The Jinx of Solitude

I am alone
Lost and lonely
Walking through the roads of solitude
In search of nothing
But wishing every second to attain the inaccessible you.

I am alone
Lost and lonely
Turning back every other minute
But nobody is following me
Not even my own shadow!

I am alone
Lost and lonely
Love created all the magic
And took it away as it disappeared
Leaving me in twinge.

I am alone
Lost and lonely
What can make my life appealing?
You were not a thing in my life
To get you replaced!

I am alone
Lost and lonely
Isolated and abandoned.
Having experienced your love
No other forms of love seem true to me.

I am alone
Lost and lonely
Youth snatched the glow in my face
Time grabbed the charm and elegance
You seized all that was remaining.

I am alone
Lost and lonely
Carrying nothing with me
Other than those sweet old memories
That I shared with you.

I am alone
Lost and lonely.
I am alone
Lost and lonely.

I am terribly moved, Latha.

Handling of 'alone' and 'lonely' is simply marvellous.

Latha said...

Thanks Padmaja! Loneliness actually kills a person. Memories keep haunting lonely minds. It is dangerous too!

It is very very dangerous. Why should someone to feel lonely and lost? There are so many things to be occupied, well loneliness does need want that though!

Well written and wonderful poem Latha.

Radhakrishnan said...

Even I can't write properly this in previous post. I wanted to write like this 'loneliness does not need that though'. :)

I am too much occupied!

Latha said...

Thanks for your comments Mr. Radhakrishnan. When there is lost love in the heart, mind cannot concentrate on anything how much ever busy that person may be otherwise. That is what I tried to bring out. May be you are very busy and that is one way good for you. Assuming a scenario, I wrote this poem.

True, I agree. I was replying on philosophical note to that thought. Thank you Latha.
