THE LONELY LOVEA Poem by E.P. RoblesThe verses resonate with a profound sense of weariness and longing for respite, painted through a vivid portrayal of a desolate existence. The poet's words carry the weight of a world burdened by variWearied, I long for respite, for an end, As I behold a soul, forsaken, with naught, A beggar born in desolation's grip, And poverty masked in hollow revelry, And purest faith, alas! betrayed by fate, And honor, once adorned, now misplaced, And virtue, defiled, by crude seduction, And perfection, wronged, in grievous disgrace, And strength, ensnared, by feeble governance, And art, muzzled, by the chains of authority, And wisdom, humbled, by folly's reign, And truth, misunderstood, in simple guise, And captive goodness, bound to cruel masters: Wearied by these trials, I seek release, Yet, to depart, I leave my love alone. :: 06.27.2023 ::
