Lonesomeness

When ghosts of seclusion haunt,
And murky clouds of gloom veil the mind,
When tears on rosy cheeks freely flaunt,
Heart misses a beat and lags behind,

Must you intervene and rescue the kind,
Certainly prejudiced is the sublime,
Unable to introspect as love is blind,
Drowning in deep ocean of worldly mime !
