Loneliness sometimes seizes you like the talon of a hawk, clutching you tightly in its claws, choking your very breath...


LONELINESS

Crumpled bed sheet
heaves a sigh.
Pale Moon peeps in
through my window,
Moon beam searches
pitch-black walls.
Dry autumnal leaves
crackle in the courtyard.
Weary rose buds
hang their heads.
Sighs incessant rise
in my bosom,
Drown with the
dismal night...
Fading North Star
high in the sky
feebly throws its light....

All these ancient soul mates mine,
Conspire against me tonight,
Mock me,
at my lonely plight...

The solitude of the soul can only be felt by those who have experienced "alone", those who scream silently but their screams are disgiused by a never reaching smile, those who have walked with loneliness........
Zoya, I feel you-right to the core!!!!But you need not be alone....I'm just a click away!

Past soulmates must not rule our emotions, Right? It takes two to fall, why should lonliness be chosen by one?

No one does it quite like you.
The way your words enters deep into the core of me, and paints your picture in there.

Ahh, loneliness in fall is the saddest of moods!
You depict this as wonderfully as only you can, the autumnal setting emphasizes the feeling in a beautiful way.

Mine, dear K. whose else? Can you write like that about someone else's loneliness?
You should be the last person asking me this question, my friend. Don't you know me?

I just told Marjan about the loneliness that has been troubling me here in India, and she asked me to read this.

It is like a coincindence. I am appreciative of this great work, and I would love to read it, again and again.
