Like A Lament

             Like A Lament

            By Connie James



The Moonlight kisses him beautiful!
Beaming her light upon his eyes
Waiting below the bridge, the riverside
Starlight glistening in his eyes
Won't be surprised, gazing to his skies
Beyond his universe, he tried seeing, feeling
Treading softly in the moonlight ;
The delights of such a night
In the Moon in her half-light
While the shadow's trembled, forebodingly
In the inkiness darkness of the night
In the old ruins stood he starring all around
Velvety darkness engulfing him
Whisperings all around   
Like a lament!
A soul trapped
Amongst the ruins red the dust
Whispering between the trees
Ghouls in the old temples lost,
the gateways;
Trapped irrevocably in a dream 
All alone sitting just one thought,
in his mind...
To write his words his phrases
His ambiguous verses of poetry
Yesterday's words phrases, of yesteryear
Solitude engulfing him
Shadows all around;
In his mind darkness surrounding him
Whispering to those shadows...
O' restless shadows, be at peace won't you
For am not about to disturb you,
Your world!
But to write my words, my verses in solitude
Recited lyrically by the poet
Residing within me!!
