Suddenly I found myself an island
Floating across the never-ending seas of woes. A waste of vast resources Unattended? Neglected? Overlooked? How long can I in tranquility repose- Rejoice in my rhymes? Beyond the horizon of inspiration A vacant vacuum welcomes me. My Muse thirsts for experience Shallow or deep! Come people! Wage war in my realm Shatter this isolated peace. Or at least prick me So I may write in pain Or bomb my alienated island So I may write in terror. Hurt me to write For happiness is a world afar. Let me secede from the sedate state Seclusion grows me numb. I want Someone to love Someone to hate To let feelings run through every vein. For The past is oblivious Future is bleak The present is a puzzle Caught in a never-ending maze. |
