Is there No one?: Poetry of loneliness, love and a perpetual longing❤️🌿 by Souraseni B

Is There No One?

In frame: Solitude by Daler Usmonov ( 2015)

Is there no one whose lookin' for a friend?

Is there no one, seeking a hand?

Is there no one whose lookin' for a lover ?

Is there no one, seeking a heart?

Is there no one whose looking for me?

Is there no one, for me?

Walking down the street, I see faces--

Looking down and seeing a thing.

They, all are alike,with neat collars,

ironed and tight.

Yet  so cold, that I couldn't believe

They are keeping alive.

They don't look at each other,

They don't say me a 'hi'--

Alone...alone ...all alone

I weep at the corner, meanwhile!

Is there no one who will once look up?

Is there no one who'll once see me?

Is there no one who will end my wait?

Because, dear, with you I want to be 'we'!

I promise you, to build a home at the hills,

And at the brook we'll let go one paperboat.

We will drink water and walk slow--

But darling, tell me first, where to find you?

I promise to reach you my words,

When life shall keep us afar!

Sweetheart, I don't want to be alone anymore,

Tell me the time to reach thee, how far?

Amidst the trouble of my twenties,

I am looking for a home,

I know, it's there in your heart.

Don't play like this my darling,

Let's end this game of painful hide and seek,

On the canvas of the clouds,

Write your whereabouts down,

And allow me to seek,

 Where you are!
