Loneliness

                                                                                    

                    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
