"Contemplation"

For frustrations creep in slowly in the silence,

and the soft hum of the room disturbs the balance

of my tired mind. My eyes are empty islands

on vacation with a hammock and the garlands

of sweet flowers 'round our necks. My defiance

to defeat is like fighting against giants.

Still I forge ahead for failure is no choice,

I will shout and sing until I lose my voice,

I will write - and every poetry or prose,

will reflect the truth, my happiness, my woes.

And I sit here with my hands upon my face,

for my heart is lonely, longing your embrace.

Must this distance be a harsh neccesitation?

In my room I sit alone in contemplation.
