It has its perks:
No compromising.
No disappointing relationships
when the ecstasy of falling
in love has tapered off.
No walking on eggs.
No broken hearts.
No arguments and hurtful words.
No cheating or deceitful behavior.
Total peace of mind with no ripples in
your serenity.
Free and self determined to the max.
Worthwhile tradeoffs for a life without love
despite the occasional agonies,
and the longings.
That arise on the surface of your serenity
because of the inborn need
for a significant someone
to fill your life with affection and love.

Quomodo cogis comas tuas sic videri?
79, cancer survivor, work out 3 times a week, ride my exercise bike 2 hours daily. Began writing poetry October 2023, living in Greensboro, North Carolina, originally from just outside of Boston, MA.
Retired and enjoying a solo, reclusive life always researching and gaining knowledge. Most of my poems are fictional.
I write about many things: Spirituality, Mysticism, the Paranormal, Cryptids, Werewolves, Ghosts, 411s, Nature, Birds, Animals, Romantic Love, Death, NDEs, Women Persecuted as Witches, Fictional Characters I Create, News Stories, AI, Robots, Insects, like the poem entitled, Hail Caesar Bob, (about when bees were swarming me outside the door to my apartment), and many other topics. I write a minimum of 3 poems daily, sometimes more.
