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.

I really liked this:) I can totally relate to what's being said, and I think a lot of people can.

To be happy and content amongst other people, we have to feel the same when alone; someone else came up with that - makes a lot of sense to me. I'm more than happy to be alone. especially outdoors - seems there's only the best things there, freedom mostly - and the weather either helps to wash or blow away worries, even briefly .. or the sun warms the heart as hearing and sight strengthen to what's around one. But there again, sharing with another person is beautiful too .. maybe finding a balance is best .. not sure. See, your poem's made me think and that's a compliment to the poet. Thank you.

An opinion that I live my life by when i'm not working i'm wanting to unwind often alone with a glass of wine and this poem is a great expression of the joy our own company can often bring thank you for sharing

100/100 as always

This was a lovely write in my opinion. I completely agree with your opinion on your own company.

I really love this poem.. sometimes solitude is the best healer, sometimes it is the most dangerous drug, but I think we all need it from time to time to regroup and find our own way again. Awesome write!

Huh, gentle. I enjoyed the usage of the semi-colons, i really like how it creates that sentimental flow. This poem is nice and pleasant, I enjoyed it a lot, for the lonely ones, i like it, it's relaxing and comforting

Solitude is being alone with a smile ~
