Prince Henry Nibenang Poet ABC

A Lonely Heart

A Lonely Heart
Deaths sweet cousin has become my companion
And the silent sounds and erect walls have felt my sorrow
Loneliness has rusticated my companionship because of boredom
The once cheerful cheek that beamed with smile is now a host to constant tears
And now even the devil has no work for me in my ideal

I have loved and have lived
I once smiled relentlessly with joy all round
The once crowned Prince of luxury and amusement
The friend of all and the icon of the masses 
I lived and with no shadow of a doubt I saw myself on top of the world

Then fortune turned it back on me
And daylight turned into an awesome darkness
Ironically there was one clear light in this darkness
No one is a friend of rags but riches
Recognition and care only exist in the world of luxury
And there is no friendship in the timed of plenty
But parasites and holocaust ready to enjoy.
Agonizing lessons taped from my dead memories 

For have screamed so loud and yet it seems the world is empty
My comrades have all fled and am alone facing this war of silence
There’s no more love left in this world and love is just a meaningless word
Everything one owns as accolades emanates not from his worth but wealth

Have been left dumbfounded in mine grieve
And no where to turn to but just for these silent sounds and erect walls
I will hold them tight for that’s all I have left.

Caren Krutsinger November 13, 2018 at 7:35 PM Welcome to Poetry Soup, Prince Henry. You have described well disappointment, loss and despair, and your poem is true in such a big way - we gather people when things seem to be going well, but maybe not real friends. When things are not going so well, however, it seems like things go from bad to worse. Nicely done. Prince Henry Nibenang December 23, 2018 at 5:52 AM Thank You...am grateful
