Alone Poem by Valerie Dohren
Alone
A single rose with thorny stem
On mother nature`s tattered hem
Which no-one cares to steal away
So left to wither and decay
And just one tear-dropp on the hand
Brushed upon the dusty sand
To be consumed into the earth
As one which has no lasting worth
There stands alone a single tree
No leaf upon it you will see
Beneath it grows no bush or flower
Empty, barren, silent bower
A lonely candle burning bright
Extinguished rudely in the night
Leaving shadows set behind
The shuttered windows in the mind
To tread a path that leads nowhere
(None to love, none to care)
A battered old grandfather clock
Marking time - tick tock, tick tock
A single petal on the bloom
A single chair, an empty room
A place of silent solitude
A place with loneliness imbued
I see a monolith of stone
A vision of the one - alone
A single soul alone to cry
A single soul alone to die
An excellent write, Valerie. The last parts pierce right into my heart. I think this is your second or third poem I am reading and I love your style of writing. Comes somewhere deep within, very personal and very touching. Thank you.... Ayman
Very simple yet very moving. Touched my heart and soul. Recently had bunch of surgery, was in a coma, on life support, the doc saved my life because everyone was praying for me. This poem reminded me that afterwards I was thinking about my own death and my family. I was alone in my thoughts, crying for them, because I could see in my mind, their grief if I hadn't made it, and it really got to me. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn

I salute to you for this exquisite piece of poetry though emanating out of a personal tragedy. Loneliness engulfs the sensibilities of a reader. I can understand your position. Thanks.
