A Description Of Loneliness A Poem


I wrote this poem three years ago. It is not my present mood so much as it lurks and presents itself fairly often.

A Description of Loneliness

I cannot find the words to express,
My feelings of loneliness,
I know for I have tried,
And failed.
An abyss comes close,
But still that attempt
Is abysmal at best.

I am thinking the description
Could include water,
But not an infinity pool,
No, that is way too cool.
I was thinking more along
The lines of the Marianas Trench
Way out in the Pacific Ocean,
It has unknown depths
That have yet to be explored.
Aha...that is quite accurate.
But still way down there..
Where there is no light
Fom the sun,
Where there is no oxygen
Some lifeforms manage to live.

So many songs have been
Written about loneliness
It should have its own genre,
So many other people have
Described their version
And they might have been
Much more exact.
Mine is just the latest attempt
Of a lonely character
To make sense of her hollowness.

Independently Romantic Sounds Better Than Lonely

Hi I really liked your poem. You have thought loneliness through and you do have a nice knack to express it in words that hit home for many people i bet. You have sweet words and expressed well.

It's not hard to be
alone.It's not
likely something
one sets out to
do.There are
many who help
others reach
that goal.They
smell that fear,
they goad their
prey with angelic
praise and regale
us with their
presence long
enough til the
loneliness wanes.
Days of bliss
soon arrive our
hearts dance to a
lively vibe that all
but chases even the
wispiest clouds away.
We're wise not to
forget what being
alone meant and who we're
with merely picks up
anothers lonliness
scent and takes
our once guarded
heart just to
eat on their way.

Loneliness ages us in so manys
but it's the fear of desperation that chases
any chance of rescue from coming our way.

Using more than all the road!

You brought about another aspect of loneliness how others might be afraid of someone else's seemingly almost desperation. Yikes. That is scary. It is like a dog that can smell our fear if we are afraid of dogs. I hope that someone can offer me a few less pangs of loneliness someday. Thank you for your comment. Hugs!

Today, in the 21st century , how is it possible to even feel alone?! [With the exception of being locked in solitary].

If you were to time travel, to 1518 , bring back to 2018 one of those people from 1518, and tell them , "This is my world I live in, and I'm feeling loneliness", they would think first you're a witch, but their second thought, would be something like, "How is loneliness even possible for you".

Seriously now... a person feeling lonely, alone, today, is just not trying. Or they are indeed lost in the little wilderness we have left, or in a boat , alone, in the middle of the ocean.

I know that I do need to be alone in my thoughts quite a bit of the time. However, I would also like to share experiences. I used to take care of my Mother. I was with her 24 hours a day. I miss that sharing. Some might say they have a husband or girlfriend who offers the same level of sharing. I have not had that experience in my life. This makes me sad. It is that simple. I miss sharing a laugh at stupid things on the TV. I miss laughing with someone over my dogs antics. I miss talking to someone about anything. You see that was the kind of relationship I had with my Mother. She was my best friend. I have sisters who frankly did not have that same level of connectedness with our Mother. They now wished they did. But they had families of their own and I did not. This lack has me feel such angst at times I can hardly stand it. I don't know why I am writing this to your comment. I know you are one of the least compassionate and understanding of people I have ever encountered. Kudos for you for being so self centered which you think is strength. Just being honest. I think a hug would be lost on you. How is that for an idea for a poem?

Have you never heard the saying ' the loneliest place in the world can be a crowded rroom'.

Just like yourself, I was a carer.
I often felt alone but not lonely.
Life may have treated me fairer.
I don't look back, forward only.

========================
Could be a good poem, however, you are feeling too hurt within to consider what I may have interpreted from your poem. So you bolt to defensiveness.

There are people you can contact. They might not be on the same wavelength as you and your mom, but they can be compassionate, and probably share humorous situations with you.

If the average person wants to be alone and wants to feel loneliness, that person is trying very hard to keep that feeling going.

"Marianas Trench
Way out in the Pacific Ocean,
It has unknown depths"

Great comparison and allusion.

Thoughts in sensual pleasure to erotic writing writ.
