In My Loneliness
by David N. Muxo


In my loneliness I think of you,
and though I am far away (a million miles?)
your presence dances in my eyes
to light my memories.
(Sweet memories, fond words
sleeping on a perfumed page
until I wake them with my glance.)

I watch old movies and I think of you
(as though they were yours and mine somehow).
I sigh a little when the hero rides
into the sunset with his love.
I sometimes ride into that sun,
and memories of you slip through my mind
like loving fingers through my hair.
