Beat the Devil

devil won't play fair
red on black black on red
playing never a dread
it beats lonliness
without any mess

Lonliness

Inside I cry
Neath sinking eyes
Against the wind
I feel that I
Am all alone
Am all alone
Am all alone…
Goodbye

Whats In a Face

What's in a face when viewed for the first time
is it beauty there
that draws me in
or do i recognize some aspect
or perhaps lonliness

Lonliness

In the dark I am alone
Without my wife, without my son
I wish to die but then I cry
I cry, cry and cry
Till the tears in my eyes all run dry

Forever You

nothing to think,
just pure sorrow,
lonliness around,
a post lamp warming the empty streets,
where am i so lost,
i dream,
to forget you ,
i saw you that day,
alone


Premium Member Lonliness

I am gently consumed
by the days awakened soul

I sit alone
the living room engulfs me
the world surrounds me
and yet i sit alone

I will laugh
into the night

Ness=state of Being

In this state of being
I'm lost in this world of emptyness
Sick with lonliness
Overwhelmed with sadness
beaten by soreness
Held down by disorderliness

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.

Faces of Lonliness

A soldier breathing his last breath
A scarred wife left behind
A father-less daughter contemplating death
A son-less father losing his mind

Bye Bye Love

Bye bye love -
say hello
to my new goodbye.

Once I was emanating
my soul to your soul,
but now it's driven
straight into my deep taproot.

You're a stain that can't be
scrubbed up anymore.

Many abandon their pets under the delusion that they.
will comfortably live their lives in their natural wild way,
but unseen they suffer.
Unheard they cry.
In agony they linger.
In lonliness they die.

Breathless

Suffocated by lonliness
Gasping for air
So lost in this world of darkness
Strangled perpetually by the hands of despair

There is a storm on the horizon
The phoenix wants to rise
I face this army fearlessly
I possess the tigers eyes

Silence

Bone damp silence pervades
A dark winter's night
On the streets of Dublin
Old tired bones rustle under cardboard
Dank smells of human neglect
Of excrement, sweat and hunger
No joyous laughter here
Just desperation, pain
And lonliness

Reaching for you

The wind echos heartache and pain
Questioning but silence remains 
Desperately waiting for change
Our future afar
Distance swallows ike quicksand
Our hearts screaming out its demands
Floating minds try to understand 
and yet here we are

Facebook

It is time 
for someone else.
I will sit
shaded under the awning
watching the color 
and clapping.
A special kind 
of lonliness 
resides in the audience, 
smiling faintly.
They all do well.
I smile quietly.
Nobody catches my whisper.

Conclusion

Lonliness in a relationship comes when we stop being friends, and become a habit.

In order to find your place in life, you must first be able to find yourself.

Never leave your self standing alone. Forest are made of many trees, not just the one.

Rescued

he opened the drapes to my soul
and gently stepped into my life
dusting my lonliness away
bright shining light into my day
removing cobwebs here and there
slowly mopping my fears to nought
painting a smile upon my face
so calm and clear my heart in cheer

Lonliness

Magnitude
Of Solitude
Hits
As she drifts 
Over mountainous cliffs
Into the atmosphere

Wake her
Shake her

Falling from the skies
Eyes swell over the rim
As she cries
Feeling overwhelmingly grim

Even the social outcast
Yearns for a companion
Form:

Frustrated

The paper falls
The television freezes
The nusance of a sore

The site fails
The lonliness sears
The news pales

Keep going
Going in circles
Wishing and wanting, overflowing

Struggling, waiting
What's it all for?
The answer will come
When all is grating

Awaits What

Darkness we had
Light awaits
Life we celebrate
Death awaits
Manhood we had
Oldage awaits
Strength we had
Weakness awaits
Crowds we had 
Lonliness awaits
Friendships we celebrate 
Envy awaits
Love we had
Hatred awaits
Downfalls we had
Heights awaits

You Left

A heart once filled with happiness, love and stability, light as a feather it was, 
now a dark scary bottomless pit left since the day you decided to walk out on me.

Never again will i be the same!
Lonliness, like a friend i find comfort in its arms. A fugitive to love, i have become.

Hindemith hindered her hibernation hopes.
How hansome harmonies hurt.
They hint at her lonliness, her homelyness.
She hunts her heart, hankering for a humdinger to hold her here.
Honour? Him? 
Her hand hits a howitzer.
She hears him.
It's heady to hold.

But perhaps better to let go.

Lonliness

It creeps in when you least expect it
Tearing you apart- bit by bit
And all you’re left with are
The echoes of the walls
But you’re just looking for a place to belong...
Loneliness
Something so empty can
Consume so much of who you are
And everyone is so close
Yet so far...
Loneliness.

Love

Love is just another cause for sorrow
Leaves you like an empty well
Needing to be filled up
But, instead you are devoid of all joy and happiness
Overwhelmed of feelings of lonliness
You cynical because you are utterly alone
At this table set for one
For now you are in my cistern of apathy
