I lie alone

******************

I lie alone. I wait for thee

and in this darkened hour

I call to mind the quiet times

that sheltered me in towers.

 

Providing for my every need,

this solitude is fair

to hold onto each thought it gives

to me. The time I share.

 

Thoughts like a child that runs away

at moments when I call

yet when I turn to leave they will

come scrambling down the halls

 

within my mind. Still cluttered now,

yes, after all these years.

The piles of thoughts and memories,

the happiness and tears.

 

And like a child the words will burst

onto the pure white page

and so each sheet is ruined by

the babblings of the age.

 

 

 

This was written at about 02:00am while I was waiting for news that my team had won the F A Cup (soccer)... Of course, they did win! YAY!!!! :D :woot: :woot:

Gratz on the win...

 

I don't know though, for me, I had trouble hearing the meter in my mind as I recited it, and some of the line breaks didn't seem to fit.

 

But then, it could just be me. Reading it aloud, what do you think?
