Abstract

Solitude Is Not What I Want

Solitude Is Not What I Want

2 mins
309


One day at midnight

Things came to a grinding halt

I was said not to move

I am alone at my abode

I thought I could

Pass through with fun

As sometimes

I used to enjoy solitude

But a few days have past

Now I understand the pain

Of being alone

No family

No friends

Social distance

To the core

Nay: Solitude is not what I want


I miss the morning bell

When the milk man

Used to ring

Sheepishly I used to wake

And my day starts to move

Neither the milkman

Nor the bell

Now I do not know

When it is dawn

Slumberous it has become

Nay: Solitude is not what I want


Some calls here and there

A few video calls

With my family and friends

Alone I am in these turbulent times

Video calls make me miserable

I see them together

But me in the wilderness

The brain starts pricking

Envious I am and emotionally drained

Nay: Solitude is not what I want


A sip of wine

I thought would save my time

The wine did not taste

What it could have tasted

A drop of whiskey I thought

Would give me the kick

Fear of being alone

Loomed largely

Neither the wine nor the whiskey

Could do the trick

Nay: Solitude is not what I want


Passion to Cook

I thought I did have

A day or two went by

When the utensils

Piled into a heap

No sight of the maid

To clear the same

The passion to cook

Too was lost

Within a day or two

Nay: Solitude is not what I want


Someone suggested

Me to read books

I too picked one

A page or two

Went by,

I thought it has made

The trick

Not before I realized

That boredom

Started hitting me again

As I could see either only

The book,

Or the roof

In which I stayed alone

Nay: Solitude is not what I want


I felt that

The nature is at its best

Started peeping through

The window

To see the birds chirping

And the sky so clean

An hour or so passed by

When I realized

There was no dynamism

I feared I might

Lose the sense of beauty

If continued for long

Nay: Solitude is not what I want


I am emotionally drained

I know not what Corona

Can cause to me,

But I am depressed

And suppressed too

Not sure how long

Can I prolong?

Nay: Solitude is not what I want
