Emotions swirl,
as my thoughts curl,
around the truth of you.
The night is long,
as my heart’s song,
beckons across this view.
I wish we were building fortresses anew,
and finding solace and reverie in two —
Instead,
I float alone;
lost in sullen waves,
consumed by the
endless
panoramic view.
I appreciate what you did with the rhymes in this piece: how you have rhymes within the stanza and across stanzas, all except for the one where you describe yourself (the persona of the poem) in the second-last stanza. Brilliant interpretation of the picture prompt!
