Loneliness Poem by Leonard Dabydeen
Loneliness
She creeps around my room
lulling any sound whispering
in the creak of my chair
or the opening of a cabinet
watching and listening
like a hawk perched for flight
then she comes into my mind
with a hug and a kiss
loving me for who I am
and who I want to be
or who I have become
then she tickles me
in the vulnerability of my soul
stirring me into life
and I begin to let my keyboard play
like a piano of my dreams
as I play a song for her to sleep
while I sift through my world
like a spider’s web
trapped in the loneliness
of bountiful joy and happiness.
hmmm....wow....i like! ! ! ...its as if i can see it playing out in front of me...as i read..vivid.
your loneliness unlike mine is not dull and drab and gloomy but very well sketched and appears to be appealing.....................
Loneliness, how to describe it? What is that it is composed of, that it constitutes it?
What a touchy beautiful musical poem! What tenderness of a lullaby!
Like a hawk perched for flight! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
This is a very clever Poem, loneness is defined as a female. Great construction.
This is like saying 'I can never be alone with my solitude....'...wow leonard! ! ! ....your loneliness or rather should I say your 'Aloneness' is sparkling...Few of us are as blessed as you are....never read a more joyous poem on loneliness :))) Sri.
