Hello Lonesome

A longing for a belonging that isn’t quite there
A home unseen
Forgotten
Nowhere

A man who’s cut through my dreams
Surrendered my soul to his wings
And departed as quickly as he came

Ugly insides, hidden in the dark
Shriveled up in shame

Raw materials turn in circles on a blank page

All written in invisible ink

For fear of a thought

A mindful being

Who just might think….
What I’m thinking

And yes I’m desperate,
Believably lonesome
For a closeness to that one
So tender
Sweet
Wholesome

Untainted
Un-tethered
By ghosts of an invisible past

The one I’ve accepted to love has gone by so fast,

Hello Lonesome,

Ours is a relationship that lasts.

I can relate to this, as we all can, beautiful poetry.

I read this a few days ago, and now that I have stumbled on it again it only makes me happier for the second read through. I like how you can put such a feeling that tears you apart into words that just flow perfectly together. Well done. -Heather-

As do I (look forward to more). This seems a bit more than just words written. An emotion was created on the page, AND it was quite fun to read.
