So very alone in a crowded room,
The noise is not welcome; o'er me it looms.
Loud ramblings of chatter right next to my ear.
I inwardly cower; I'm looked at quite queer.

My mind seeks calm peace, of solitude pine.
Prefer sharing candle; carafe of fine wine....
A stroll nearing dusk by a waterway's fall...
Long respite on lap in cool shade by stone wall.

My heart needs not many to feel warm, secure.
Your softness of voice shall surround, be the lure.
Firm fingers caress as arms draw me in tight....
For never alone when your eyes reach my light.

Music, tonal clear & pure,
Caresses the harshest of curves.

Suffice to say you spoke for me as well when you wrote this and said it so much better than I could
