The Endless Wanderer

At the end of our life realizing that we are all alone.

                   The endless wanderer
Ebony skies  proclaim the night,
As is the norm ,as is the right,
Lusty sighs from a tavern wench,
Bring forth a pitcher my thirst I quench.

 

Walking this world alone I tread,
'Tis the earth I lay and make my bed,
Adventures much has come my way,
Here for a moment not here to stay.

 

I was born alone and alone I be,
Until the day life sets me free,
Loneliness comes like a lover she weeps,
Into my heart her tears they creep.

 

With my bag on my back and my thoughts to the front,
A builder must build a hunter must hunt,
And I must walk my path unknown,
Until I am dust and earth and bone.

"Loneliness comes like a lover she weeps,
Into my heart her tears they creep"

Powerful words. The rhyme and rhythm of this poem was so perfect...I read it aloud to get the full impact of your talent! You have described a solitariness that is all encompassing. Excellent work. Lydi**

Thank you very much my friend.

Stacked in my favorites, this adventurer is a cool dude, you have succeeded in creating a legend. The picture of Roland Deschain comes to my mind when I read this; the protagonist of "The Dark Tower" by Stephen King.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Ooooh if I could remind you of someone in a Stephen King's book I am very honoured .Thank you Theory :)

[New Theory]

I am a huge fan of Mr King, the characters that he has created are awesome. I hope that I would be able to write horror like him. He inspires me and you do too. :)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Oh thank you.I really like him but my favourite horror writer is Dean Koontz .I have read almost all his books :)

[New Theory]

You are welcome. I have read some of his books and plan to read more of him. :) . I find horror stories really alluring, it excites me the most.

[Vidya Bacchus]

I like them too .They are so fast paced and interesting:)

[New Theory]

Yes they are indeed. :)

[David Scott]

I see the salty skin and lilting voice of a sailor as I read this poem.
This is true of some in this life...
It was beautiful and lonely. Like watching a star in the night sky indeed.
Well done!

I was born alone and alone I be,
Until the day life sets me free,
Loneliness comes like a lover she weeps,
Into my heart her tears they creep.
