Lone Wolf

  

Twilight cries fall on deaf ears

       As the wolf’s howl becomes his biggest fear

Echoes through the empty mountains

       Tell of pains he’s bestowed on loved ones

Mostly from accident, some by pride

       The pack now doesn’t stand by his side

Caring for everyone he cares about

       Has given the impression he’s a wild child

When what he wants is happiness

       For anyone he calls family and friends

 

And some how find the one that will make him

A lone wolf no more.

a great poem. love the metaphor of this wolf, mostly associated with being a strong, fierce creature, being lonely, sad.
"Tell of pains he's bestowed on loved ones
Mostly from accident, some by pride
The pack now doesn't stand by his side
Caring for everyone he cares about
Has given the impression he's a wild child" o i can relate to this poem so much. i love the last 2 lines as well, this lone wolf, not giving up hope, but still searching for someone to stop his loneliness. a beautiful, haunting, dark write.

This is beautiful Dale. The wolf is no longer alone, for sure. As we adrore your writings, and your powerful spirit on the cafe.
Great metaphors here again. Within a little coat of whimsical bliss.

i like it, it's a bit more...melancholy than what we usually see from you. but the hope you let peek through brings all back to quintessential you! Wonderful write and a joy to read sir!

Amazing poem. So full of the devotion for the ones you care. A wolf is a very revered creature full of loyalty. Very great piece.

Such a vulnerability is this poem....yes, seems many of us give off signals that aren't really who we are deep down. You've captured that here.

The cry of the lone wolf is haunting.........I always felt like it was a cry for his soulmate.

Great write, Cowboy.

Very great flow.. lonliness is a very sad thing.. you can feel lonely being around people who don't understand you.. I am different than most.. I have a hard time sometimes expressing myself correctly.. I am passionate but sometimes misunderstood.. this poem reminds me that it is also me that causes my loneliness.. I don't know if I am a wolf as I am actually gentle.. but all my life I have pretty much felt alone.. even some of my family have turned their backs on me.. not understanding.. they cut me up behind my back.. said very mean things.. it hurts to be a lone wolf.. when others do not feel what I feel.. I feel things deeply which sometimes does not come across right... thank you so much for sharing this.. it makes me feel good that their are others out there that feel like I do! =)
