Here I am Posted by Purple Ink , Tuesday, May 25, 2010 at 2:13 AM, in Purple Tags: loneliness, Poetic Monday, Poetry (English)

Here I am, thinking
weeping,
searching...

If I could find a place
where my soul could see his
A place where all the doubts are gone
and all our plans are one
Yet I know, there will always be none.

 

Here I am, floating
weeping,
wandering...

At this river of endless tears
Where life and joy are interred
And dreams and hopes are annihilated
Where everyone are perfect strangers
and nobody even cared.

Umbrella Cockatoos are medium-sized, white parrots with dark grey beak. Their eyes can be brown, black or red. Normally, they have this crest that spreads out in a semi-circular shape like an umbrella when surprised.
