none

by Winds-of-Dawn


none
is an unlonely
no number of
unwhole
unimagined
undreamed of
unheard
unfelt
unseen
unsmelt
untasted
unstory
not even a shadow
or a hint
not even a whisper
of a ghost
or a sentinel
or guide
or dropping guns
or enticing curls
gleaming in the sunlight
a fountain, a wolf,
a panther crying
explosions, car chases,
smuggling rings, gang wars
comfort food
impatient patients wanting
to get out of hospital now
no police captain shouting
or mother meddling
or fathers distant, absent
not a gentle touch
or tender wacky
nicknames
no truck to stay in
or cell phones to forget
no trust
assumed
accepted
taken for granted
not longing gazes
hesitant touches
or words
sweet or clumsy
delicate or gruff
no love, no affection,
no declarations
everlasting
no hot and sizzling
or tender and gentle
or slow and nasty
kinky deranged incredible
improbable impossible
sexual exploits
not in the far future
nor in an exotic past
no meeting
under another star
in a distant land
no coming together
despite all
differences
hardships
misunderstandings
repressed memories
and feelings
too fearful to be
unearthed
no disapproving
families friends coworkers
nor approving ones
for that matter
no bad guys to be caught
or crimes to be solved
no peace offering snubbed
or dissertations leaked
no fights, no makeup sex
no hurt, no comfort
no death, no joy
no tears, no laughter
no
none of the above
not a one
is in
none
