A Close Walk With Loneliness Poem by Gerald Shareez

House filled by all my friends,

Clad in all imaginable cloth trends,

Drinking sprees, dancehall dances,

Each take with repeated chances,

Watching the best thing i can,

Done a few cold beer cans,

One feeling cannot just leave,

Deep in me without relieve.


I try to run all the way,

As a shadow there to stay,

Too intact to cause a hurt,

Though still there in my heart,

Little help can you offer,

The distance not a chopper,

Can initiate our meeting,

To stop this heart's bleeding.


A bitter friend i have close,

Came with no purpose,

Here to stay for long,

And not to go even with a song,

Hand in hand am forced,

Each day a loose bridge crossed,

Loneliness weighing me down,

Come save me from a traggic drown.
