howling
in the lonesome night...

dismal wolf ?
The loneliness!?...

A tear ~ solitaire:

Echo as it falls....

Hot dates in the sun
Her body was willing to share.
Defeated by time
And squeezed like a lime
For comfort she plays solitaire....

upset
that the

the

because

in
the
real

the joker
is always

taken out...

As he caressed and slapped it fully aware
That  he played alone
With the wife not at home
The satisfying game of solitaire...

I sat in car, turned AC on, started playing cards on dashboard,
Solitaire means solitude doesn't have to be a bore....

stop playing, put up the cards

I’m winning that game right now
but I lost the Game...

a focus of symmetry
in slicked surroundings
wet with salty tears
escape in views
solitaire existence; crowded

My mind yet dirty
I wash my feet
My heart hard as stone

Alone; 
an abandoned, 
waterless oasis 
that cynically 
mocks you knowing 
companionship is a gift 
it will never 
furnish you with, 
where hope 
turns into a 
repetitive game 
of soulless solitaire....

a sharp picture forms
clarity
of shadow
omnipotent silhouette
just as suddenly
observe the single
uniqueness of its essence
solitaire
stars align
prodigious melding
of the One

My soul and rain are one
lost in despair
like an empty cold street
made of cut stone
neither ever escapes
its solitaire
languishing in darkness
both are alone!

Cards on hand
Numbers and Faces
Two colors not blonde
Kins that bond
Form in lines
Like bordelines
Round or Chinky
Winky or rinky
Question you asked
Answered or basked
Last card in line
Tossed or flipped
End of the line...

topaz solitaire
set with eight opals
favorite ring ever

diamond is long gone
or not, no interest
Blue jewelry my favorite

It should never be the ring.
It should be the guy
Sometimes you

Do
Not
Even 
Need
Jewelry.......

You are roaming, sailing on “our lake,”
While I, while I, dream twilight dreams,
Knowing your roaming is solitaire and alone;
I hide my soul from you, as I wait,
I wait to hear your dreams and hope
You find my bonfire on the shore....
