The shape of loneliness

myself and me

Walking on the crowded street

like a lost ghost in the forest

try to find its way to the grave

the day without sun

the night without moon

can not sense cold or hot

the temperature of loneliness

undetectable

 

Black is too dark

red is too bloody

yellow is too bright

green is too immature

blue is too deep

the color of loneliness

indefinable

 

Straight line is too thin

curved line is too squiggly

circle is too boring

squire is too simple

irregular is too much

the shape of loneliness

undrawable

    "Me and my Shadow ~ walking down the avenue
    Me and my Shadow ~ All alone and feelin' blue
    And when it's twelve o'clock ~ we climb the stair
    We never knock 'cos nobodies there .......

        Loneliness wears many hats and shows itself in many ways. And it touches everyone sooner or later in one way or another. Better days are coming m&m. Great write.

          Thanks AP. When the loneliness is hard for me to bear, I wrote it. Yes, everything will be fine soon.

          That loneliness can be so debilitating but rest assured it can be endured and can lead to brighter days.
          Good emotive write.

            Loneliness feels like a sticky gum on the shoe, ugly and disturbing. Thank you for reading.

            m&m, I am awed by the power of your poem, the way you use these metaphors of temperature, color, and drawing. So well done.
            And remember, m&m, loneliness is only a temporary affliction, soon to be replaced by joy and happiness!
