The View

I know
You saw me there
With the other three
Holding on to conversation
As a lifeline
Just to get through the night
Laughing at jokes
Sipping the libation cold
Slipping thoughts to stranger moods

For I
Glanced over to the darker corner
My mind saw you there
Watching, lifting your drink is soft salute
Soon
Your thoughts loud
Soon

Once alone with time worn talent
After a tirade of whys
He found no answers in my silence

Alone,
Silk sheets swallowed me whole
Dark thought fingers found me,
Turned me around, smelled the tears
Wrapped me warm in quiet
And held on with life
Pounding

Knowing

Quiet, your thoughts lulled me to sleep
Woke me gently to a new day
To smile upon the view
These thoughts of you

ms elan, can see the romance in this
the novel of boredom flowing page by page
minute by minute..then the escape to dreams with your lover

enjoyed it

Sir, I dip
to your insight
it is all just another page
and one must choose who writes
on it, carefully...
thank you...
