to be undone

I want to learn to fly again
My heart to soar back into your domain
To find that ulimate peace
To return to that release

So, the night finds me again
Sleep deprives me of what I might gain
Walking along that dark desert highway
Night after night and yet so far away

Man that was tough.  To pull through all my baggage to beat this writer's block.  But after seven months I have done it.  I look forward to posting and writing more poetry.

White Wolf,

Wonderful images.  I am happy to see your beat that block.  Welcome back to the pack!

Such sad feelings I had as I read this..It's one of those "been there, done that" things..
Seems most of us have them..Hope your sadness passes soon..This was a great expression of how you feel..I liked it much..~LL~

I believe your muse has broken through the barrier.  Welcome to Passions!

WhiteWolf~
Congrats on breaking free ...

This line is a stunner -

'I wish I could do what needs to be undone'

Very well stated.

I know the feling White Wolf I go through these blocks quite often.  Glad you broke yours.  I know this feeling well. Well written.

Good to see you, I told Lone Wolf she wasn't alone, this proves it!!
