Nearly There!

I nearly reached there!

All on my own

enjoying my self imposed solitude,

wishing for no strange presence

to destroy my self bestowed peace

I sailed along

carrying myself

a one man army

fully immersed

in me, mine, myself.

I nearly reached there!

When I discovered

the sailing solitude

I so longed for

was only loneliness,

the peace prickly pieces of arrogant dust

covering my confused conflicted mind,

what I needed

was another sailing boat,

sea or stream, just sharing life together!

Sunday Scribblings: Prompt: NEARLY

Sometimes, it's just not enough!

Sometimes,

this is all the space

I ask of you.

(nothing less, nothing more)

Sometimes,

this is all the space

I can give to you.

(that's all I have to share)

Sometimes,

this all the space

I can get from you.

(in charity or in love)

Sometimes,

Even this little piece of lonely space

seems doomed to a disillusioned destiny.

(for my good or for yours)
