Sweet Serenity

Serenity
Set aside;
     So simple
Lend me your loneliness,
Love lingering
So simple is serenity
Stifling
     Sinister.

Alone

Alone

Surrounded by millions
who rush to and fro
with overhead speakers
which call for John Doe
to please pick up the phone.
But without you...alone.
The touch of your breath,
my lips on your cheek;
under light of full moon
as I feel your heart beat
in a time we forgot.
Now alone like I sought.
The brisk night whispers peace
that my soul can't repeat
yet so tries to command,
but concludes between sleep
and dim thought that loneliness
is poor company to keep.
