As dark as a Night Stalker - A Sad Poem

On Loneliness

This was my first idea of the poem On Loneliness which has afflicted me for over a year. a friend i met on fb urged me to express my thoughts in writing. Thus, a very big help for me for i did have an outlet for my gushing emotions. I rephrased it for I have published the poem on my other site: http://raciniwa.blogspot.com

As dark as a night stalker
Snatching every glimmer of hope,
like a dark cloud
marring the sun's last light

As brutal as an executioner
pounding and mashing my core bits
Angel of Death blowing a death spell
like a plague inflicting anguish everywhere...

please depart
I beseech you
I want to succumb to this malady

I want to forget my misery
I want you to let me be

I want to wake up from island of lurid dreams...

I want to kiss
the sun’s rays
I want smile to seal my lips
I want the butterfly

To flutter in my heart

Liberate me,

relinquish your claws on me...

Then I can gladly utter
that the dark clouds

Are not ominous and foreboding
and I can cheerfully
remove the cumbersome

Onus of darkness
Thus the only reprieve for this...

Is the time when you
unlock the shackles
And let me soar towards

perfect tranquility...

Note: Loneliness is a real issue for people who suffered losses and separation with their significant other. It was a very heavy feeling, going on with day today activity seemed an insurmountable task, very daunting.
