LONELINESS HAUNTS!


In a world so wide,
Where waits for none do time and tide,
You step out of your house,
And find people around you like mouse,
In a sea of humans are you engulfed,
And yet, your spirit is so dulled.

Life at its normal pace does go,
Your aspiration, your dreams on the zenith do flow,
Achieving them, the only thing you aspire,
Don’t care how much for it you perspire
To millions of people you talk,
Greet them with a pretty smile as by them you walk.
Sit with many, jokes you crack,
Laugh with them, till your breath you get back.

Call people, and for hours on phone,
share you experience, your pains be told,
Walk to the neighbours,
Updated with the gossip latest,
Hear them all with breath bated.

Many hours a day, where ever you live,
Wherever you go, all you do is socialize,
and yet, hours you drive,
At home you arrive,
In a corner you sit, after the lantern you lit,
And the thing your mind which haunts,
Is loneliness, which no one wants.

In a sea of folks,
Droplets around you whooshes and croaks,
But know not you, what you want,
The drop you want is always the farthest.
At last, what to heart does haunt,
Is just the loneliness that lies deep beyond.
