Lonely Echo

Lonely Echo

By Nomar Knight

I sit in solitude

Waiting for a sign

That I'm not forgotten

The sound of rocking

Back and forth

Keeps me company

A starless night

Tries to muffle

My mourning cries

Cold breeze whips by

Vague whispers caress

Awaking curiosity

I lean closer to the edge

Where heartache rules

Listening for your voice

I could barely hear

You calling my name

As teardrops fall

With pounding dreams

And outstretched hope

I rise to praise the miracle

But when sounds sling back

A deadly dose strikes

And I collapse again

Left to a merciless fate

I relive the agony

Of this lonely echo

Lost on Isolation Road

Lost on Isolation Road

By Nomar Knight

No matter what choice I make

Life pulls me to Isolation Road

It snakes through darkness

Freezing air takes hold

Too late to fight it

Can't break the mode

First time swirling wind

Displayed my mistakes

Like a naked exhibitionist

My innocence did break

No one to comfort me

Drowning sorrow in a lake

When last I haunted Isolation Road

Pavement melted on a whim

Encased my essence in muck

Making prospects grim

Yet I tried to chip free

But reality grew dim

The sum of my choices sent me here

Now my heart grows cold

Zest for life entrapped in chains

Drowning while decisions get old

Surrounded by fear

Lost on Isolation Road

No One Belongs

No One Belongs

Here's a poem inspired by one of my all-time favorite songs performed by the Bee Gees, Someone Belonging to Someone.    I like the song because I can be in a large crowd and still feel alone.  After reading this, have a listen. 

No One Belongs

By Nomar Knight

I sit on the porch

The falling rain plays a lullaby of pain

Watching how pairs hug close

Umbrellas can’t hide their love

A cool breeze sprays a mist on my face

I’m grateful for no one can tell

I cry tears of loneliness

Darkness slowly comes

Laughing couples provide the sting

There’s someone belonging to someone

So what happens to me

Imprisoned in an unforgiving world

Misunderstood by all

I wonder who’s loving you

What is my life without you

Will I be in a lost love’s arms

When you belong to someone else

And I have no one

Belonging to me

Forced to believe in miracles

And the rain keeps falling

Isolation's Womb

Isolation's Womb

For One Stop Poetry Week 47

Isolation's Womb

by Nomar Knight

Stuck in a cloud of loneliness

Can't get used to this only nest

Wondering how this could be

What the hell's wrong with me

The weight of eyes press on my back

But when I check there's only black

Could it be the room's alive

My kindness fades while evil thrives

When I write about blood and death

A sudden noise steals my breath

Is it the wind playing games

Or ghosts trying to blow out my flame

For my muse is quite distracted

From the world I've been subtracted

The loneliness cloud grips me whole

My head aches and something jabs my soul

Tell me world what must I do

Should I hold my breath till I turn blue

Or battle the urge and keep up the fight

Type about pain and my latest plight

Time to slice open another vein

And relive the terror all over again

For a horror tale is never complete

Must have a victim for the monster to eat

As my fingers stab a frantic dance

Epiphany reveals this is my chance

To embrace darkness for better or worse

Horror is born from this new-found curse

Hardships of Time by Nomar Knight

 

Hardships of Time

By Nomar Knight

There's loneliness in the air

I can't see it

But it weighs heavy on my conscience

Perhaps love is an illusion

A trick of emotion

The desire to shed tears

Consumes me

But it goes against my conditioning

Mortal fools

Wreak emotional havoc

Stunting growth

Tears do cleanse the soul.

I pray ye won't reveal

My secret

Crystal drops fall

Sobs steal my breath

This aching heart

Consumed with one burden

Do you exist to love me?

I am one.

A lifeless wonder with a beating heart

Loneliness suffocates hope

My other half

Lost to me

By a quirk of fate

Oh how I hate thee

Time monger

As the night moves on

I grow crazy

Knowing that someone else

May be caressing your face

If I could only break

These chains of uncertainty

I would alas breathe in your scent

And gain strength

From your heavenly

Voice

Touch

Smile

Your mere presence

Would erase all hardships of time
