Faces of loneliness
loneliness has many faces
a dark grey one
eyes stare empty out of windows
mouth thin 'caus of
fear and desertion
forehead in deep wrinkles
there is no one to fill the stare
no one's there to make the mouth
speak a word or smile
no one softens wrinkles
a bored face
eyes are searching everywhere
mouth half open to talk
forehead
sometimes soft
sometimes wrinkled
like inner fights
there are those who
eyes are looking for
those who listen
and
take care of wrinkles
but where are they?
A happy face
eyes gladly look at everything around
mouth wide open for a song
forehead soft
eyes were searching long for a place of ones own
mouth longing not to speak
forehead wrinkled against company
loneliness has many faces
they are free or forced
and how
does yours
look like?

Dear Santana,
your poem is very lovely. U are rite in terming loneliness in two ways , One free and other forced. Most of the time I never feel my loneliness though I live alone for more than 10 hours daily at home., provided I am with my lap top and net. .But some time I do feel very much alone even with more people so rounding me but , they are not my own beloveds (especially while missing my lovely son or husband, or my dearest friends ) . With this one can assume , what is loneliness ? meant for each one. .. Loneliness has different faces I agree with u , cent percent. In the former case I love my lone-liness and enjoy a lot , but in the later ?
Thanks a lot for sharing your beautiful poem Santa. Through this i expressed my inner heart now. I find a very deep sad feeling in U , while reading this lively poem. I pray, U should get back all happiness and U should never face loneliness in future.
with best wishes,

that is very interesting that u feel the lonliness i felt when i wrote that poem about 18 years ago. That has changed a lot. Now my face of lonliness is a free one and i enjoy it a lot when i have the chance.
Maybe i will change it because i think there are a lot more facettes to it.
I hope your face of loneliness will never be a bad one...
