Alone?!

Albert's Poetry Cafe ~ "Ten Words with Tovli ~ write an acrostic�the ten words must appear in order and must be the �target� word of the acrostic: I am a man in love with the setting stars

 

I’m here alone…

 

Am I by myself in here?

 

A mosquito is flying zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

            Ready to suck my blood

            Someone is snoring rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

            Music is playing la la la lala

            A car passing in the street brrrrrrrrr

            Footsteps in the road tac tac tac

 

Man, can I be alone at anytime?

In here there is no space to be alone

 

Love, this world is too full of life

With too much of everything

 

The madness of trying to control insanity

Setting values and rules for anything

            Mosquito’s zzzzzzzzzzzzz and cars brrrrrrrrr

            Snoring rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and music la la lala

            Footsteps in the dark or in the day light

           

Stars just laugh: ah ah eh eh ih ih!

Well Written. Where is blessed silence? Nowhere!

Great work. The stars laugh at us as we lament or celebrate loneliness. The moment that so quickly disappears is filled with love and life. Indeed all we have to do is pay attention.

I am going to read more of your work. Glad I found you.

The ever-present sounds of every day life. Can we ever truly feel alone in a city? I think not. An interesting, creative take on this subject matter. Thanks for sharing,
