@originalpoetry Alone with FriendsSurrounded on all sides.Never without company.Am I not still alone?Home is not in sight,but many leagues away.Friends to the left and right.Alas my mind is not present.Yearning the company of home,not a friend in sight can help.Distance measured in leagues.Is being in company alone?My mind is yet to see that company keeps.Finally I tell my love of my return.Home is where I return.Soon, my love, we shan’t be alone.

Your word choices reminds me of Tolkien. Not that I would mistake the poem for his, for your styles are different. But the choice of word specifically.

Thanks for posting!

Also your name is a very poet name.

    @Karl yeah I was writing in my feels. Been away from home for almost 8 months now and missing my wife. I love writing freestyle poetry. Something that helps me work my mind and emotions out when it’s hard.
