Bronc-Bonk! Crank-Conk! A Lone Owl On Tree Honks On The Riverbank!

Rating: 4.9


Alone I am, I am mute; alone I am, a red bird hoots in me - a mess!
Alone I am, in my own abyss; alone I am - whispers aching loneliness;
Alone I am, my heart aches; alone I am - empty ache of loneliness;
Alone I am, a crowd surrounds me; alone I am - I walk in aloneness!
Bronc-bonk! Crank-conk! A lone owl on tree honks on the riverbank!

Alone I am, where should I go? Alone I am, what should I do?
Alone I am I don't want to be so lonely; alone I am, what to do?
Alone I opened the gates of my heart; alone I am - none reached out;
Alone I am a lonesome thing; alone I am a stone, a bone - I am out!
Bronc-bonk! Crank-conk! A lone owl on tree honks on the riverbank!

Alone I am, I beg thee loneliness - don't creep into my life;
Alone I am, I implore thee aloofness - don't peep in my life;
Alone I am, I beseech thee loneness - don't peek in to my life.
Alone I am - all the time, round the clock, around the life!
Bronc-bonk! Crank-conk! A lone owl on tree honks on the riverbank!

Alone I am, in deep Pacific Ocean; alone I am, in deepest emotion,
Among the titan stars shivers a Talcott - a pretty little one!
Among the colossal planets quivers a Pluto - disqualified one!
Alone I am in the lotus flowers, alone I am - a lily in hesitation.
Bronc-bonk! Crank-conk! A lone owl on tree honks on the riverbank!

SO heartfelt. the more you stressed about it the theme become bold and bolder, i feel how fears you felt in every line you wrote..ocean and land is the same, separated...see how pacific ocean missed the Hindi ocean, or how it feels for other sea...physically the sea is there in pacific ocean but the soul of ocean is the water..and water move and traveled from one to another, in force with feeling waves...dont chase it to poles yet you will frozen as ice in Artic/Antarctica..free your water soul as it can reach anywhere..wandering all land and shore..calm your feelings, one day you will feel the freshness from river where it will make your saltiness less by it fresh..Be positive my friend, smile more for more hahaha ok? hahahaha_Unwritten SOul

The last stanza captures the poem brilliantly. Home is where the heart is, but I can see that you truly miss your home country. Going home soon, Harry, then your heart can once again rejoice... Till then, you have friends here to fill the emptiness in your mind, but unfortunately we can do nothing about your longing heart. Maybe perhaps give you a thousand smiles - :) + to see you through...
