Love. A four letter word, short but true. With no hope of being defined. But what's new?



-S. Jordan


I sensed his presence
the minute
he stepped into my haven
the one place
I can be
alone
free
I can be me
I cherish it
yet
he comes
heavy feet
moving
slowly
without purpose
as if
he is burdened
yet
I know physically
he is not
why do I waste
my
thoughts
on him
this man who
cares only for
himself
he is here
watching me
searching
yet
I will not let him come
he stares deep into my eyes
I show
no emotion
just hold my ground
and
I do not turn away
I tell him softly
to leave
and I know
he will
I am glad
yet as he turns away
I feel
a hint
of
regret.
