Solitude

I am like a ghost,
Gazing through gossamer curtains,
With errie grin -
Pale-face,
Like spring tallow-face,
Am I alone, still alone?!


After a while I meditate -
Am I only your burden?


I dont believe!


You just dont know me,
Even In your foggy visions,
You touch me tangibly;


I am myself.


I will bare my soul to you,
So that you may know me more,
Be thrilled by me.


And then,
Softly-spoken you will ask:


"Do you still love me?"


I am somewhat a milksop,
I await you,
Although I know exactly -
Its extraordinary,
At any rate,
I cant,
I cant live without you!
