poetry by Michael F. Nyiri
"Solitaire" 44th Cathy poem I know it's late and I can't sleep I see the light, I sigh to weep Remember darting eyes so close to my face I turn around and wipe a tear Face in my pillow, a stifled "dear" Remember darting eyes so close to my face Those darting eyes I realize Are filled with touching care They answer whats they answer whys They have love, all they can spare But I need you right here and now I need you standing there I'm in the dark I'm in the night I'm nowhere I'm playing solitaire Oh solitaire I want to know when you're not there Do you really, yes you seem to care Remember friendly lips Remember finger tips Remember darting eyes so close to my face Up out of bed eyes closed so tight I feel like screaming so full of fight Please tell me Jesus Just try to please us Remember darting eyes so close to my face Those darting eyes I realize Are filled with touching care They answer whats they answer whys They have love, all they can spare But I need you right here and now I need you standing there I'm in the dark I'm in the night I'm nowhere I'm playing solitaire Oh solitaire I'm in a lonely , enraptured bind And I can't blame you, you've been so kind Remember darting eyes so close to my face I've waited eons, to feel your love The stars fell out of the sky above Remember darting eyes so close to my face. Those darting eyes I realize Are filled with touching care They answer whats they answer whys They have love, all they can spare But I need you right here and now I need you standing there I'm in the dark I'm in the night I'm nowhere I'm playing solitaire Oh solitaire I'm playing solitaire Oh solitaire
