Loneliness

The walls scream with silence
and I am alone
My hands reach out but fail to grasp
the last link with sanity
The waves of bewilderment flow over me
and I am lost.
My ears re-echo the silence
and I am deaf
My mind probes the vacant past 
but the past is lost
The waves of emotion flow over me 
and I am silent
My eyes gaze upon emptiness
and I am blind
My lips move in trembling speech 
but no sound comes forth.
The waves of desire flow over me
and I am afraid. 

This poem was written by me when I was 16 
and I have the pleasure of announcing that it was published
 in the fall of 2001 by the International Library of Poetry 
In a volume entitled "At Water's Edge"
