The Venom Of Loneliness Poem by Asif Andalib
The Venom Of Loneliness
Loneliness is biting me like a cobra
Its venom is killing me bit by bit
Now I have become something like an animal
I don't bathe, wash my face and brush my teeth
Regularly
It seems without you I will die like a street dog
I don't comb my hair, Put on clean clothes,
Go out for a walk and do any job
Regularly
I can't concentrate on anything
I no more like to write, dance and sing
I spend sleepless nights like the rats and bats
I fall asleep in the morning like night guards
I startle hearing ring of my phone thinking it's from you
I keep on wondering why it's happening to me more and more
I am like a flower in a garden and you are like a butterfly
I wait for you all day long day after day
My beautiful petals fall one-by-one
My sweet smell is carried away by rain and wind
But you do not come, my friend
Wow, your words flow like magic even though you sound heartbroken.
lonely wont leave me alone... only we can change this. your words flow like a mountain stream.
Great piece of work. Thank you for sharing it with us. E.K.L.
Nice poem it comes from the heart.. I love this line Loneliness is biting me like a cobra Its venom is killing me bit by bit
hey there, thank you for inviting me to read your poem. I do like the imagery you use so that the reader can have a tangible connection to the pain in your words. I enjoyed the poem, some imagery more than others, but that's not to say the other imagery was strong, there were just some lines I could relate to on a personal level..which is exactly what a writer strives for...the connecton..so, good job! ! ! I am not new to this site, but haven't been on it in so long..so if you happen to see 2 cathy clough's with the same poems on their site, they are both mine, ]]
Sweet are the uses of adversity, observation of greatest bard. Thanks for sharing
