Loneliness and Longing

Quiet biting the day

Promise and hope

Leaving questions

Oh… Where are you, Dear?

Shortness burst

Squeeze the chest

Are you forget?

I slowly counted the days

Minute exceeded

Hours passed

Day moved away

I never met it

Knitting the dreams

Embroider the hopes

I tie your love string

With a knot of loyalty

String your love

With a sigh of longing

Until when?

A question that kept echoing

A question that has not been answered

Fatigue fills the head

Arghh... Where are you?

Sad, angry and disappointed

I spilt all the feelings

On the soundless flat screen

Only you that I have

I want to run

Reach for you

Embrace you

But I didn't get it either

Imagine when intimate together

Remembered the warm embrace

Crossed when the seduce seduce

The time… why you create distance?

Space... Why I could not reach him?

The Meaning of this poetry is the loneliness and longing felt by a woman who tries to find out about what her mistakes are, why she can feel down. It can be seen that this poem indeed tells a deep sadness and longing. I show with a few puns the meanings of the same whole, namely longing, sadness, loneliness, and disappointment. Anyone who reads this poem can understand the situation faced by women in this poem. Although it seems to exaggerate despair of her feel, I hope the reader can truly understand the woman's feelings after reading this poem.
Seen in the verse "A question that kept echoing. A question that has not been answered" is asking.
Besides, in the last stanza, she tried to ask the time and distance in the sentence "The time ... why do you create distance? Space ... Why I could not reach him."

The purpose is to show a woman's love for a man, but it is not conveyed, unanswered or forgotten. The woman remembers when they were together before, dreams and hopes that she had gathered, but all just disappeared with the disappearance of her beloved man. She was distraught and lost direction without knowing her purpose due to loneliness and deep longing. 

From this poetry, we can learn that deep love for someone is not good because if we lost him, we will feeling down and very upset. We know that in this poetry, the woman like not has life again. It is not suitable for our mental.

Figurative language refers to a language that deviates from the conventional order and meaning in order to convey a complicated meaning, colourful writing, clarity, or evocative comparison. In the poem I have written, there are several figurative languages.

• Personification

Personification is defined as giving human characteristics to non-human things.The personification can be found in the sentence "Quiet biting the day" as we know that something that can bite is a living creature, while quiet here is not a living creature.
In the sentence “The time… why you create distance” the writer make the time can create as a living creature.

• Onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia is a language that names something or actions by imitating the sound associated with it.

In the verse "Oh ... Where are you dear"
Oh here is the language of hope.
While in the temple "Arghh ... Where are you?"
Arghh here refers more to anger accompanied by sadness and confusion.

• Hyperbole

Hyperbole is an exaggeration that is created to emphasize a point or bring out a sense of humour.
In this poem, hyperbole that is displayed is "Shortness burst, Squeeze the chest" when Shortness can squeeze the chest.

Sound device is resources used by poets to convey and reinforce the meaning or experience of poetry through the skilful use of sound.  After all, poets are trying to use a concentrated blend of sound and imagery to create an emotional response.  The words and their order should evoke images, and the words themselves have sounds, which can reinforce or otherwise clarify those images.  All in all, the poet is trying to get you, the reader, to sense a particular thing, and the use of sound devices are some of the poet’s tools.

• Consonance

Consonance is a literary device in which a consonant sound is repeated in words that are in close proximity.  The repeated sound can appear anywhere in the words, unlike in alliteration where the repeated consonant sound must occur in the stressed part of the word. Consonance is also a similar concept to assonance, which refers to the repetition of vowel sounds in quick succession.  

In this poem, consonance is found in the verses "Shortness burst" and "Squeeze the chest" which is the letter s in the words shortness, burst, squeeze, and chest marked with bold. 

• Rhyme

Rhyme is the repetition of identical or similar terminal sound combinations of words.

In this poem, rhyme is found in the "Minute exceeded" and stanzas "Hours passed" is the pronounced -ed in the word exceeded and passed which is marked bold.

Rhyme is also found in the verses "But I didn't get it either" and "Imagine when intimate together", namely the -ther pronunciation of the words either and together which are marked bold.

Both of the above are rhyme couplets types because the last words of two successive lines are rhymed aa

• Onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia is a language that names something or actions by imitating the sound associated with it. Strictly speaking, the formation or use of words which imitate sounds, like whispering, clang and sizzle, but the term is generally expanded to refer to any word whose sound is suggestive of its meaning.
Sidelight: Because sound is an important part of poetry, the use of onomatopoeia is another subtle weapon in the poet's arsenal for the transfer of sense impressions through imagery.

In the verse "Oh ... Where are you, Dear"

Oh here is the language of expressing hope and deep anxiety.
While in the temple "Arghh ... Where are you?"

Arghh here refers more to anger accompanied by sadness and confusion. The word arghh can also express anxiety mixed with anger
