Drinking Alone
Drinking alone
In the dark
Nursing a rum and coke
With too much rum
Staring across the ocean at
My lover
Nursing a beer
On the beach
Watching the sun set
Without me

This poem feels very quiet, yet very powerful all at the same time.

Thank you. It’s also very true.
I wrote it after getting off the phone (in California) with my fiance (in Hawaii) bemoaning his month-long field job there, pulling him away from me until just weeks before our wedding. Hence it being dark here and sunset across the (Pacific) ocean, and both of us being quite lonely.
