Lonliness Poems

Weight of the Lonliness

I sit alone, the room is still,
No laughs, no joy at all .
The clock ticks loud, the night feels long,
I hum a tune, a wordless song.

I walk outside, the streets are bare,
The stars above don’t seem to care.
I wave at shadows, talk to air,
But no one’s here, and no one’s there.

The phone is quiet, the

The empty chair

The moon shone bright a little less tonight
My family too, seemed to hide from sight.
We were all in our rooms, pondering over what we once had known,
Because we were afraid to admit that we were all feeling alone.
The laughter that once echoed through the house, 
Was now all contained in a bag and a blouse.
He

Forsaken

My spirit,
Incinerated. 
Its ashes 
Descend back into
That dark crater:
That inky opaque abyss,
Where the slightest din
Is swallowed, 
Where that one fragment of light is asphyxiated,
Held down, 
Stripped and raped from its alluring, golden iridescence. 
It drowned in its own tears
And then scattered across its own grave. 
They turn their backs 
With apathy entrenched into their depths:
The

The Between


The space in the between
Is home of the Divine
Where ether and atom
Forever intertwine

For the presence of God
Has no possible gap
As expressed through each one
Though form feel like a trap

And so Life emerges
From the Mind of the All
Unfolding in beauty
With the rise and the fall

And when I feel lonely
I need simply recall
The presence of the One
Is

Premium MemberNaked to the Bone

I stand beneath the evening sky,
Naked to the bone.
Everything that once I loved has now
Been taken from me; feels like forever gone.

No more soft hugs and tender kisses
Intended just for me alone.
Gone are the innocent laughing eyes whose
Life within so brightly shone.

Each child has gone their separate ways
To seek their paths alone.
I am left beneath

A Sestet of Strength

Strength a labor of time,
A work which breaks bones,
An effort which I have made mine,

While I work once again,
This time I work with friends,
With this I can go through the pain.

The crowd 
pushes in on me
from side to side
people I never
wanted to know
prefered to ignore
because there is
only you I am 
waiting for.

You were always 
the life 
of the party
and even though
the musical din
bangs on and on
I hear nothing
I feel nothing
I  am left 
all alone.

I keep wishing 
these people
would dispurse
because being 
surrounded
yet alone 
without you
is

big thoughts in small form

i will write haiku 
so that my big feelings don’t 
take up too much room 

i know well enough
silence wields no rejection
so i stay silent.

the feminine urge
to scream like a wounded beast
but i just say no.

i am seventeen
my mere age is poetic
just like a haiku

to be six again
is what the sky hears when i
wish upon

Walls

*Walls*

Why do we tear down walls
Only to rebuild them?
Maybe in the same place
Or in another farther away

Walls are the darkness within us.
They are stifling and disruptive
Mimicking the divisions among us

Walls separate us
Or create a barrier between what 
We think we hear and know, and the 
Peace we crave

Did God create these walls?
Or are they created

Iselder Ysbryd

So to the waterfront I go,
Heart heavy with the weight of feeling alone,
And there's  all Mcculloch & crew can do, I find,
To settle my soul, to ease my mind.

The world is at peace but my mind is hectic,
I wish
My mind were as copacetic
As the waves.
Still. Ordered. Beatific.

They have paved their place in the world
And

Hope's Bitter Mirage

Loneliness is a cruel mirage
It leaves you yearning to be quenched
Yet as you get closer and closer
The possibility vanishes, but hope never dissipates

That hope keeps you thirsty
That thirst leaves you lonely
That loneliness leaves you longing
That longing leaves you empty
That emptiness leaves you desperate
That desperation leaves you to hope
That hope gives you hurt

But you'll never learn

So

Starry Night

Starry night - JapnoorR 

Poetry --------- 
Written by Jenny

 
I look into the darkness
of the night
The stars shine upon
Creating light even in the worst times of darkness. Amidst the stillness of the night, I find solace in the gentle glow of a star, twinkling in the dark 
The last of my hope... 
Its soft radiance

Lonliness In Oblivion

Secretly I wish I could disappear,
Beyond the gander that is oblivion,
Between the before and after,
No one missing me, there wouldnt be a disaster

Just silence, no justice,
Just nothing in a place of wonder,
Would you then be happier,

A world of laughter in place of sorrow,
Or Would you still suffer in a world of tomorrow,
To find me gone

Sos

Hello again

I'm sorry I haven't been writing as much
I've been ripping out a myriad of my musings
like petals from their flowers
crumpling them up & discarding them in a bin
overflowing with lies, malicia 
& stories I wish were truly mine
I'm sorry it took an eternity for me to reply
I've been trying to convince my shadow
to be
