Love Poem: Puffing Out the Angst In Me

Puffing Out the Angst In Me

Solitude—
oh, I love 
this word

as much 
as it loves 
me. I live

in it, with my 
earthly shadow, where 
no one dares 

see me, huddling 
‘tween dark and 
empty space, 

longing for
the stars
to wink out

the coldness
of my thought—
‘cos of you!
