Solitude

`~,,~`

Solitude

Origins, 14th century;

The quality of being alone,

Seclusion in an uninhabited place,

Old thoughts die, an a new one begins,

The kiss of the spider, and echoed touch of silence

In solitude, I have craved being alone,

A search to be pure, apart from ghosts of the dark

The confusion sets in, and has bruised my face,

Can I be as one, in a symphony of life when it lies all the time

How can I be alone when I’m alone all the time,

In my created mold of the faces of old friends; desire, darkness and me,

It comes back again, crashing against a locus of control

The only map my minds ever been down

Lord; I have been hard to please,  

And I can feel it coming,

Pouring out colors frozen in rhyme,

Howling from the faces of every page in my book

That I am part of the problem, as well as solution

Within this dark beacon… kept vigilant,

Watching from watchtowers of stone, crepusculed over hell

No, I cannot simply pretend that I can rebuild this again

In solitude, I have been drunken, and written down,

In pages of the book, of a curious onlooker:
