Well, to day seems to be one of those days...


ALONE

Alone,
Today, I feel so alone,
Loneliness gnaws at me...

Choked by the demons of my past,
Stung by the serpent of silence,
I sit in my chamber of woe,
The walls close in on me...

Fate seems to conspire against me,
Time is my enemy...

The world goes about
Oblivious,
Sees only my apparent smile.

Who peeps into my eyes?
The mirror of my soul.
Who knows my anguished heart?
Who knows my real self...

To day I feel so
Alone...
Forlorn, beyond compare...

Am I wallowing in self-pity?
I don't know...

very nice and thought provoking poem indeed! Loneliness is a boon to think about togetherness. When alone, if we think the happy moments we spent while we are together or with people. Nobody is alone. if we feel alone at any tinme we have to blame for the lonliness.
love to others is the primary requirement and that guarantees the happy feeling of togetherness. thank you for sharing your views on 'lonliness' and provoked so many to nice discussion. pen on more of this kind. wish you fine day!

Dear Arti,
Deep within is this desire,
To be loved and cared for...
Deep within is this yearning
For some to hold me in his arms...
Deep within is this craving
That someone might indulge me with his charm...
Deep within are desires,
Yearnings, craving and what not...
Who is come and put an end
To my woes and to my wants?
If wishes were only horses,
Won't I run away with them?
Thanks a pile for such a beautiful verse!
**hugs**
Love, xxx, Zoya

I feel this is a very good text written by you, It talks to me.
Specially "choked by the demons of my past" and the thing about you're feeling lonely. I hopes you'll have a better day tomorrow, Soon, you're not lonely

Deep behind that radiant smile
Lies a poet's soul, weeping..
Deep within those beautiful eyes
Lie tears unshed for a long time...
Deep within that soft heart
Lies a sorrow untold, unheard..
But deep within your mind
Lies the knowledge that you have friends
Deeply in love and comradeship with you
Lie in our arms, and be yourself...

((big hugs))
Cheer up!

Thanks every one, it is only that:

When I am full of sorrow,
The world seems blue...

When I am down and out,
The clouds seem down too...

When I am down in the doldrums,
The world seems to be sinking with me too...

When black is my night,
The day seems as black as the night too...

Oh, When will the sun shine bright?
When my day will be bright too...

**Hugs to all of you**

I am feeling better already!

Love, xx, Zoya

Awwwwwwwwww!
My dear Night Soul Woman what can I say?
You have put that much needed balm
to my wounds today...

I was wallowing in self-pity,
You came and made my day.
Swishing my sorrows away...

I will listen to the sound of silence
And hear that outcry,
That comes from a thousand hearts
Left in the cold out there...

I will sit and contemplate,
And introspect a little,
And make the best of the solitude,
That has been given to me
in this din of multitudes...

I will sit and count my blessing,
Which are not really few,
And then, I won't feel sorry for my self,
And thank my stars anew!

night soul woman The PoetBay support member heart!
Alone you will find a way
to defeat your demons
instead of feeding them

Alone you will find the
path that you need to follow
instead of wallowing in self-pity

Listen to the sounds of silence
they have so much to tell
Today will be tommorow
in few hours.

And tommorow is a new day
and who knows maybe someone
will look into your eyes and see
your soul, discover the beauty
behind those sad eyes...

(((hugs)))
your cyber-sister
