Loneliness feels like the grey sky
It feels empty and cold
It feels vast and unforgiving
Loneliness feels like nothing and everything at the same time
It feels heavy and yet I feel like I could float away
A drifter in a sea of tepid waters
Float on little drifter, find your way
Out into the big blue – I know you’ll be okay
Love feels like ice and chains
Love feels impossible
Love feels like a safe haven
Until it’s not
Loneliness sinks in again
Surrounding and drowing
Gasping for air
Let me live again – I want to live where the Love lives.
Inside my own heart
There is Love
A force unreckonable and wise beyond all hell
A force so strong
She will never let me sink
She will always keep me afloat
Even if it feels like I’m on the brink
My own weary heart,
Weary of love but still a believer
Never lose sight
Never stop trusting
Loneliness feels like hope
Hope that I am still here
Existing , feeling this
Moving though this
One day at a time
Searching for moments of peace and knowing
Knowing my own heart
Scars, fractures and all
I love my heart
She is strong
She is capable
She is boundless
She searches for the purest and deepest Love
The Love She can give Herself.
Such a beautiful capturing/rendering of this World at both ends! I appreciate the poem’s wave from despair to belief and like this line especially – so paradoxical but true – “Loneliness feels like hope.” I feel this ‘heart that you know’ – such a gift! – and the ‘boundlessness’ of it – like the ocean. No end to Your love or love ever… One of Your best.
Beautiful.

Also… an interesting choice of words, “There is love. A force unreckonable and wise beyond all hell” – Hel is the powerful Norse Goddess of the Underworld. She is associated with the Wolf and the Serpent. So Your Love, indeed, is a force that one cannot reckon with. Powerful writing.
