Authentic lonelyness —
Is not the Empty Room —
Nor Silence pacing softly
Where Conversation bloomed —
It is the Crowd that passes —
And does not see the Face —
The Hand extended inward —
Unanswered — in its Place —
It is to speak in True —
And hear no Echo — born —
As if the Soul were Winter —
And every Listener — Morn —
It is to love the Language —
Yet find no Ear that stays —
To build a careful Meaning —
That vanishes — like Haze —
The authentic lonelyness —
Wears no dramatic Guise —
It lives within the Ordinary —
And learns to be — its Skies —
Yet still — it keeps a Candor —
No Falsehood learns to keep —
For those who know its Residence —
Are never — wholly — Asleep —
Am I Chasing Death Alone
Life is short
Alone or with someone
Being single
Less trouble
Easier on your wallet
I’m kind of selfish
No Kids
Peace and quiet
Lonelyness I’ve become
Isolation, cling to no one
Who’s going to care for you when you're old?
Something to think about
Emptiness all around
You can’t have both
Am I Chasing Death Alone?
Silent rooms
Memories of one
Grow old under the sun
A lonely life
The end could be any time
A journey of melancholy
No one to stop by and visit me
In the cemetery
Have another drink alone
Amber whisky, numb
Look through the trees
Through the night branches
Everyone sleeping
Everything still.
That's when I feel you,
Waking and stretching
Looking for me too
Where would I go?
I look through the trees.
Through the night branches
Hoping to find you
See my way home.
Lonelyness is like the hurt of a poor puppy's paw.
Lonelyness is something that you never saw.
Lonelyness is something that's hard to explain.
It can bring forth tears that often come with pain.
Lonelyness is something that you will never know.
It starts off very small and third begins to grow.
Lonelyness is something that you may someday see,
but no one could bare the lonelyness that lived inside of me
~~~~GO ON... SON~~~~
At the edge of your nail
dancing of success
requesting for time and effort
from you, to have a grasp
I needs must sweat
to have endless acquire
What one acquires with one's sweat
goes endless years
My son, what sweat you've shed
to say it is enough
next steps that lies forth you
maybe the key to success
So relax not
in pursuing your dream.
~~~~ROSE~~~~
At the coastline of a stream
stood a beautiful rose
I wondered, had she a mermaid
but fresh from head to toe
without a fish tail
A thoughtless wind
tossing to and fro her attire
as a swaying kite
I moved to her
within her angelic eyes
A chime of lonelyness
Like a ringing-bell
My heart danced
singing song of infatuation
I wanted to say HI girl
Suddenly, I heard humming
Of a speedboat from afar
She smiled; is it for me?
Is the smile for me?
I thought
She moved toward the guy
and then into the boat
Anger smiled within me
the surf burst into laughing
I watched them
as they begin to go
till they vanished within empty space.
Majestic monarch, how pretty are your wings,
Majestic Monarch, how special is your soul,
Majestic Monarch, how lovely have you touched our souls,
Majestic Monarch, I seek to feel your presence to wipe away my ever flowing tears,
Majestic Monarch, please land on me, to help me get rid of my ever present fears.
Monarch butterflies, fluttering around me with ever softly sound,
I know you have come to say goodbye to my friends on earth,
to take me with you into the wide open skies, up to heaven,
For my time on earth has come to an end, I am ready to be free.
Majestic Monarch butterfly, please whisper softly in my ear,
Tell me to stay here and seek out your wisdom, for how to survive,
My fears, my anxiety, is eating me alive, My lonelyness is too much,
Majestic Monarch butterfly, your beauty is briging me to tears,
My presence is overbearing, surround me with your love,
Lift me up, I am being taken away by the wind,
GOODBYE..
