Island

The edges of my world recede;
within myself I have no needs.
When I finally succeed…
from loneliness, my heart bleeds.

“Rescue me” I hear it plead.

    I found your interpretation of the prompt to be very interesting. I enjoyed it immensely. the last line is excellent
    “Rescue me” I hear it plead." so many times in life I've heard that, but there have been many times I've ignored it too.. or perhaps couldn't hear it..

    Good luck

    Can't fluff, man- I'm on house restriction! Couldn't have liked the write any more, though. End-rhyme stole it.

    Wow, this poem is wonderful! I love the deep meaning of it and that photo is just weird! But you made it come to live and be beautiful with only your words!

    Best of luck!

    “Rescue me” I hear it plead.

    ~ Sadly, when many of us are in this state we are too far gone to hear the near-faint voice within...

    Nicely done ~ different take of the same pic
