Stripping Loneliness Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Stripping Loneliness

Rating: 5.0


Like a nightmare when it came in my life,
I felt it too much and cried with tears,
Gradually it started striping in the dark,
Killing my worries and uncalled fears,

Like anappealing and charming beloved,
Loneliness when unveiled her smiling face,
Spread silky hairs on my restless thoughts,
I saw my soul enlighten with a grace,

And when I looked in her starry eyes,
In a pin drop silence heard heavenly rings,
Beingvanished in her magic arms,
I found I can fly by using her wings,

When I put my lips on her rosy cheeks,
Saw myself walking on the Milky way,
I saw stairs of a blue color light,
Putting a step on itI became a ray,

Loneliness hasn't stripped completely,
Still there are few who break the silence,
I am waiting for the day when it's a nude,
Loneliness! I love your ecstatic elegance,

Traveling with a speed of light I fly,
Where I go, do not know but sure,
I'm destined to an enchanting place,
Where there I'll become an allure.

Sweetheart! Please leave me alone,
Let me live with her in the total dark,
Loneliness is shy it will not stripe,
I'm still an explosive and you a spark!

does no reader but i feel Akhtar means stripping, as in taking clothing off oneself..or another, and not striping, as in making stripes, like in the U.S. flag's red & white stripes? ? ! or am i mistaken? OR is it a British English spelling? (cont.)

Akhtarda, WHY DID I, BRI, SEND A COMMENT ABOUT PAPPA! ? HA HA. IT IS IN REFERENCE TO MY USE OF PAPPA IN A PREVIOUS COMMENT WHICH I/OR PH LOST. bri ;) to MyPoemList, of course, though i'm not totally clear on the meaning. i'd use a capitalized Earth when referring to the/'our' planet. bri :)

(cont.) n. father,1680s, from French papa, from Latin papa, originally a child's word, cf. Greek pappa (vocative) o father, pappas father, pappos grandfather. The native word is daddy; first use of papa was in courtly speech, as a continental affectation, not used by common folk until late 18c.

(cont.) but the last stanza baffles me. who/what is Sweetheart? ? it sounds like Sweetheart and Loneliness are NOT the same in the old person's mind. hmm? ? and please change striping to stripping or explain to me WHY you used striping/stripe. this is very poetic, but..... bri :)