A time of joy
a time of piece
is not the only side
of this multifaceted world
turn the mirror
to see the pain
the tears, the fears
the lonelyness and depression
the sickness the dakness
light and dark
two warring sides
on one earth
what is dark and what is light?
hunger, war, DEATH
love, joy LIFE
the mirror relfects the light
leaving the darkness behind
see what you want to see
not what is needed
needed to be known
the mirror moves back
to the side of the light
leaving the dark behind
say merry christmas world
maybe someday the time will come
when the mirror
doesn't need to hide the darkness
when it will reflect the light into the dark
and warm every corner of the world
our diamond in the rough
that will be polished one day
to become a glorious sun
obliterating darkness
leaving only light
a day when we can say
and mean it
Merry Christmas World
-lonely times- from what i see.
i sit and wonder why the happiness was short lived
i see people smile and ask no one in particular
is it me that is sad alone or is it just what i see?..
what if what i see is not a mistake
just the truth brought by some mistakes i did
mistakes i cant really tell, they'll kill me; from what i see..
then my soul will rest i suppose, rest from this void
this empty world that doesn't need me
rest from this world that everything dies from- eventually.
ill take the first place in the graveyard, perhaps after Romeo..
but wait she died along with him..
but she kills my soul; sole, from what i see
she kills without the heart of reckon
she stubs even harder when i try to understand why
she doesn't want to explain it from what i see
she just want to be gone, go far away with another man
gone from these lonely times
times that she was all could i see
stay with me now, i need you, in these times of lonelyness
stay with me my inborn friend, hold together my stand
stay with me my poetry i hold you feel you more than i can see
A soul Awakend
By Elaine Roy
A soul awakens, in the moments of truth
Facing, the troubles of a life
Seeking through the lonelyness of darkness; to unveil the vivid color of hope through the light
Through the roars of emotions, were waves are crashing ; it's there reaching the shores to one heart
As, the last tears falls and the last sob is taken; a soul has awakened !
I find myself once again, alone and
sitting on my bed
Staring at the cold walls as my soul
trys to escape from getting sad
Some nights loneliness gets to me,
thats when i shed tear after tear
Is like a wave of sadness came over
me, without any warning creeping
from behind
so i pretend im not alone and turn
the closet light on
Is my pathetic little way to get my
crying under control
i know im not the only one that feel
the way i do
So even if we feel loneliness we
don't have to live it alone.
why did you have to leave
couldnt you stay a little longer
lonelyness in me is a lot more stronger
i know i will see you again
untill then my heart will mend
so much i miss me and you
with memories that feel brandnew
so untill i meet you there
my heart pain it shall bare
please can you hear what im saying
come back for me daddy
im still here waiting
8/2/36-1/11/11
Sitting by the window looking for a way out,i'm nothing here what holds me back. There's somthing in the air that follows me around darkness and voices in my head theres nothing with me except an empty chair. Lonelyness overcomes mr tragity all around I would do anything to exscape this surfull place.
Sitting by thr window looking for a way out searching for a person not burdaned by doubt. My window it seems is getting further away drifting from my mind dissapearing into the dark, complete darkness, complete silence, I wonder is this it.
My worst fear
Controls my thoughts,
Abandoned,
With my screaming mind in the barren street,
My eyes beg for someone,
Anyone,
To save me from this nightmare,
Take me away from the lonelyness,
Help me escape this fear.
Till death do me apart
by Steven Pineda
“This one goes out to the ones that fall in Love”
The heart stitched from two pieces.
Still beating but with no meaning.
The lonelyness comes in with the night like a monster hiding under my bed feeding on my empty soul.
I long for love and attention.
The bed is like a cold tomb just me laying in the grave no one else just me.
Its cold dark no warmth the body shrivels and awaits a companion to take me into the sunlight to be warmed.
The butterfly's have left or died in my stomach I feel just emptiness.
I fein the need to catch the high of being loved and comforted by someone who needs me.
I wish I wasnt forgotten.
My best friend greets me with nausea and the fear of dying alone.
Where is my love I need it to be revived from this lonelyness void.
I walk a path that leads no where and see the world in shades of grey.
Sometimes I await death for that will immortalize me in everybodys mind and I will be loved and not forgotten.
deeper i fall into your web of deceit,tangled in all the lies i feed myself..love? weak
for needing this,my addiction is affection and ive destroyed my self for
you..consuming me! slowly evaporating my soul, crimson tides of lonelyness crash
upon me,emptying its self in me untill it washes me clean...regret doesnt even begin
to cover the sorrow silintly caked across my mind..i resent my memory for
remembering your touch..i dont think i'll ever truely get over you because everytime
i hear the word love i feel your heart beat inside of mine..time has away of effecting
everything. see you start to change ,it happens so slow takeing a hold of a part of
you that you diddnt even know excisted before..then by the time you relize it,its too
late because its the core of you..every thing is a blurr kinda coming at you in
waves,struggling to come back from this place inside,its you i see when i close my
eyes...
