The Best Poem Of Roger Tannous

All Alone

All alone, I was left all alone.
Facing myself, the darkness of the inner circle.

There, I found every single person I know.
Faces covered, with moving lips, yet only one voice was outstanding.
Who's talking to me?
Am I master playing the whole scene?
Has my imagination become that rude?
Am I made to torture myself?

Here, it's dark, it's cold. The wind blows from all sides. This is insane!
Do those people have the answers?
I asked the chaotic crowd where I am, they said: It is You!

I lit up the candle in the middle. Only black and white collide.
A soft music started playing, those faces started turning round and round.
The circle is broken!
Now every two are dancing, and once again, I was left all alone.

Far away are only clouds, gathered closely all around.
The circle scene is reproduced in vapor schemes; I'm so confused!
Who dares going there with me?
People suddenly stopped, the circle is back again!
No shadows are left!
With voices aloud, I could only understand: It's scary outside!

Echoes crossing with every call,
Some names fading, some ‘re still coming around.
What an enchanting melody!

Once again, I was left all alone.
In this darkness I found no hope.
I played the blind's game.
Same footprint all over the scary circle!

And back to the center, the candle is no more there!
Somebody get me out of here!
