Lonely heart will…


To leave but silence the only word
Soul but only crowd
Lonely heart will wander by
Plunder and maraud

Will fasten knots to decipher
The mysteries of estrangement
Will submit phoney reasons
To grieve upon and lament

Will forget all its treasons
Once and once again
Let loose the wonderment
Of falsehood and pain…

Lonely heart will thrust to prod,
The leftover of death
Will trust and nod – the lonely heart
To whatever its breath

And no one will ever know…
Lonely heart will flourish by…
In loneliness will grow

To say a sound of silence
To listen to mute hullo!
To freeze the time in history
To resent to travel and go…

Lonely heart will often cry
Will giggle and applaud
Lonely heart will try to speak,
Will fail and shout aloud
To leave but silence the only word
Soul but only crowd…

Great effort Farah. Reading this poem reminds me of a similar corner inside myself where the same feelings prevail sometimes. You can actually affect someone by seeing one's inside that one doesn't want to.....
