A dark heart

The heart wakes
below the boards
under the stairs
a body stirs around it
a temple in transience
It beats and reaches
out to all and self
without a soul to find
endless hope drives it on
endlessly braving to find
another soul so alike
but there is none to find
a heart alone under there
on it's own trapped in air
It has found itself
So totally alone
By itself in all things
Be One Alone

So it ends

The very deep did rot: O Christ!
That ever this should be!
Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs
Upon the slimy sea.

Excellent portrayal! A heart alone - "without a soul to find" - this is true loneness....gives one shivers.

Ah, a nicely drawn out moment of aloneness, quite well done. I could feel the heartache.
