"A Visit From a Sprightly Antidote for Loneliness"
She whispers slow,
Soft, seductive secrets.
She sashays with stealth,
And deposits a million kind kisses
Upon these,
My tired and listless lips.
She breathes beauty,
Boldly inflating me.
She summons my soul
From its deep and haunted hollow.
She comes closer and closer with confidence,
Knowing that I am coolly complicit.
(As ivy climbs its tremendous tower,
So too do I grow gratefully into her.)
She lifts my life,
And we float free of fear.
Far, far away from here.
To a land of longing long-forgotten,
Where all are secure in their insecurities.
She takes me there,
Loves me with tender care.
And then, with not a word,
She softly dissevers,
Disperses,
And departs.
I am left alone.
