Marooned Mariner Poem by Valsa George
Marooned Mariner
Marooned in the island of loneliness
Shadows of delusion confront me
In a stormy sea, I got ship wrecked
And the sea has robbed everything from me
What unanticipated change comes over
When people let one down
What shocking realization it is
To know that there is nobody around to care
I am now a drying brook
That has once been a river in spate
A deflated balloon, unable to soar high
A blind bird that cannot see a dawn
Nor sing a song to wake the sleeping world
I bear scars like the deep cuts
On an ill maintained tarmac road
Vacantly I look into the far horizon
When the broken shards of moonlight
Paint pictures of dark demons around me
As a bird that with nightfall returns
To a tree to call out its solitude to the stars
I sit here alone, alone, alone,
Not knowing to whom shall I call out!
Will the stars keep me company?
Tomorrow should I go into exile or wake up
With the hope that my pain will go into remission
And my frozen inside will thaw by itself in time
Loneliness- an allowed devil or result of traumatic cause, wakes up the heart of a solitude person to jot down a couplet of the kind. In one such stance did I write a piece of work Moaning Board Get well soon dear Mam!
A beautiful poem expressing the pain deep inside. Wish you a speedy recovery.
but on poem hunter you can depend we are all like Kipling's the thousandth man you can read or you can write and your loneliness will soon take flight
Sometimes from recuperative moments like this poem describes, emerges the most beautiful and sweet fruit: and this poem is the example! A heart-warming write!
I am sorry that I could not read this poem earlier. You met an accident somewhere in March/April,2016 but I came to know it, today when I read the poet's note of this touching poem. Hope you are now perfectly all right. May God bless you!
Hoping that you already have recovered i do notice here that your vivid world of the large vocabulary is a world of itself which helps even us far away to get into that world of the scenaries depicted by your pen.I do feel obliged to it, dear lady.
So happy and thankful to you Dimitrios sir for this lovely comment and great acknowledgement !
Often the feelings of loneliness and desolation take hold of us when we feel marooned and forsaken and this feeling has been so very beautifully verbalised in this immensely lovely poetic narration; culminating on a hesitant positive note. A very lovely write indeed, Valsa. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Excellent write Valsa! It conveys a sense of loneliness v effectively. The imagery used throughout the poem is absolutely beautiful. Words come from the depths of heart making the reader feel the pain of loneliness in all its intensity. Full of poetic beauty, this is one of my favorite poems from you. A plus.
