Kill
loneliness.
Make a bet she will disappear with a smile.
Then shed a tear
and let time shape your mouth.
Fight
loneliness.
A scent in
the air still tries to find its way.
A voice
lost in time echoes from the future.
Stare at
loneliness.
Draw her unshaped figure.
See her
shadow, touch her color.
Seduce
loneliness.
Look at her blind eyes, confess.
Speak her mute language.
Don’t blame
loneliness.
Honor her presence; she came to teach you.
The value
of a true kiss that last.
Listen to
loneliness.
Amazing
stories are waiting to be told.
In silence
all voices are louder.
Don’t hate
loneliness.
Protect her.
Embrace her.
You will
miss her sometime.
I asked loneliness to go.
She smiled and came closer.
I moved away. She approached.
I run. She looked after me.
I slept. She came in my dreams.
She gave me a gift. A bad company.
I asked her back. She returned.
We spent some time together.
She read me stories to sleep.
She gave me another gift.
Appreciation.
For all that I look but I never see.
For all that I keep but I never touch.
For all that I sense but I never feel.
For all that I keep but I never touch.
For all that I sense but I never feel.
I realized her precious presence.
We are now friends.
I love her good company.
She follows me in the crowd.
I dance with her.
We make long walks and talks.
I feel thankful for all that I learned from her.
I feel complete/
I feel complete/
Lonely but never alone.
I owe her.
Wow, beautiful poem and amazing language. It was so deep and raw, and I could really feel how loneliness was weaved into the whole poem.
