Lonliness

[Grundel70]

Deep shadows in the recess of my mind
I am trapped, helpless, and alone
There is no escape

Familiar sounds no longer recognized
Laughter, joy, and love
Echoes of the past

Family and friends now haunt my dreams
Only as ghosts, fleeting apparitions
They exist no more

Life to be lived, joyful in the sun
I watch from a distance
Unreachable

I am wanted, needed and loved!
Arms reach to hold me
Only in my dreams

It says so much.


Maybe I can help with the ghosts and apparitions.

Very excellent poetry. You should consider doing what I did and posting your poetry online. It would be beautiful. There's a free website called poetry.com. It's a great way to get your poetry published into anthologies. Please, continue to write and inspire.

poetry.com is a scam. they take everyone's poems, no matter how good or bad, and then try to scam them into paying money.
