LOST AGAIN

LOST AGAIN 

Do you see me

Do you know who I am.

It seems I'm lost again.

Hardly a shadow flickering in candle light.

Just a ghost passing in the night.

Forgotten

Abandoned by the dreams I had

Betrayed by imagined realities

Fantasy's hope and visions of bliss.

A lonely road I walk now

Like shades in Shiloh or in Hell

Searching for the way

But lost again.

I like it's soft meandering.

Such a melancholly write Longo, but somehow light, I mean not too burdonsome on a reader, a good thing (forgive me it's late, not so articulate when tired).... I like it's soft meandering.

Do we ever know where we

Do we ever know where we are, I wonder? This is beatifully put and so full of feeling as the above say we feel with you, each word telling in this poem. Are you always betrayed, surely not? Your Annuccia
