Pain And Pleasures Of Loneliness Poem by Khairul Ahsan
Pain And Pleasures Of Loneliness
In some moments of loneliness,
Our soul unfolds like rose petals
And spreads fragrance all around.
In some moments of loneliness,
Tears gather in the eyes but do not drop
Just disappear like tea cup smoke,
Far away, up into the skies,
To return someday as rain to soothe our eyes.
In some moments of loneliness,
Words wander at will on a pensive mind,
While the heavens stand guard not to disturb
A poet's wandering thoughts.
In some moments of loneliness,
Pain permeates through the grieving heart
Yet he feigns to wear a smile of happiness
Until all the onlookers depart.

But the pain we feel when we realize that there is nobody to care for us and we are left lonely in life is so severe and also very depressing! You have beautifully brought in the dichotomy of pain here! A 10
'You have beautifully brought in the dichotomy of pain here! ' - Thanks for this kind appreciation, Valsa. Much inspired.
Loneliness has its painful as well as happy side! Amid a madding crowd, how we long to be lonely.....! Once when we are back to our own attic where we can shed all formalities and be ourselves, what a relief we feel. One enjoys peace of mind and happiness then! It will also give us the opportunity to do things of our choice without external intervention!
Thanks for your elaborate comment on my poem, Valsa George. Much appreciate your thoughtful words.
Khairul, totally identify with this poem, wanting to be alone to write without interruption, a choice that is made. Yet, being alone because others do not want to stay with you brings only the pain of loneliness. It is an anomaly to be sure. Thank you for sharing through a very telling poem. RoseAnn
Thanks for your reading and the inspiring comment you left here, @Roseann Shawiak.
Khairul I can fully appreciate the dichotomy represented in your poem. One chooses to live in solitude when composing words for a novel or poetry, however the choice is a bittersweet pill to swallow. Terrance Tracy
