Sonnet of Loneliness


As I walked on a busy street,

Side by side with random people

Seeing variety of souls when eyes meet

I see joy, love, hatred and trouble

 

Across the street I see an old lady

Seeming like she lives because she’s alive

Seeing her soul that says her history

The eyes that speaks of how she strived

 

A young boy in teary eyes while licking his icecream

However his mother ignored while chatting on her iphone

How ironic life can be when loneliness can’t scream

It tends to hide and ends up like a drone

 

It’s funny how loneliness is unnoticed in tons of way

Until somebody decides to end one’s chance to live in a day…

I am an LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) and currently studying for my RN (Registered Nurse). I love poetry and I love making my own poetry. I was born and raised in the Philippines and currently residing in New York. My poems are mostly about love and relationships but I love to experiment other categories as well. I also like music and hopefully one day I'll be able to use one of my poems and put it to music.
