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.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
