Melancholy of a Lonely Man
Photo Credits: 1
The cup of life that once overflowed
Is now discharging as time rowed
Winter’s clearing a way for him
As his once radiant eyes grew dim
Oh what a lovely sight he’d seen
There stood crocodiles that shed tears
A tense heiress or two that fears
Strangers that act as his brethren
Oh how the man has longed this time
For him to hear their false shrivel
For him to know that someone cares
To an old man in his deathbed
Inflicted wounds will never heal
And scars may open and bleed too
But the wretched man chose not the woe
And lived with a heart in a seal
The seal’s already weakening
As the man’s end is approaching
No more bright days and no more rain.
He’ll never be deceived again.
Alas! The voyage has been blessed
The old man’s lonely heart is now freed
All that’s left is paying the fine
For living life is but a crime

It is such a heart wrenching poem. It is okay for you to post it independently (So cool of you to indeed note so).
These first two lines are a beautifully deep!

You nailed it! Such progression - like it follows a lifespan - and the meter is well-chosen - it feels like an aged person walking steadily and slowly. IMO, this is award-winning poetry right here!
Thank you for flattering me so much hahhaha
Not flattery - just honest remarks, my friend. ;-)
What I love the most about your poem is the smooth flowing. They keep drawing images in our minds. It warmed my heart. Nice job :)
