This poem is written for Poetry 101 Rehab: Away . The prompt demands to pen down something on the theme “Away”.
Away is not when,
I don’t get to see you.
I don’t get to hear you.
I don’t get to touch you.
I don’t get to smell you.
Away is when,
I see you, Still you stay blind,
I hear you, Still you stay ignored,
I touch you, Still you stay unresponsive,
I smell you, Still you stay unaffected.
Away is not when you are far!
Away is when you are near and yet so far!

Wow. What a powerful observation. What a lonely place it is that is created when someone near is so far away in the sense that you describe. Thank you.

Nice lines, no doubt. But what I liked more is the bold that you used for the first line of every stanza. That draws attention faster….

How the word ‘Away’ could mean extremely different things. It isn’t about physical proximity, but about the proximity within. Lovely play of words. 🙂
