Alone is beautiful

Chitter-chatter,

Glitter-glamour,

Their one-sided pit-a-pat,

Their small talks onto my weary ears,

My sham smiles on dumb lips.

Rushy push,

Wordy gush,

Like a life on the edge of apocalypse,

Like a loosening grip and a slip,

Into the deep helly-well.

Warm room corner,

A comic with a dark humour,

Sour cheese and sweet wine,

Unaware smiles,

With unswayed heart beats.

Blue skies,

Unruffled lake waters,

An Overwhelming quiet,

Mind, a naughty child,

Escaping into a world, so wild,

Dancing away,

To the tunes of solitude.
