Solitude

Solitude
poem
Lionel Derbyshire

Silently the words
Tell me something
What am I feeling
No yelling .. only
Picture's rolling by
A mute is broken
And thoughts 
Are rolling in
Of broken times.

New days are comin ..
With new cravings.
Gone by midnight's 
Are replaced by
That awful creepy sleep 
Feared and loathed.

Then the little voice speaks
Tommorow is another day.
Talk in solitude
With great exclamations
To feel distinctively
The warm up
In sounds of silence
This comfort of solitude.
Silhouettes, blending and beating 
Rhyming right ..

Clickety click  .. click
Clickety clack .. clack
Clickety tick .. tick.
Chat chat
The cricket
Sing song of mumble
Hum alone.
Must not be boring
And shine like
Twinkle twinkle
Too whoo wee doo
Too whoo wee doo
Voices in harmony
The midnight owl
Strumming inside ..

Hateful phone ringing ..
Grumble ..
Miserable log.
" Hope nobody died. "

Solitude gone ..
Was good in the cleft
And left alone.
