'Alone! ' I cried again. <br />'Alone I am with me! <br />Lonely in a world of mist <br />Alone, I reach to touch your wrist <br />And see if I am thee.’ <br /> <br />To be alone beside a soul <br />Afloat, adrift; an empty ghoul <br />Alone in woe; the yearning flesh <br />To fill a thin, contorted mesh <br />Diffuse atop an icy floor, alone. <br /> <br />So much alone in fact, I lack <br />The tonal vibrancy of life: <br /> <br />I am a song without a tune <br />alone; <br />A greying sky in June <br />alone; <br /> <br />The blueness of a sullen moon <br /> – waning in a starless night– <br />alone; <br /> <br />Coasting down a weedy pass <br />alone; <br />The only image in the glass <br />alone; <br /> <br />To meet a certain heavy fate <br />– to turn and shut the knurly gate– <br /> <br />…alone. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright © Mark R Slaughter 2009 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />alone alone alone alone <br />alone alone alone alone <br />alone alone alone alone <br />alone alone alone alone <br /> <br />alone alone alone alone<br /><br />Mark R Slaughter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alone-i-cried/
