Loneliness Poem by Haritha Nair

Loneliness

Rating: 5.0


When the winds are blowing
And the leaves are rustling,
Sits a lonely near the window-pane,
In that temple of nostalgia where the forces lean.

There is mocking,
There is pungence,
There is chirping,
There is vengeance.

But something seems to be silent
And someone seems to be violent
From deep within where the life lies
Lies the life in that someone
Only in that someone does the life lie
The life of truth, which by conveyance seems false
But false is the reality that seems to be true
Truth is the loneliness which seems to be false.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
After changing the school in which I was learning since 10 years, the new school seems a place just for nostalgia. I have changed my state but my heart is still in that somewhere, I love to be. Being a sensitive, empathetic person has given me nothing but loneliness. This is a poem written by my loneliness. Sitting in the classroom, looking at others enjoy makes me wonder where has my life gone, but still I feel better only because I can recognize false smiles and false enjoyment. People in a competitive world have been raised to be hardworking. They do not see the point in making sincere friends. I am glad that I am not one of them.

In that temple of nostalgia, mocking, pungence, chirping, vengeance. Truth is the loneliness which seems to be false. a very good potrayal of the mental state.. loneliness can be killing. but getting out of it is necessary and one should try for it by winning friends. smile, laugh.. tony
