Solitude
*it rhymes, get over it* ;-)
The soft lights flicker off
yet desire never swells
within these muted walls
no passion ever dwells
No tender words of romance
are ever spoken here
no wicked lustful yearnings
voiced to a hungry ear
No tender kisses placed
upon a lover's breast
no hands to reach out for her
denied of love's caress
A heart deprived of loving
a soul withered, alone
solitude, a lonely place
turns a woman's heart to stone
The soft lights flicker off
yet desire never swells
within these muted walls
no passion ever dwells
No tender words of romance
are ever spoken here
no wicked lustful yearnings
voiced to a hungry ear
No tender kisses placed
upon a lover's breast
no hands to reach out for her
denied of love's caress
A heart deprived of loving
a soul withered, alone
solitude, a lonely place
turns a woman's heart to stone

So it rhymes...
Each stanza is beautifully written and flows naturally to the next. But that last one. Pure perfect ending. "Sad" doesn't begin to describe it. Nicely done, Lola!

Thanks M! I still love poetry that rhymes...I have fun doing the free verse, but I think my heart will always belong to rhyme and rythym.

Solitude is not a happy place when accompanied by lonely on any level. I think this is a really good piece with lots of depth.
Rhyming in poetry isn't necessarily a bad thing-when done with skill and adding to the meaning of the poem-I think it's when people simply rhyme a bunch of words to try and be poetic that rhyming is pedantic and shallow
Your rhyme scheme is well done and simply gives a nice touch to the content..well done

It speaks of loneliness and a love starved heart. It is sad but I enjoyed reading it.
