I am the lonesome love, aloft in the forlorn heart,
amongst the flashy lust and shrunken idyllic trust.
I dreamed that I was made in the garden of Heaven
to prevail harmony in these charismatic beds of Earth.
But in my mind’s authenticity, I know now who I am;
yet I shine incessantly like the Sun and shed warmth
to all within the midst of their freezing compassion
in the swirling atmosphere of fathomless heartburns.
I never complain of my loneliness to any single heart
but deep down inside, I know how much lonely I am;
I have ghastly insomnia and I am interminably awake,
sometimes my own warmth burns my soul’s memoir.
Yet I don’t remonstrate for I am estranged from all,
I am forlorn and have no one to heal my hearts burn.
I reside in the great height but I have the lowest joy
but still I smolder my heart and dispense love to all.
If you think I am happy then try being me for once,
then I vow, you will never want to be me anymore.
For, I am the lonesome love, aloft in the forlorn heart,
amongst the flashy lust and shrunken idyllic trust.
You have the uncanny ability to arouse deep emotions with your poems. I love your title which was brought alive by the verses that followed. How gifted you are.
Beautiful write. I beleive that you're speaking of hope, Bhuwan. Something that in third world countries is becoming increasing rare. Bless your compassionate heart for the work you do to help others...
This pulls violently on the heart of the reader, Bhuwan. Remember this always and use it to heal your lonely heart..."love is a gift that we give to ourself." No one else can give it to us, they can give us hope, but love is an emotion that comes from within.
Take care,
Sherry
