Traffic sounds, a whisper in the trees
I realize that these
are sounds of my loneliness

tears crashing upon my hands
heart tightened with restricting bands
signs of my loneliness

a soft sigh sounds so loud
in the middle of a noisy crowd
need feeds my loneliness

wondering in my mind
if love is truly blind
distance increases my loneliness

You have penned a beautiful piece describing the thundering pain of lonliness in this.  Yes even in the quietest moments of lonliness the noise in our brains and our souls can be overpowering.

Hi Poet deVine,

Yes, loneliness is a painful thing, similar in some respects to heartbreak. I wish you all the best, my friend.

Take care,
Michael

Poet deVine,
Nobody knows how lonely you are. I think they wrote a song about that. Beautiful poem.

Hi Miss Poet deVine,

Such a sad poem, to me you are such a main figure in this place of passions I might have taken for grant you are human and so very, very special a soul to me, and if this is not how you feel just posted it, I still mean what I said you Miss Poet deVine would be sorely missed even without your responciabiltys here and I think everyone would agree but personal companionship is one of grate need to and I hope for you the best.

Love, Cerenity

Loneliness is the most terrible poverty.
I think Mother Teresa said that.
Well said Ms.

Poet De Vine.
and lonely silence shatters the peace
whan wafted on an errant breeze.

Brilliant work, love it.
