Me And My Loneliness Poem by Md. Ziaul Haque

Why do I feel alone?
When I like Emily Dickinson am not on my own,
I can find myself amid others,
Hearing the words, receiving smiles.

Why do I feel alone?
Having heartbeats as faithful companion,
And the moon's affection for me,
As felt by Hemingway's Old Man, with the waves of the sea.

Why do I feel alone?
When the bad days are gone,
The present has presented possibilities, many,
Asking for being utilised properly.

Why do I feel alone?
With the parents' love and affection,
And the blessings of those aged ones,
Those are pure like honey devoid of puns.

Why should I feel alone?
After sieving the elements that my thoughts have shown,
Isolation of Emperor Jones and Kurtz sprang from misdeeds,
Yet at times loneliness' company human heart badly needs.
