in solitude

in solitude

I lower my barriers

and let my hair down

sing songs off key 

and dance madly

since no one is watching

in solitude

I lie in my bed until

brunch time on Sundays

enjoying its warmth

the only day in the week

I have such luxury

in solitude

I think about you

my soulmate, whose face

continues to change in my dreams

I have yet to meet you and

wonder if you are even real

perhaps you are –

in my solitude
