Alone, to be alone

I called out, my echo answered back.......

Alone, 

to be alone, 

disconnected from the noise, 

to have the peace from the silence.  

alone, 

isolated alone, 

disconnected from the touch of a lover's hand, 

starving for her presence by myself in a room.  

Shadows are my friends, 

they never leave, 

while the light is on. 

Split mind, 

split heart, 

split vision, 

unstable staggering, 

free fall, 

into the unknown. 

alone, 

I am alone, 

we are alone, 

am I missed, 

while my heart misses her. 

I call out, 

there is none other voice, 

to return but my own. 

alone, 

I am drinking alone, 

tears satisfy my thirst. 

In the darkness of the early morning, 

I mourn this isolation. 

alone, 

alone I write, 

alone without her, 

alone I will pass on into tomorrow, 

hopefully she is there.......

just in the right time, melancholia is also in my chest and seeing your words actually give me a bit of comfort. there is something about listening to sad music that eases a sad heart. and your poems is a soothing balm to my sore heart. each night like this, i ask 'what did i do wrong.' maybe there was something i did or didn't do, but it all comes up blank. thus, i retreat into poetry.

Ern my dude, great minds think alike you are not alone in how you feel I am going through a weird manic melancholy mood, I rush into poetries strong tower and lock myself away in it's soothing chambers

Every one says true to be your self. Be natural genuine. So i am just telling you what i feel.
Do or die i believe
Short cuts never lead you to
You can try and fail but dont try to fail
I believe in truth honesty innocent rather than guilty false dishonest because what is that life when you bluff others.

I know in Bhagavad gita it says you can do wrong when you are protecting right dharma, tell a lie to protect a person from dying.
But it also says never hurt innocent(ahimsa paramodharmaha). This is what i believe. Our law is based on it, protect one innocent though few guilty may escape.

You should be honest to your heart who is real thief.

It is fine if you kill guilty to protect innocent but shed blood of innocent to pfotect guilty. I think that is why the return of jesus, or ayyan ayyappan or kalki or in quran talks about the last judgement.

Hope you got what i am trying to say.

Happy 2nd of December Dave.

Thank you so very much for your kinds words, I am on an emotional journey with it's highest highs and lowest chasms, The only way I am finding to keep my sanity is to write and write and write, till I have written all of my heart and there are now more tears to weep, then on the flip of a dime, I am joy flooded to heavens heights, oh sweet peace I long for you so.

Isolation can be a healing, but it can also bring many more tears that we just cannot stop from pouring out...and whether there is healing or not....who knows?

Who knows indeed, it's weird to learn things about your self you never knew before, I am back to being a student when I thought I graduated and moved on.
