Man of Sorrow

A gruff antediluvian man sits in sorrow
health draining slowly like a withering grass lawn
glory of past fantasies full of opulent luck
nothing but pages on the worn books of life
a false poem that was never a reality in truth
now another holiday spent in solace at low tide
cursed from martinet style of parenting
an outcast family deterrent in hiding
no love to accentuate his frail spirit
as he sits alone with past regrets.

The Soul Waits

From an empty house
in an empty room
a soul waits
for someone

A hollow spirit
an unholy ghost
a soul waits
for someone

Loneliness felt
as cold as ice
a soul waits
for someone

Your warmth desired
but never felt
a soul waits
for someone

Perhaps some day
we’ll find a way
a soul waits
for someone
