Solitude speaks as one
voice..silently assessing..
teasing as loneliness lifts
the eyes of sadness..drowning..
in empty pools
Gentle the brow..furled, taunt
fearful of intrusion
clutched close.. the memories
of happiness..grey..aloof..
distant
A need grows for company
freely offered...begrudgingly
accepted
in time honored fashion the
return to normality..as seen
by the outside world.

often people are not able to distinguish between loneliness and solitude, solitude is that time when one is complete withing oneself, content to be with thoughts or reflections or even deeper spiritual communications while loneliness cries with the need for another... loneliness speaks of a vacancy an emptines even... I like the way you have ended a lot of knowledge of human nature in those lines.

Well written
Sometimes it is great to be alone as it puts things right in your mind. I like this a lot and true words are coming across in a well written poem. Nice one -
I can relate to the feeling of just wanting to be alone - for a little while. You have captured an emotion that I think is universal, we are all hermits to a certain degree and sometimes we confuse ourselves! Our need for company battles with our need to be alone... Man, humand are pretty absurd!! Nicely written.
