    desolate soul
    the desolate soul
    sits on the edge of his universe
    asking why?
    go on! ...is the only reply
    the inky black darkness
    surrounding him, cutting him;
    his black blood colours the night
    frightened....
    reaching for the light switch
    it obeys, but cannot
    pierce the doubt that issues from
    the desolate sole

    Well...couldn't you name it "The Desolate Soul?" I think that would be a great title for such a cool poem. And another thing...why won't this poem let me leave my rating of TEN? ...Must be a glitch of some kind.

    good work milk. Makes some good points and very descriptive to be be so short. Leaves me with some questions to ponder on. its hard to make the short ones so well, you have a nice touch

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
