Poem

Solitude

Many loves germinated in my heart
But none ever bloomed out of it
I let them all die
Because my fear was stronger than my needs

I used to live on dreams and promises
Wishing reality to look like my own world
I let opportunities pass by
Because my fear was stronger than my hopes

I used to depend on circumstances
Afraid to make wrong choices
I let my flesh kill my soul
Because my fear was stronger than my faith

There are on my mind traces of pain
In my heart feelings like I have lived in vain
I have buried my talents in the sand of diffidence
Because they seem too small to make a difference

As Solitude has become a lifetime friend
And silence the only way I can speak loudly
Tears have turned into the perfume of my nights
And sad memories the blanket of my sleeps

JEAN DE DIEU NIKIEMAThank you Arsène.I am really touched by your appreciation and the time you spared to write these lines.BURKINA FASO11/8/2009 9:37:08 AM
ArsèneHi man, Congratulations once more and thanks for sharing your talents with the rest of the world. Should this poem be the expression of your every day reality, may you find your soul mate to fill your hollow moments and provide you with all the joy you deserve. You can trust me; there's no such a good thing than to have somebody who shares your little life. Good luck and let's hope that the next poem will be relating to the lovely person you'll meet.
