In My Solitude

In My Solitude

“You haunt me . . .”
An old refrain
Plays;
Starlit darkness
Falls.

Half of my soul
Drifts;
Eternity
Ends.

I am alone,
With echoes.
Another life
Calls;
As if the sea
Knows.

Waves caress and
Kiss;
Embracing me
Less.

I am alone,
With echoes.
My solitude
Sings;
As our heartbeat
Slows.
