When You Are Alone, Single And Deserted Poem by Pranayee Rachamalla

When You Are Alone, Single And Deserted

Rating: 5.0


When you are alone,
single, deserted or lonely at home
when the climate is silent and calm without any sound
or when you feel that there is no one around,
then when you can experience
presence of darkness and the dark night's essence,
even the tick-ticks of the clock can be heard,
along with the sounds of cricket that never goes tired;
When you are scared or frightened
hair-raised, afraid, tensed or panicked,
at that same time when you hear breeze knocking your door
and the staring of the big eyed owls makes you scared and bore,
the pressure and force of the wind make your curtains fly
and feel that someone tiptoeingly following thy
and your tubelight starts a game with you
getting on and off and on and off and you have nothing to do
then when you hallucinate different images, shadows and voices
and when you badly need someone's presence,
because it is a dark midnight
and your sleep has gone out of the sight;
so, close your windows and doors
and also switch off all the lights with gusto,
Switch on the television, close your eyes
till you can hear your heart-beat, whatever it may say,
Switch on to a horror movie,
increase the volume, then i'm sure and i promise
it's true that you'll never feel that you are alone
or you are the only one at home!

Perhaps you have found a medicine for curing loneliness at midnight....but I would appreciate your concern about loneliness.....this is a problem since time immemorial....and the cure lies in the feeling that you are not lonely at any point of time...

i have seen people who are scared of night, actually this poem is for fun, that when we do such things at night, like switching on a horror movie and all we naturally feel some supernatural force present there, i just wanted to write a poem make it a fun, thank you sir for reading my poem!
