I think about you lots

and smile away my time

While sinking, thinking are your thoughts a million miles from mine?

For somewhere down inside myself I think somehow you'll know

When next we meet

that I've been sweetly doting on you so.

I see you in a bar

You stop and say 'hello'

A moment's glance, a chance, I wait, you hesitate then go 

For one so used to solitude, the hardest thing to do

is trust enough

in love to say the words you know are true...

'I love you'

Ok, so I tried to incorporate a picture at the start of this poem but something has gone awry! Once I see if I can fix it, I'd like this to be a thread of poems and stories with pictures and drawings attached! ...in the mean time, THX's comment has inspired me to suggest this thread be used as a place to write poems using 'old fashioned' and under-used or forgotten words and expressions which often have so much more depth of meaning than the everyday terms and phrases. I don't mean in every line, obviously - but if you think of a favourite word or phrase that is in danger of becoming extinct, give it a home in a poem on here. The theme can be solitude - or feel free to write "On" something else... The choice lies, as ever, with you O writer. : )
