Alone Poem by Bob Gibson

Alone

Rating: 5.0


Alone with people all around
Alone with friends i have not found
A satelite among the stars
As far as jupiter is from mars

Alone with thoughts i can not share
Alone with people who do not care
I'm the missing link from the chain
No one cares or see's my pain

Alone with dreams of long ago
Alone in a place where lovers go
A beautiful song the sounds of love
Lifted my heart like the wings of a dove

Alone in my mind, was i just feeling down?
Alone in a city, and a strange town
Driving home, a familiar sight
Her open arms in my headlight

Its terrible to be alone But its equally terrible to be in love Both have their edges Pointed on the heart and mind. Which one is better, if anyone asks - I find both are same. One gives full freedom in expectations Another puts in apathy of considerations. Universal concept, beautifully worded. Thank you.

It's sad that we can feel alone when we're in a room with alot of people and yet we don't care what each other are going through because we all have our own problems and don't want other people problems, but we don't realize our problems are the reason everyone else has problems cause we do things that effect each other whether for the good or the bad we're all in this together and we need to realize that before we won't feel so alone in the world, but then again it would makes us feel even more alone, but it's all good.

Nice work with the muse of loneliness; but, with hope.

Being 'alone' all contained in one poem, with a fantastic redeeming end line! I find the poem connects to readers as the similar emotions you related here all touch us in a way, and the style simply effective because of such relevance. Crafty verse presentation and perfect rhyme, (wish I could write like this) and of course, the menaing of the poem is true.10++++++++
