The eternal question

Curled up on the star-lit back patio

in an oversized zero gravity chair

on a fabulously comfortable bright cushion,

mesmerised  by the citronella candles

flickering in the fire pit,

I consider my contentment,

my delight at being alone

in this perfectly ordered world of mine.

Truly, I am very relaxed and happy.


So why, oh why,

does a tiny corner of my mind wish that...

I could be sharing this evening peace

with a partner?


It's my perfect evening.


What would be the point of screwing it up?
