Sometimes when I see you on here
and my eyes light up and a smile forms
at the corners of my lips, I wonder
just what is it, you have over me.
What hold, that clears my mind and allows
happiness to enter, even if ever so briefly.

For when words you then type, are eased into
my thoughts, and they say solitude, aloneness,
indefinitely, perhaps, maybe,
when I think more
along the lines of fulfillment, togetherness,
closeness, forever and always
...an upheaval occurs.

And inside the churning begins,
What was once smooth and calm,
and colored swirls of sweetness
becomes hardened, blurred,
roaring moments of doubts.

For I, too, understand solitude
and the need to be alone. I move between
a sunny, warm room to comfort me
or a cooler darkened room to fit the mood
and another complete floor to achieve creative
outlets in.  I have had my solitude for 3 years now
and my other life before that, so busy and
entwined with others, that I never noticed
when a day went by...

Now I not only notice, but the hours are so slow,
I try to sleep more and more of them away,
because this emptiness is haunting,
shadows me everywhere, trips me on the stairs,
bumps into me around corners,
wraps me tight in quilts at night,
so not one breeze of a cool thought
can find its way, between the layers
of covering, to bruise me with touch.

When I awaken to the softness of a purring voice
or the tapping of her against my cheek, wanting
of me to get up and share the moments with her,
nourish her and in return receive from her
warmth against my own, to make me feel worthwhile

I wonder if she can live another 20 years,
to be my companion, to love me unconditionally,
to know that I shall not have to dwell
in this home alone, passing my shadows
in the hallways, whispering around corners
of my desires, slowly traveling the steps
one foot at a time...letting gravity
pull me down...as I start each new day...

These are my sometimes thoughts,
overwhelming the others, that say
life is wonderful when you have
someone to love and
that someone loves you...

Wynter - you do have the most precious thoughts, as these words you have written. Again, I am touched by them.

Wynter's thoughts on a winter day. Perfect combo. I understand the feelings here, and you always speak them so well.
