3rd in the 'Calling All Poets 2007' competition
Loneliness is a dull grey
Occasionally with streaks of never ending blue.
It tastes like burnt out ashes and old wood.
Where loneliness rules, it looks
Dead, grey with things wandering
Alone dying from the separation
Of all existence.
Loneliness smells of nothingness.
It sounds like whispers,
Calling for someone or something to be with.
Loneliness feels like a dead wasteland inside you,
With beasts soaring in its skies.
