A solitary stone sits in the sunlight

You out there

I talk to you
my imagined reader
as if
you’re really there
and I’m not
talking to myself
but then I get
emotional
must be
self-love
because
until I really know
you’re really there
the sound of my own voice
lulls me with myself
and I’m still waiting

A solitary stone sits in the sunlight

  1. I listen to you
    my less than imagined speaker
    and know
    you’re there
    and I’m not
    Replying to myself
    I feel no need to get
    emotional
    because
    I really know
    you’re really there
    the words I read with their flow
    Far from lull me ya know
    and I relish in reading more

  2. Just re-read your comment, and decided it deserves a reply, because it’s not often enough that one gets a reply in like manner from someone of like mind, so thank you thank you, it’s nice to know there are such people like you in the world to make it less intellectually lonely.
