Lonely 
Lonely
The blessing and the curse
Food for thought
Water for the curious thirst

Lonely
Lonely keeps you focused
Alone
Determined 
Standing still and constantly moving
Perpetually searching
For that elusive and sacred golden ring

Lonely 
Lonely is intuition
Inspiration 
Celestial aspiration
In countless faces
Across lengthy "spaces"
Linked by a relative sniff
The gifted fragrance Merewif
The reasons for and why
That gnawing hunger in your eye
As you trace an age-old story
Encoded in your  "special" genes
From snapshots, rhymes and sketches
Shades of once upon a time scenes

Lonely
Lonely is a taskmaster
A subtle, subliminal enforcer
Snapping you back to the middle
If you should chance to dawdle
Carry on, Carry on
No rest for the “owners”
Sally and Jack
It's the monkey on your back
Holding your wandering eyes “open”
Time after Time
When frustration wants you blind

Lonely
Lonely thanks 
For… 
Keeping the hounds at bay
Fending off the detractors
As I stumbled on my “way”
Thanks
It was worth every painful dime
You kicking my stubborn ass
To this predicated place and time

Lonely 
Lonely
Lonely
The blessing and the curse
I am “there” now
For better or for worst

Lonely 
Lonely 
She has been damn good to me
