An Empty Place

Missing image

 

 

A life without love is an empty place

where seldom is seen a smiling face,

 

there hearts begin to shrivel and die

and blue gives way, to a dark grey sky.

 

Compassion and hope are things of the past,

laughter and mirth to the depths are cast.

 

Travel through life, unfeeling, unkind,

to forever sever the ties that bind,

 

alone and forlorn on a journey for one,

never feeling the magic, the joy, the fun.

 

Lonely is life with no love deep inside,

cold and detached, bitter tears to be cried.

 

A soul without hope only misery and hate

to end up alone, could this be your fate.

 

The touch of a lover, the kiss of a friend

will help ease the burden on the path to the end.

 

If you choose this life, please heed my thoughts

for love is not borrowed, begged for or bought.

    I love the graphic art. The entire presentation is excellent.

    In your second stanza opening line, the word should be "their" instead of "there". The rhyming couplets work well to share with the reader that it would be awful if there were no love in the world. An excellent work here poet.

    Thank you for this entry and the best to you.


    Much LOVE ♥

    Sad and very beautiful

    Wonderful deep writing from the heart. Sadness runs through this. The rhyme is wonderful.
