Isolatio Cordis

Isolation of the heart.....

Isolation's grip is chilling to the bone, 

I call out, 

not even Echo answer's back, 

deafening silence pieces through 

Empty light darkens a hopeful heart

where is love's warmth that felt like home

where are those kind words I was so used to 

I think of her 

does she think of me 

"I love you" is what she said 

I believed 

where are actions proof 

the tea leaves tell me nothing 

as she leaves me in silence 

My mind fills in the gaps 

my trouble spirit paints the picture 

on the edge os spiraling 

the edge of the pit 

the call of the void 

I sit pondering 

thinking 

lost 

sad 

"Dave, how is everything going?"

 a question snaps me out of panic 

"Great, I got no complaints" my retort, 

work is not the place to break down, 

Writerscafe is the place I will break down.....

I have heard romantic love likened to a drug. That may be accurate.

work is definitely not the place to breakdown. that's what i did and i got fired. anyway, that's in the past. i hope you find poetry is an effective outlet for you. i loved the lines: "I call out, not even Echo answer's back." and the final stanza that snaps into naturalism was very well done. it captures that moment where we are lost in our own thoughts, speaking in poetic ways, then suddenly someone comes and disrupts us. it's a clever work with a lot to like.

Good day Ern, I hope all has been well. Most of my writing is done at work, I have alot of down time, alot of thinking time, too much really, so I write, and write, and write.

my last job was too stressful. i think that was the other problem. hope you make it through the rest of the week!

your friend,

Ern.
