Forced Recluse

frail reception
connotes faith failure
play out contract
til severance allays
loss of contact
illuminating
non-existent compact
trodding on
through warring particles
realizing
it`s all re-working
of Sophocles' vision
such suggestion
of theoretical prediction
a treasure hidden
in sight plain
wafting through
lazy haze
looming over
temporal days
despite intuition
educational guesses
even during light-bulb moments
the beard continues greying
no amount of working
or playing
amassing
or harassing
blots out
Chronos' constant passing
outlasting
ephemeral distractions
impertinent reactions
personalitities
in traction
during
impersonal interactions
practical tacticians
pointless decisions
create impotent eunichs
vying for
stylish tunics
ignoring ageless Runes
lost among contemporary ruse
thus due to centuries
of precious Gifts misuse
they expire in mire
stuck in vessels crude
while those ordained
with alternate views
carry the seed
to elude the noose
exist just as temporarilly
in forced recluse
