In the quiet of the night
In the quiet of the night
the house shrouded in fog
the moon and stars are
there, like you
not seen
but always present
All sound is muffled
by a cold damp blanket
the world is asleep
I am alone
with myself
and thus with you
I cherish this moment
to think of you
imagine you
indulge myself in you
and smile
remembering
wishing
picturing you
In the quiet of the night
when all around me is so still
I am content
to just sit here
with my eyes closed
happy to let you
surround me
permeate me
I feel you so near
and I smile
and kiss you
unseen

LeBrozabout 18 years agoHad this one on the back burner for another look see. Feel the emotion you express of being alone. I especially like the ending, in the context of being alone —— "I smile and kiss you unseen."
Wanton Vixxxenabout 18 years agoI feel the closeness you share with "him". As bearlee so aptly put it, being alone and being lonely are two different emotions, but here you convey through your eloquent pen the togetherness you've found. Although you are momentarily miles apart, in the quiet of your alone night you will never see or feel loneliness. <smile>
On behalf of the poetry side of Lit, I'd like to welcome you to the neighborhood, Anna! Your first poem {and first story} both show a high caliber of writing ability that I, for one, am very impressed with. I'm looking forward to seeing more from our Many Feathers' {My Man of Sand's} new Venus.<wink>

bearleeabout 18 years agoHey, I'm not much on reading poetry-not because I don't like it but most of the time I just don't understand it. Still, I could feel the loneliness in this but then it wasn't a feeling of hopelessness and I think there's a big diffence. Being alone and being lonely are two different emotions and right now you seem alone but with a hope that leads me to believe you're not anticipating being lonely. Damn, I don't even understand what I'm trying to say :D
