LONELINESS...

The half-formed illusive notions
Flit across the mind’s horizon
As despair and happiness struggle hard
To reign supreme in the heart.
I have discovered the meaning of loneliness-
It whispers into the ears mystical words
With obscure import and strange implication
Until u are overwhelmed with a wondrous charm.
Loneliness torments and generates a pain,
But I have learnt to strive and battle
To transcend it and emerge stronger.
Yet the heart refuses to remain in my hands-
It remains vulnerable to all the vagaries of the mind
And gets swayed and tossed about in the sea of emotions.
And I like a soul lost in my own misty consciousness
Choose to overlook the lessons of solitude
And embrace the aches of the heart…..!
How strange is human nature,
That opts for melancholy even when freedom is at hand!!
