Harindhar Reddy (Sept/19/1983 / Haliya, Hyderabad, India)
Ding-a-ling! Dingdong Bell! Singalong, 'Loner is a Mourner'! '
All alone, aside, aground, bays an empty soul - nameless,
Afloat, adrift, awash, says an empty ghoul - shameless!
In thoughts - I am lost, tattles an empty vessel - aimless,
I am with me yet all alone, rattles an empty skull - rudderless!
Alone I cried again and again chanting a sullen rhyme -
Ding-a-ling! Dingdong bell! Singalong, 'Loner is a Mourner'!
I talk, I walk yet I lack hope lying in the corner;
Alone in woe: I'm a clumsy, discombobulated flesh;
See! I'm trying to fill a flimsy, distorted mesh;
Lo! I do the donkeywork at a place, yet a sojourner!
Alone I cried again and again chanting a sullen rhyme -
Ding-a-ling! Dingdong bell! Singalong, 'Loner is a Mourner'!
Alone I flew in ruefulness, I, a Ruta graveolens!
I woke and find my soul loitering in woods - dense,
I'm a glider without destination yet a hogwash and trumpery!
I'm a writer with no imagination, yet a nonsense gimcrackery,
Alone I cried again and again chanting a sullen rhyme -
Ding-a-ling! Dingdong bell! Singalong, 'Loner is a Mourner'!
I am an apple pale with no charm, landing alone,
I am a sullen moon in a galaxy of stars, standing alone:
To meet a certain heavy fate - waiting alone for a judgment day,
To pull iron curtain and seal my fate - sighting alone for doomsday,
Alone I cried again and again chanting a sullen rhyme -
Ding-a-ling! Dingdong bell! Singalong, 'Loner is a Mourner'!

'All alone, aside, aground, bays an empty soul – nameless,
Afloat, adrift, awash, says an empty ghoul – shameless!
In thoughts - I am lost, tattles an empty vessel – aimless,
I am with me yet again all alone rattles an empty skull – rudderless! '
An empty soul, an empty ghoul, a empty vessel and an empty skull, What a vivid presentation of the loneliness. Oh my god! I never come across such a poem on loneliness. Hey poet you it is new trend from you. I like it by heart, by soul and every other way! Simply fantabulous work by you....................
am an apple pale with no charm, landing alone,
I am a sullen moon in a galaxy of stars, standing alone,
Those are ethereal lines...one of your best writes to read undoubtedly
