Solo

Because I am not afraid

In my solitude

of endless minds of starry skies

I travel through the darkest eyes

changing form and shape I breathe in

and out

for countless cycles

I move about—tiring of nothing

my penetrating gaze

shrouded in mysteries smoke and haze

that lingers on for days

and days

I know your type

I know you too

In my solitude I’ve been with you

A complex concept

that many won’t touch—too much

of a computational hazard but

who needs you

when the world is mine

I kissed the deity to make him shine

a world of light

and life on me traveling…

…traveling near and far

in my solitude

I shed my skin

and bare my head

running

this way and that with angel wind with

love and lust and prayers to send

I’m feeling cool and blue and dark

and wet and

for those who cannot see me as yet

I am a woman fulfilled with sweet desire

This is no mood

THIS IS

no

mood

just me alone in my solitude

I really appreciate that you read my poem! I incorporated the principles of 'found poetry' and have given you two poems in one if you read only the bold print. A 'found poem' takes chunks of words, varying in number/length from a previously written work, with additions and deletions, and pieces them together like a word collage.
