I stand alone on a distant shore
I have a boat,
But I have no oar.
The vessel exists,
But the propulsion does not.
On this island I sit,
On this island I rot!
This isle is known
As the Land of Alone
And alone I am
In this tropical land.
Poe’s “Silence: A Fable” comes to mind
As I widdle away the time
in this lonely isle of moan
Known only as Alone.
I hear no wave crash
On the surf beaten shore
And sound itself,
In my mind, is nomore.
Not a blade of grass waves,
Not a tree bends it’s limb,
In this lonely isle of moan
Known only as Alone.
A land stark and bleak,
Grey and cold.
I shall sit here alone
As I grow old.
With no one to care
With no one to hold
In this lonely isle of moan,
The terrible Land of Alone.
Would you be loved? Let it happen.
Don’t run away like so often before.
Stand fast, and open that door.
The past is not the future nor the present.
Live for the day and the morrow.
Dwell not upon your sorrow.
Would you be loved? Let it happen.
Feel, grasp it, with all your might.
Don’t deny it, don’t fight.
Be who you are, not who you’re not.
Life is joy amidst suffering and pain.
Don’t be afraid to let love and hope reign.
Would you be loved? Let it happen.
Escape from your seclusion,
Abandon your illusions.
Just let it happen.
Tenderness
Caring
A warm embrace
Desire
Passion
A burning flame
Beauty
Charm
A woman’s grace
Hope
Love
A sweet surrender
Longing
A Fire crackles in the night,
Filling my soul with a yellow light.
It’s warmth has melted
My icy heart,
And it’s let love
Take a new start.
Love’s root begins to grow
In that false spring.
Roots which will someday grow
To be a tree,
From whence many a leaf
Of passion shall spring.
The perfumed air wafts to my nose
Stirring me to life from my head to my toes.
Drawing forth memories of a love passed by,
That start ill starred, I know not why.
The memories that that air brings
Are both of happy, and sad things,
Of times gone by, you and I,
Together beneath the bright blue sky.
Through the good times and the bad
You were the only constant I had.
You brought me hope. You brought me light.
You saved me from my life’s empty night.
Now I have no one to hold.
Let us go!
Let us go!
So my people say.
Let us go!
Let us go!
We seek the sun and rain.
Let us go!
Let us go!
To be free from the pain.
Let us go!
Let us go!
Even if to search in vain.
Let us go!
Let us go!
To seek the sun and rain!
