Lonely on the land I walk, <br />Lonely cross the sea I sail, <br />Lonely air of beach I stroll - <br />This lonely life doth take its toll. <br /> <br />Lonely trek of woodland trail, <br />Lonely mist in haze o' dawn, <br />Lonely spies the bird of prey <br />In lonely circles all astray. <br /> <br />Lonely be the dark of night <br />When sleep is but a yearning wish, <br />To dream of sweet companions close, <br />As wine would pair with diner's dish. <br /> <br />Lonely do these thoughts I make <br />That draw my blood of precious life; <br />Replace with stream of flowing pain <br />To bless my veins with coursing strife. <br /> <br />Lonely years are now my friends, <br />Lonely cries bereft of sound, <br />Lonely tears that cool my face <br />In lonely life of sullen pace. <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright © Mark R Slaughter 2009 <br />All rights reserved <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely life <br />lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely life <br />lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely life<br /><br />Mark R Slaughter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lonely-life-4/
