Taste of Alone

I want to be alone
No complicating ties
Finding peace as I can
Cradling my distraught heart

Across a room someone looks,
Voicelessly speaking of
Burning incomprehensive connection
Of slanting glancing desire

All is all – to much – not enough
Racing heart elates
I dance my love until I'm
Scheherazade no time and

I want to be alone
No complicating ties
Finding peace as I can
Cradling my tormented heart

Leave me alone in darkness
