Alone

Alone at night,
The shadows fall
before foot or hand awaken.
An unseen thought within
hides action without echo.

Alone by day
the thought replays
without precedence or limit.
The memory is desires glove
contained but not restricted.

Alone again
the shadows haunt
space and flesh unveiled.
Imprint guides the unseen land
touching, ever certain.

Alone within
the thought evades
constraint or even guidance.
Running fast, towards the next,
colours deep in resonance.

Alone with you
when midnight falls
the path of memory lain.
Hope and fear now merge together
promise waiting in the distance.

Alone at night
The shadows fall
The lights are now awakened
Memory tainted by imagined colours
Time's now evaporated.
