I Am Lonely Even In the City of People
I am lonely amidst people
deep insatiable longing
for belonginess roots within
mind is slippery
at the tentacles of misadventures
on the corollary of jilted love
love of women who gave me the sword
when I gave them sweetness
I am love-thorn
wet in desolation and dried of sensation
across the macabre
where love was a jostling jamboree
You can’t believe
I am lonely
Even in the city of people
