Alone With You Poem by Carla Sofia Puebla

My corporeal entity
Stands right next to
Your alluring essence.

I silence my own thoughts
In a baffled, despairing admiral,
To welcome your peculiar dissertations.

Regardless of my ethereal persona,
Your introspections convey in me
An ineffable ataraxia,
That I cannot quite grasp.

Yet your presence,
Such grandeur, such eloquence,
Such rare demeanor

Accentuates my alienation,
Isolated from the world
Where I came into existence.

A world of never ending expectations,
Of hopelessness, rejection,
Infatuation.
