Loneliness!

Submitted by preetiN on Fri, 10/30/2009 - 05:56
This is one of my paintings with a few of my lines: I was all alone, drowned in solitude, engulfed in my blues, And I failed to see all those beautiful hues. I was safe! Huddled with myself in my heavy silence, I believed it was my prudence. Darkness glowed everywhere, There wasn’t but a single flare. I fell in love with the shadow, Everything else I forgo. But my soul began to ache with the gloom, I was digging up my own tomb. There was a longing to break out of that dark shell, And unknown to me it wanted to rebel. I saw a hand reaching out to me, Which, all this while I was blinded to see. It was the ray of hope, and that of joy, That called on me to open up and enjoy. Sunshine burst in through that little rift, And spread out quick and swift. I wanted to rein that destined throne, Though in the end, I knew, I will be all alone.

I like the poem and also the painting quite a bit. One thing though, for this (type of) poem, rhymes don't add beauty unless it comes naturally. I don't know how you and others feel about it. Regards! - mOhana

Thanks Mohana sir. I would have to agree with you there. But these are just a few lines accompanying the painting that my imagination could conceive :)

This poem and the painting gives the impression that it is the soundless cry from the baby in mother's womb? rajamma.
