Lonely Poem by Alf Hutchison
Lonely
No-one now to share your dreams,
To walk beside those mountain streams,
To hold your ailing, trembling hand,
To write sweet nothings in the sand;
No-one to whisper “I love you”,
To keep you warm the winter through,
To share with you first buds of spring,
To show their love in a wedding ring.
No-one at home for you to say,
“I missed you my love, at work today”
To sit together at evening meal,
To tell each other just how you feel,
No-one there to forgive you gladly,
All those times you behaved so badly,
To visit your own sweet secret place,
Suspended somewhere in time and space.
No-one knows how much you cared,
Just you two and the time you shared,
Memories now left of bygone years,
The good times, bad, and all the tears.
No-one realizes just how lonely,
When ‘we two’… becomes ‘me only’,
God loans us soul mates, for a fleeting while,
Through His loving Grace…once again we’ll smile.
after all journey is from alonenessss to aloneness..................a good write.................
This is just beautiful Alf, you have captured the loneliness of losing someone. I lost my husband 2 1/2 years ago and it is very hard to keep oneself occupied and not dwell on the sad side of life. I felt every verse of this lovely poem. I hope it isn't written from personal loss, if so, I do sympathize with you, it is an awful split and as you say there is no-one to give your news too or ask their opinion of something anymore. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
The romantic loneliness is well expressed. Very simply. Without tears and excesses. We all want to reach out to such a person and say, 'Don't worry. We are here to admire the workings of your mind'. Perhaps it helps to know, that even if you are alone, you are not alone in this world.
A very tender and loving write Alf and a lovely tribute to a lifes partner.....10+
All good things have an end. To live until one’s own end is unfortunate. The poem says it all. Very good.
very lovely poem indeed, that can touch many hearts.. loneliness can kill a man sir.... and turn him in to a walking corpse.. this is good.... cheers shan
Perhaps the Lord will bless me with a soulmate someday Dad, love you so much! Moo
Alf, A Lovely poem full of longing, full of love which I enjoyed reading. Bob
Your message is delivered with such sweet tenderness that the emotion of loss wells up from the very first line written Alf. For those with a soulmate, may your message bring the importance of patience and loving care before it is too late. I can only say to be loved like this is what we all live for - G-d Bless you...
