Alone, I walk the dark and endless corridors of my mind,
I feel your breath and sense your presence very close behind.
But turning only find the misty traces of a dream,
And down these empty hallways wail the echos of a scream.
I blindly search the darkened pathways deep within my heart,
And touch the blood where some cruel gob has thrown his poisondart.
I claw the stony ground until my hands bleed and I weep,
To find there only emptiness and secrets buried deep.
With saddened heart I hang my head for never will I hear,
You gently whisper secret things so softly in my ear.
I'll never feel your gentle touch slide slowly down my hips,
Or taste the sweetness of your skin upon my fevered lips.
My soul is filled with sorrow for a love that cannot be,
And clear blue eyes that gaze at me with love, I'll never see.
But deep within my loneliness, a hopeful heart still schemes,
And secretly I'll meet you down a lonely street of dreams.

Oh My God, this was great! i was sucked into the poem from the very first line, there was rhyming in it, but not sounding like the rhyme was forced, and it added to the poem and just made it so much better, I also liked the same same amount of syllables in every sentence, it was a very closed formed poem. it was wonderful i loved reading this. thank you so much for entering!

This is a brilliant song of sorrow ...
and you truly should go into song writing. However sad it is, I loved reading the emotion behind the words. Very well done!
Good luck in this contest.
Love
Myra
