Enter the Silence

A cold and sullen loneliness
distresses my heart
and torments my soul.
Like the icy winter winds
of a raging mountain storm
which ravages
all encountered.
Free will and emotion
lie frozen
in devastation.
All meaning is lost
without
explanation.

Waiting for the spring thaw
that has yet to come.
A flower's fragrance.
The kiss of the warmth of the sun.
These things elude me.

Who will ever touch me
in the morning again?
Is love gone forever?

And must I sell all values to succeed?
Must I become one to whom words are
merely token, which bear no meaning
other than to mask their greed
and hide their deception?

And who can I turn to
when there is no one there
but me?
