SOLITUDE COME AND TALK TO ME

SOLITUDE COME AND TALK TO ME

 

Chocolate is my favorite

But solitude is sweeter than it

It is in solitude

Sweet memories toddle towards me

 

Vine is my favorite drink

But solitude is more delicious

It is in solitude

Those intoxicating memories flood my veins

 

Cycling is my favorite hobby

But solitude is more exhilarating

It is in the solitude, I see

Futile, trivial cycles of life lay scattered around me

 

Sweet heart is my favorite chum

But solitude is chummier than it

It is in solitude

I hear my heart throbbing for my sweet heart

 

Teaching is my favorite duty

But solitude is more informative

It is in solitude

I become aware that I too am a student

 

Solitude is my favorite dish

Solitude is my favorite drink

Solitude is my favorite company

Solitude is my favorite book

Without having it, tasting it

I cant live in this world

 

Oh solitude, you are a foreigner

To this noisy world

For them you are a mad cap

Who should be chased and expatriated

 

A world wedded to din

And making love with pandemonium

Will never love you…

 

So visit me stealthily

Before they detect you and profile you.

Give me lessons from your inexhaustible

Expository of wisdom, my dear solitude…!!!!

So far, out of the poems I have read from you, this is my favorite! I love how you compare solitude to all your favorite things and then at the end there is the realization of how precious and endangered it is. I like the sense of joy in the beginning and the sense of yearning at the end. Very nicely done!!

Well done! The flow or words, and the repetition of words are amazing.

Interesting.. the repetition was a bit too much for me I think, but otherwise, it was great. Is vine supposed to be wine?

I like when the house is quiet. I write deep into the morning while everybody is asleep. I like the solitude when I can find it. I like this poem. I understand the times we must be busy. But the pleasure of time to think is my favorite times. A excellent poem.
