Loneliness Poem by Pradiptakumar Mohanty

When the alchemy of love
Yields to the pangs of infidelity
Some bitter feelings of forlornness
Arise from a heavy heart

In pursuit of material possession
Forsaking social nexuses
Develops a tendency to bury human emotions
Deepens a sense of solitude

Craze for nuclear family
Recedes the circle of relations
Piles an extra stress on thought
Confining the psyche in the sphere of desolation

Approach to modern living
With busy schedule of work
Distances friends and associates
Drifts life into the peril of depression
Making waves on mind
And inviting the wrath of loneliness.
