I Am The Only Loner Poem by Afzal Juneja

That day, i wanted a shoulder to wail like never before.
Then, i realize that I am the only loner on that rainy shore.

That day, my dreams were fading out with the brutality of rain.
that's when i desperately needed someone besideme to say, 'dear, give me all of your pain'.

That day, i truly wanted to perish my own existence.
Then, i really understood why do they say ''Love is a life's essence''.
.

.
Tonight, the table has turned,
On the same rainy shore,
With the similar lightening in the sky,
With the similar tears,
Not of defeat but of victory in my eyes.
With the similar droplets hitting my palm,
Just my perception of brutality changed to blessings.
With the similar scent of rain,
but blended with marvellous scent of success.
This time i keenly wanted to hug someone so tight like never before,
Then again, i realize that
am the only loner on this stormy shore.
Yeah, the only loner on this stormy shore.
