Song of Solitude

As Light falls, and

Darkness diffuses into nightly space,

I have not - 

a home to go;

a heart to caress;

or a Soul to Mind

But,I have a poem to write;

a canvas to paint;

a glass to fill;

a song to sing; and 

a dream to nurture

I free the longing words;

throw the chaotic colours;

sing in wilderness;

raise the glass

Of sour fluid

to Night's glory;

meditating on my Dreams

In distorted dizziness,

yielding to vices,

I wander,

in loneliness, singing

the song of Solitude
