Alone
A flurry of poems erupted out of me in 1999 when I began to tear myself away
from the rave and drug culture that I was a part of. This is one of
the poems written during that time.

Alone
When the night’s
slowly faded to pale gray morning
And the tired soul that breaks my heart is gone
I stand on the edge by rocky cliffs of sadness
Still hoping for the light of summer’s dawn
But there’s no brilliant sun on this new solemn day
There’s no shining light to bring me through
And so I muster all the strength I have, with nothing to say
Take a step, and do what I must do
There’s a space deep within the depths of my soul
A place where no one has explored
And in this space where time itself is somehow turned away
I must learn to turn my face and be adored
I must learn to love myself and none before
Only then can I open future’s door.
Each relived experience brings a pain I can’t remiss
Brings reminders of the days when I was young
And I try with confidence, to renew this second chance
Before its lost in some forgotten guess
Will you take me for a ride, down some quiet winding road
Will you roll the windows down for just a while?
There is peace when I’m with you,
peace that I can’t find with two
And there’s hope in each returning turning mile
Today I make you my very best of friends
With a promise to listen to your heart
For although alone, I am with you, and you are within me
Let me make this the last of brand new starts
Let me show myself the beauty of my art |
