A Poem – Alone….In that Crowd.

Beneath the city stars at night,
Reaching nowhere....
but again ,I'm still moving.
Stuck with so many in the head,
And their ANSWERS.....;
As always,
Smiled
from the far.
Aimless I stroll down these very alleys,
with that one crowd[of people]-like me....
Stuck somewhere in their lives.
I know not of who they are
nor of where they come from;
yet with them I've gone....
winters and winters...
Nights that I 've lost count of.
'My life'-a'life'..that I once lived
Had been nothing except what you call a misery;
Those memories keep haunting me,still...
Weakening
Every inch of my heart. When your world turned its back[the humans]on my face, I Ran away... Away,breaking those strings Away,from the rest of that world, On this journey, Down with the lost...
Down these roads;
the roads to somewhere.
I live now, in a different world
Unlike the one of yours.
strangers of your world [whom I knew]
-I had fancied
but these stranger I walk with,[since then]-
-I trust.
Miserable we seem-I admit,
and regret's in every soul.
But every ounce of what we've to feel
solely belongs to you.
This night is yet another day,
dark,dry and cold.
but I'm burning,still,
burning with shame...
unable to move on with life.
I haven't felt alive in years.
ah!
and HOPE-
seems a word too hopeless.
Yet what that has kept me moving...
Is something that has 'it' inside.
'cause deep within my heart,
someone.... still sings out aloud.
And in the midst of nothingness
it's my only ray of hope.
So,I cling to my singing soul, wishing WE could sing aloud And I know one day I would, Sing this song happy and gay. But now, here, I am. In a street,all alone in that crowd. Though strangers we're, To each other............ We drift together,in this swirling wind Under an unknown will......... With just one hope; That someday,somewhere..... We could sing out...aloud with our souls, And greet our worlds of gloom with beaming faces of joy.
