Do you ever feel like everyone is out of reach?
Someone just told me that I must be sad writing a poem on a Saturday night
Maybe I am but I want wine of a different kind
I can only talk **** for so long
I am no longer bothered if this doesn’t rhyme
What can I say or how can I put it
It’s the tiredness that comes from hoping against hope
It’s the pain that comes from not being able to stop
Trying to kill yourself by holding your own breath
I’m still empty but think I’m special for it
I suppose it’s just one of those days when
Loneliness creeps out and stares you in the face
And you know that no one is responsible, that’s what makes it so tough
Being with someone else just covers it up
It’s a loneliness given to me like a gift
I hope against hope someone will hear this
But I have written things before
Made secret wishes
It comes and goes just like this
I think the title of this poem will be ‘untold loneliness’

Moonshine, I was just thinking about the light of the moon and how tender and gentle it is...

Love and Light...
Your
Akash.

I love your writings Akash. Has your friend who called you sad actually read any of your poems? I think they should... it would make them eat their words! Hope you feel better soon x

Yes, I do know what you mean, about the loneliness deep inside. There are days when I feel "disconnected" and I, too, realise that no-one is to blame, not really. Sometimes it takes all my strength to put my mind on a higher plane so I can transcend the loneliness from within, rather than use what is on the outside. I challenge my ego to stop being so needy, to turn that energy instead toward GIVING AND LOVING - to others, to my work, to my mundane everyday tasks. Give everything that I do and everyone that I meet warmth and honour. And one more thing I'd like to share - I just read it this morning - "Humility is NOT the belittling of the self - it is forgetting the self" in other words, it is putting the ego away. Living from the soul, rather than the ego. I hope this helps you.

Thank you both, it was just one of those nights when I longed for the companionship of souls like yourSelves.

It's a bright morning here in the City of London, I have just got out of bed am about to dance my way to work.
I would be honoured if you let me offer this poem to the both of you...
It's by the beloved mystic-persian poet ((Rumi)

Love, Love, Love and more Love.

Your
Akash.

in every breath
if you're the center
of your own desires
you'll lose the grace
of your beloved

but if in every breath
you blow away
your self claim
the ecstasy of love
will soon arrive

in every breath
if you're the center
of your own thoughts
the sadness of autumn
will fall on you

but if in every breath
you strip naked
just like a winter
the joy of spring
will grow from within

all your impatience
comes from the push
for gain of patience
let go of the effort
and peace will arrive

all your unfulfilled desires
are from your greed
for gain of fulfillments
let go of them all
and they will be sent as gifts

fall in love with
the agony of love
not the ecstasy
then the beloved
will fall in love with you

-- Ghazal (Ode) 323
Translation by Nader Khalili
Rumi, Fountain of Fire
Cal-Earth Press, 1994

Thank you so much for sharing that beautiful poem, Akash, so heart-warming and soul-enriching. When you revealed that you are from London, I was in awe of the fact that we souls, kindred spirits that we are, can transcend time and space using the medium of technology. Which, if you think about it, everything that man has invented, created and brought into existence all began with a thought - and where, pray tell, do thoughts originate? From "Out There" in the realm of the gods & goddesses- we are merely conduits.
And about the poem you shared with us, that's a message from the gods & goddesses if ever I heard one ! Have a beautiful day.
