Dark temptations

Where are we alone? Really! when? Having a little chat with our fears that pop up knowing us only too well, .....our mighty, overpowering fears

When are we alone really? Listening to our superstitions, arguing with them, fighting them...winning sometimes, failing sometimes....making peace sometimes, not doing so sometimes

Where are we alone really? Giving voice to our creepy confusions...justifying our actions to ourselves and our consciences,

Convincing ourselves and our desires, bargaining, negotiating....

Where are we alone really? Building taller and taller walls of values and beliefs, feeling trapped unaware....

Where are we alone really? Trying so hard to push far away from us, our clingy guilt

Sometimes the white robed hope visits us too, waving its magical wand whose effects we keep waiting for to take form....but by now, we are not sure if angels and goodness exist...and if they do, if we like them too much?

Our desires find the people we want to meet too...and we watch our desperation fight our desires, and often win....

So where are we alone really?

not even when we are asleep...there are subconscious / residual - thoughts / emotions to keep us company then. the fleeting blank moment whenever it surfaces is so precious !
