Loneliness Poem by Leonard Dabydeen
Loneliness
She creeps around my room
lulling any sound whispering
in the creak of my chair
or the opening of a cabinet
watching and listening
like a hawk perched for flight
then she comes into my mind
with a hug and a kiss
loving me for who I am
and who I want to be
or who I have become
then she tickles me
in the vulnerability of my soul
stirring me into life
and I begin to let my keyboard play
like a piano of my dreams
as I play a song for her to sleep
while I sift through my world
like a spider’s web
trapped in the loneliness
of bountiful joy and happiness.
hmmm....wow....i like! ! ! ...its as if i can see it playing out in front of me...as i read..vivid.
Loneliness, how to describe it? What is that it is composed of, that it constitutes it?
What a touchy beautiful musical poem! What tenderness of a lullaby!
Like a hawk perched for flight! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
This is a very clever Poem, loneness is defined as a female. Great construction.
This is like saying 'I can never be alone with my solitude....'...wow leonard! ! ! ....your loneliness or rather should I say your 'Aloneness' is sparkling...Few of us are as blessed as you are....never read a more joyous poem on loneliness :))) Sri.
