I Walk Alone Poem by Maylynn Hughes

I sit in the loud silence,
of my room in complete isolation
From all that I love,
all that I need, taking into consideration

I find my heart aches from
the hollowness of it's chambers
Longing for those I share my soul with,
as my mind remembers

The nostalgia of many hundred years
replayed over and over again
the emotions sweep over me and I
fall into tears, I ascend...

Into the black, out of the pure crystal blue
similar to the abyss, in many shades and hues.

I get lost in the corridors of my
complex mind,
It's like a maze with several portals
of windows and doors I find

Some locked tight - not allowing me to enter
Some open with a thought - flaying me asunder...

The sound of silence is profound
and the echoes of loneliness crown
the edges that are steep and sharp
the curves are few and darkly stark.

As barren as the desert in July
I again cry aloud "but why? "

I have been on this journey a very long time,
I have always seemed to walk it alone in rhyme...
