If You Are Lonely Reading This
for Behnaz
If you are lonely reading this
I want you to know
As I blow a transcendental kiss
By way of hello
Still staying though not staying still
Refraining from complaining so
Remaining without explaining
As the only way to go
With the spacetime fabric in between
What was and what is
As I go I come to be
If you know what I mean
Wondering about destiny
Looking for the rest of me
Knowing it will be the best of me
Doing what I do
Drinking at the breast of the universe my mother
Being and becoming and taking my fill
Seeing you and I exist as one to another
Freeing ourselves as we go to come to be
Each confronted by and encountering the other
Wanting to know you wanting to be known
Wanting you not wanting to be alone
Wanting you to know that if you will I will
Having been alive a long time now
Belatedly beginning to
Make sense of life somehow
At least to the extent of my intent
Unlimited but for what time will allow
When unless space knows
Only time knows where it goes
Or where it went
With the spacetime fabric in between
What is and will be
To come to be as we go
Since you know what I mean
If you are lonely reading this
I want you to know
That I am only lonely until
I remember you
And I do

I enjoy hearing from you.
God bless,

Remember the old expression: loneliness is a state of mind. Well, I've learned that people who profess to be lonely are usually simply "bored" and need to find something to do. Your poem states that concept in the last two lines.
