Tonight I am Lonely

...sometimes it would be nice to share an evening...

TONIGHT I AM LONELY

For some reason, tonight I feel lonely, alone and in need of company - the tender voice of femininity. Maybe it’s the heat, one of those dog days where even the suns absence brings no relief. And the evening breeze is an oven in disguise. It would be nice just to feel her fingers brush aside the hair on my forehead �"you know, one of those light, casual touches that more than anything says I want to be here with you. Sitting, talking, about who knows what- it doesn’t matter, it’s the sound of her voice mingling with the scent of her shampoo- coconut with a hint of aloe, that eases my mind, allows me to feel human.

~~

So, I close my eyes, imagine her embrace- warm and gentle- yet full of her mystery. The way ocean waves ceaselessly count each grain of sand and sways a coral reef into showing all its colors.

~~

Tonight though, I feel lonely. Alone in the way shadow must feel, realizing there is no more light and it is just another part of darkness. No longer having form, or distinction, no substance, just floating within black. And it would be so magical if she would call me, or even just call out my name. But I don’t think she can see me, or realize she can reach into shadows and pull out a man.

~~

So I am alone tonight amidst shadows; alone, sitting in darkness, in nothingness.

Yo estoy luz! Yo estoy escruridao. Yo estoy sozinbo!!!

Mr. Redzone, I must admit, well first let me say, this was perfectly penned, this feeling of loneliness touched me and reminded me, I know this...I have felt this and I am this. Damn, that want and need pulls at my very core. This was wonderful my friend.

Now let me finish my opening thought..I must admit I was slightly confused as I read this, somewhere during reading my eyes kept glancing over at the posted date...February 2014...I read some more and had to check again...I know where you are located and I know what the weather has been like and I wondered...how hot can it possibly be...then I found the "written date" at the bottom.

Still, hot or cold...this feeling you have portrayed masterfully. Now I don't know whether to say...really great job or I am sorry you were feeling this way...so I'll say both.

Jack, thanks so much for your review, more for your understanding... yes it was penned a time ago but it seemed to fit just right to what I was feeling 2days ago... maybe it would have been less confusing if I had removed the date written, but then that would/could have created other complications and besides it would also have been dishonest on my part.

So, thank you for both of your sentiments Jack.

Sir, no need to change a thing...it is perfect as is.

I am amazed by your word play on the matter. You have a way to speak through metaphors. It is mind blowing to see.
