Forgotten Dove Poem by Tracy Scheepers

Forgotten Dove

Rating: 5.0


This dark day has dawned upon me
My heart's reaction remains a mystery
The secret of this turmoil still untold
During which I become dreary and old

A bird without feather unable to flock
Caught in this chamber, no key to this lock
My world silently shatters, no-one hears a sound
While my heart beats with a deafening pound!

This lonely soul is screaming out for love
It's a useless plight from this forgotten dove
Who forever shall walk this cold earth alone
Adapting to always being unknown

These feelings unwillingly self-imposed
By which this heart is completely engrossed
Acknowledgement needed before I grow cold
To prevent me becoming dreary and old.

Tracy anyone who writes like you do will soon find they are not alone. You are a part of the fellowship of poets who when they flock become an awesome spirit Welcome home dear poet I can hear my soul sing as you approach.---10

We can be alone, but yet not feel sad and lonely. If we learn to enjoy our own company, we will still need the flock, but can be happy by when alone. I like the way you write. Bob
