Solitude
shares a secret longing
lonely seconds tick with
ferocious volume
on sleepless nights
as low light struggles
to invade the slightest
crack in the window and memories
of the forgotten and forlorn
Solitude
shares a secret longing
a shadow extends its had
a subtle invitation
to embrace the rhythm of silence
a chance to see themselves
larger than life
in a flawless tango
with deferred desires
