i stand alone. 

1.

i stand alone, though never lonely,
she rests within me, and ’tis with  her i long to be.

i stand alone,

though hardly disconsolate,
she sprinkles colour deep within me, a dazzling rainbow for me to see.

i stand alone,

at rest and with hope,
her soul caressing my edginess, her memory a soothing balm helping me to cope.

i stand alone,

her heart a part of mine,
our emotions are one, bound by tight twine.

2.

i do not stand alone, for we stand side by side,
our love in tune, with the coming in of the tide.
