The Lonely And Me Poem by Kevin East

Hold yourself tighly through the night
And await the rescue of sweet daylight.
Tears that your soul have cried
Wait in the corridor of suicide.
On your window sill lie remnants of a thrill
Fallen from a moon that smiled
On our love
- Vagrant wind lent to ocean child.
A brief licence to be free.
Born on lost promise in the wild,
Dying in captivity.
Caged - the lonely and me.
On a balcony
Your hand in the night
Reached out for me.
And our dreams ascended a moonlit sea
- To call like a harp on the breeze.
To fall, on sword sharp to my knees.
But not expire in fever for she.
Left in eternity-abandoned
The lonely and me.
Through the music of memory
I taste escaping kiss
- One butterfly the net did miss.
Soft touch that was meant for me
Stolen in the fire of a flaming heart.
Lost in the choir when I felt the dart
That dropped me at her feet.
A tragedy complete.
Humming an unfinished symphony
Strumming the chords of infinity
Alone
By a phone
The lonely and me.
