Lonely Oblivion
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
In the hue of twilight's hazy rapture,
We plunge deep into the vast void,
Sensual whispers caressing empty walls,
Aching for connection's radiant mirage.
Strangers passing by, bodies craving touch,
Yearning for oblivion's tender dance,
Where loneliness falters, undone in ecstasy,
As passion's grip entwines two in silence.
But still, we wander in this wilderness,
Desire's embrace displaced, lost in shadows,
Boundaries blurred, secrets concealed,
In lonely oblivion, desire's sweet decay.
