When I’m Alone…..

When I’m Alone…..
Devashree Vakil

When I’m alone, I feel akin to none!
In crowded squares it is that I feel lone,
Friends buzz me all day on the ‘phone,
And I avoid talking, saying I’m not home!!

When I’m alone, every task is forgone,
I overlook to see my soul as ma ‘own,
With time, I repay each loan
Though I forget to check
my skin tone!

When I’m alone, the Earth seems to moan,
It mocks me – my hair windblown,
The tunes of Mozart seem but a bee’s drone,
While loneliness appears; its skills honed
My heart gets desperate for a clone
And then, off goes my phone,
I hear a melodious ringtone,
And I know I’m not alone!!!

It's a really nice first post! An 'aaaa' rhyme scheme in poetry is so rarely seen nowadays! :)

Hey Devashree

I thought penn state was a nice joyous place - then why such a deep emotional tone to your writings? Anyway it's a good poem but be cheerful in life.
