Lost Friends

Hi Alidzain, although rather sad and a bit lonely in a way, I enjoyed this write. I think you managed to capture the friendship and loneliness you can get from an internet site. As poets, we show glimpses of our souls and get to know one another on quite a profound level and then on a personal level, we hardly touch the surface. Then when someone doesn't write or post for a while, you do wonder if they are ok.
Hope you are well by the way :-)

Jane took the thoughts in my head and put them into words! I can really relate to this poem.

always, Cat

all and most poets are
know it
never get attached
remain detached
some know how to learn if you'd like to

i lose a friend every moment
every now and then
where is man jess
all guess

This is the first poem of yours I've had the pleasure of reading. Although it does have a sad tone to it, it reads easily. Your thoughts flow from one verse to the next and they convey your emotions in a well conceived way. I haven't been on the site for awhile, but I can relate to what you're saying because I'd been on another site a few years back, and when people I'd 'connected with, for whatever reason, seemed to disappear, it left me with an empty feeling. The hardest part for me being on a site is that I either become all consumed by it, and suddenly find that other things I'd planned on doing had to be put off, or just the opposite happens....I get caught up in day to day living and my time on the site gets put off. Long story short, I did enjoy the read, understand what you're saying and hope you're not feeling too lonely!

I think as Valene says, some of us tend to dib in and out of sites - and it can very much be all or nothing. That doesn't mean when folks aren't here, they're gone for good. It may just be, they aren't writing or that poetry has taken a back seat for a while.
I'm not writing at the moment - it just ain't happening, but I do have time on my hands, so I bob in regularly, to read what others have written. If I get back to work, I know poetry will have to take a back seat for a while, but that won't mean I've forgotten about here or the people I've met. I think one of the things about an internet site, is it can be as big or as small a part of your life as you wish and at varying times in life this can change.
It must be gratifying to see how much of a chord your lovely poem has struck. Jxx

I've never been quite so good at keeping friends. There is the immediate interest and texting frenzy where i want to hang out and do everything with them, but as time goes on, i drift away, unable to keep up with the initial momentum. I read your poem and just wondered about those I left in the dark, and those that left me in torturous darkness with fear of the light. Fear of light not because of the brightness, but fear of such a time when that light would disappear.
These are basic conversational words that together form something so deep for me. It's amazing.
