Lonely Soul

A poem by Chloe Rose.

On Saturday 20th June, the eve of the Solstice, I was sitting with some dark emotions that were emerging from within me, up to the surface of my consciousness. Rather than allowing the darkness to consume me, I gave it voice, and alchemized it into Art…

She’s just a lonely Soul

Wondering in the cosmic abyss.

Navigating the pain and the sorrow

In the empty void, she seeks her bliss.

Feeling lost amongst the chaos and noise

With pain in her body, scars on her heart.

Following the road less travelled

The depth of darkness fuels her art.

She’s just a lonely soul

Forever feeling misunderstood.

So much rage and frustration

She’d set it all ablaze if she could.

Solitary stillness forever her old friend

Seeking redemption in the silence.

However, the further she ventures

The more that the quiet feels violent.

She's just a lonely Soul

Yearning to meet her mate.

But how can she ever hope to align

When she is death and fire incarnate?

Moments of joy, lifetimes of despair

Floating upon an ocean of sorrow.

Emptiness dances with everythingness

Keeping adrift on dreams of tomorrow.
