The thundering clouds and moaning rain
Saddening my heart and deepening pain
The darkening night had shut me in
To seek a friendly soul in vain
Walking and talking with the walls
One might say that I was insane
Of such a biting loneliness
Throbbing heart suffered from the strain
My friendliness is on the wane
With people crowded in my lane
So often with some friend of mine
Somewhere else is my teeming brain
I ponder over my own plans
Of my own schemes I make a chain
Is it my absent-mindedness?
Or loneliness I entertain
When I am so lost in my thoughts
Any intruder I disdain
In slumber sweet I see my dreams
Those unto myself I retain
My aspirations and day dreams
Those unto myself I detain
Is it my sheer selfishness?
Or loneliness that I sustain
I lonely feel while I am sad
For something that I cannot gain
I lonely feel while I am mad
With depression I can't restrain
Sent to the earth I was alone
So loneliness is my fountain
And when I leave the earth alone
In loneliness I will remain
What a lovely poem! I must disagree with you though sir. We are never alone even when we most feel lonely because I believe where there is a man who has no voice even the shadows are singing. When we feel loneliest that is when we have even more loving otherworldly supporters surrounding us. We just cannot feel their presence but trust me they are there. You being a deep lover of God know that aside from that even God is always with us. Closest to us when we are crying and feeling so desperately alone. I've been reading your poems. I think I have read half of what you have on here in but this one setting in front of my computer. I love your cadence and the happy up lifting nature of your muse. You've a delightful spirit in which you write. I find I am infatuated with your words. Do keep sharing. Would be a criminal act of you to stop posting them. Plus that would make me cry no fair! most sincere fan , Melissa Lundeen
