Reflections of My Perceptions

lonely

you would not believe how lonely i am

as lonely as the beach has grains of sands

burning within, its flames are fanned

by memories of love's escaping my hands

not a shred of hope, not even a strand

my soul is in drought, my love's flow is dammed

thus my life is hell, i bear misery's brand

and this is but the echo of a hollow, lonely man
