Eyes in the Dark
<br><br><center>![drawing_painting_looking_at_viewer_dark_blue_eyes-1406569.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfLF9vYMwfvqoMZM3XzRVwMWL7HKs5DpHLRQdadsFfNoK/drawing_painting_looking_at_viewer_dark_blue_eyes-1406569.jpg)</center>



<br><br><center>I type in a circle of light
In an empty room,
Surrounded by
Ghosts of you.

<br>I’m not dramatic,
But intense—
Everything focused
Heightened by tens.

I keep apart—
A hermit on a desert,

But everything
Goes through my heart
 And emerges
With your lipstick

<<>>

Isolation
Makes me sensitive.

I write best at night
while animals sleep,
the house creaks...
My soul bleak.

I’m Ulysses
Every time I reach
Beyond my circle of light,

And yes, I'm no saint;
It's true—

But I still venture out
To find you.</center>

Lovely verse. I relate to the solitude writing.

Thanks, @wandrnrose7 - it's necessary to confront one's demons by retreating to a desert :)

I was just thinking of you and wondering why you don't - Synchronicity?
