THE BEAUTY OF LONELINESS

Posted by Unknown On Tuesday, April 7, 2009 10 comments
Loneliness
is a prisoner deep in my heart
trying desperately to break out and tearing me apart

Loneliness
is an ocean held by a tired old dam
engulfing me with its heavy torrent of tears

Loneliness
is a cage for happiness
draining me of my energy and vigour

Loneliness
is an invisible darkness
leading me to a mental blackout

Loneliness
is the sharpest dagger with vicious points
inflicting so much pain while drawing blood from my heart

Loneliness
is an oasis in the desert
enabling me to ponder and wash away my woes

Loneliness
is a pure white dove
bringing peace to my troubled mind and weary heart when i think of you

Loneliness
is a seemingly insignificant power
providing waves of inner strength for me to go on loving you against the odds

Loneliness
is my black-masked friend
for in it i can just think about you to draw strength for living

Loneliness
is my hidden treasure
empowering me to carry on loving you for my whole lifetime and beyond....

    Anonymous Take a holiday in Cameron Highlands and stay in one of those chalets with a fireplace.

    Unknown *muaahhhhx* Clever girl...

    Yes! Bala's is not bad - much cheaper too and I love the garden..

    Perhaps we might even meet there one day, Andrea.

    Thanks so much. You are really a romantico at heart :-).

    Unknown LOL!!! Actually, no. Haha!

    I wrote it during a class because I was teaching a student how to write poems and he had shared with me how he had been bullied by his friends and then using those ideas, I wrote the five verses after which I found it too depressing and then I decided to change the mood to make it a love poem.

    Er...I don't know if hubby has seen it yet but he does read my blog to see how addicted I am to blogging :-) and the max no. of posts has been set at 5 a day LOL!!!

    Thanks...

    cheers

    ocho-onda That's the beauty of poetry . The same poem will get as many different interpretations as from as many readers. :-)
