The Wildest Loneliness

Sometimes, it seems that everything
my heart keeps as truth
I take with me
and lock deep inside of I am sorry
as I breathe the air twisted in the places
where I sleep.
Yet, there still exist nights
where there is no bed I can dream in
where I do not hear a melody
that feels naturally sweet.

Often, I stand in the corner
of all I have missed
then find myself walking proudly
beside the wildest loneliness
lying deep inside of
my stubborn heart.
Then suddenly,
my head clears inside of a silence
and I write poems
from the hands of angels
until the wildest loneliness
has to part.

I've read this several times without knowing how to comment on it. I think mostly because I am a thinker, and this piece goes beyond just thoughts. The imagery and emotions invoked by the words are more important here (IMO) then what the words actually say.

You invoke feelings and images through the words and I have trouble expressing how well you've done with it because I can not use my head to describe my reactions.

I can only say that from where I stand, this piece, accidental or not, has a real genius touch to it.

Exquisite , poignant write of the things that passed us by due to circumstances . In the quiet of the night the loneliness endured, writing becomes the refuge.

[Kaylor Mason]

I fully relate to this. Loneliness is a staple of my life.

Sometimes we have to simply allow ourselves that time of stubbornness to sit within ourselves to come out flying and punching with our creative flow.. I'm not saying it's fun...but it serves that purpose. A time of quiet contemplation before we merge thought to pen.. I love this Neva...xo

A whirling mass of emotion and beauty, a perfect summer read.

I love the ending so much. It reminds me of inspiration. I sit down and begin writing and then when I write my last line I know it is done, but this is not about me. I adore the tenderness written between the lines. Well done! :)

That is certainly a wonderful way of drawing out of loneliness and separation from the beauty and love in life. When society and life isolates you, it is good to have a rejuvenating source like poetry to come back to.

Great poem! Maybe one day I'll be able to impress you with my writing as you have done so to me with yours.
