both ~ away ~
.
one is across the country,
the other ~ across an ocean
and
I am in the center waiting ~
.
neither
here or there ~
.
just
waiting ~
.
waiting for this ~ profound
loneliness
to
float
away ~

the puzzle
…
there are so many pieces
strewn
about the table.
i carefully organize each
one.
face up, straight edges,
corners, same colors,
and
i sit for hours
~ connecting ~
finding pairs, perfect fits,
arranging and re-arranging
~ watching ~
a snapshot unfold.
minute-by-minute,
piece-by-piece,
until all can be assembled.
i stand and stare
looking down at the gaps.
many pieces are missing or broken.
i take apart each
one,
place them into a box
~ turn ~
and
walk away…
…
this puzzle may remain as is
~ unfinished ~
in a box
or
not…
only time will tell…
…
…
a world of many
~
this world is full of beating hearts
and
in the middle of them all
i stand ~
a no one amongst many
and
a someone to a few
and
always
wishing for another ~
who is
also
a no one searching for
another one
to be their someone ~
their only one
now
and
forever

the night air
~
as nighttime touches my skin,
my mind fills with desire
~ each heartbeat fuels a need ~
to be touched,
to be held,
to be wanted
yet
the rhythm of my cries fall on deaf ears
~ always ~
on deaf ears
and
stagnant air
~
middle ground…
:
whether I
walk or run,
fly or fall ~
I am either
steady or stumbling
along ~ ~
the twists and turns,
ups and downs,
overs and unders
and
the sideways, wrong ways and right ways of life.
:
I can never seem to find the middle ground……..
