To The Lonely Ones

Expensive treats
From me to my eyes
Souls around - no one by my side
Feeling inspired by the words of the wind
Blinking without worrying
If I seem to be flirting -
Only if I was -
Narcissus-like

Smiling, never a failure
I hide from opinions.
Crying, never a shame
I share my thoughts
With the weeping rain.
Just for today, maybe tomorrow
And a lifetime long.

And I need no words to
Understand what I want -
Solitude always gets me.

We don't need to change;
To the lonely ones -
One silent toast
Digging out our phobia
Making it less scary -
Never hypocritical, just the essential -
grab your individuality, never let go
and let's live our humble royalty

Alone - the joy shall remain -
To the lonely ones;
The greatest sense
of togetherness comes from
our creative minds
No one to be rude or polite with -
Just our personal insights.

Author's Note

To the lonely ones. It says all. :)

P.S.: I know we need people in our lives, etc, etc. I'm not trying to say 'close yourself to the world' or anything. Just a toast to the happiness that can be reached while in our own company.

I lost two brothers to suicide. Took me three years to desire to be around anyone. In the end we need friends and family. I understand this poem. I roam the world and the USA for three year till my friends brought me back to real life. It is cool to be alone. I like the quiet times. But I miss hearing my grandsons running and laughter also. Last line is very true. A outstanding poem. Open the doors to many questions.

The chorus should totally be:
"To the lonely ones;
The greatest sense
of togetherness"
P.S. Do flirt with us the lonely ones. Haha!

I really love my family and my friends as well. But there are times in our lives that we have to be alone so we can reflect and think of the many things that's happening. There's no harm being by yourself, sometimes, it's what we need :) nice poem!

You have done a "bang-up" job describing what all poets must feel That we are our own "best friends" and should be happy with ourselves as well as with others.
A wonderful poem this keep writing I enjoy your work, even if I am lax in ansering your writes. Thanks for sharing for caring,

a very good thought...I imagined it before but I never put it in my poetry. Good work indeed!

[Shalini Dinesh (Poet's ..]

Loneliness is comforting at times but born as a human we all need company to share our joys and sorrows , for
sorrow is halved when shared
joy is doubled when shared.....

a writing for those who feel lonely? a good idea and this in turn makes them happy to read and gives them COMPANY :))

Some good lines, like "I share my thoughts / With the weeping rain" and, "Digging out our phobia" well put.
