Alone -- A Poem

There is a place in my head,
In time and space--
My empty room.

Alone. Apart.

You will never see
the interior
Of this, endless, salty sea--

A place in my head
And a space in my bed.
My salty friends
Wishing I was dead.

I hope the tears subside,
but the pain in my heart
Now amplified.

All I want is nothing more,
to hear you knocking at my my door.
Maybe someday, I’ll sing a song.
A song that goes on and on...

Now.

I’ll rest-- the ceiling my only friend.
My hopes have no choice
As I feel our end.

All I want is to respect a heart,
To make together, two single parts.

So Let’s just dance through the stars
Ignoring the space, ignoring mars.
Making life, the universe
Ours. A hidden art.

As with you, even mars, is less alone
A glowing, life full moon stone.

Our problems from there
too small to see,
But yet I know, without that single plea,
I’m small. Here. Alone.
The stars-- a tease.

I’ll stare

from here

Awake.
