A Distant Shore

A Distant Shore



Beached upon a distant shore I wondered about my life 

Beseeched by solitude all I could pour out was sadness & strife 

I reached for something in the distance that looked like it was a knife 

It taught me to be indifferent as I knew my thoughts were running rife



Extending out with a notion leading my mind toward the dawn

Pretending that without devotion things are soon to be forewarned 

Defending all of the commotion as my spirit lays there torn 

Upending my torrents of emotion as I pray to be reborn 



Pertinent proclivities that can’t hold onto prevention 

Militant sensibilities that keep you a candidate for detention 

Indeterminate absurdities that seek creativity for invention 

Recalcitrant eligibility’s that defy the next mass organised convention 



Incantations of a prophecy that came true far too soon 

Lamentation of Sophocles by the light of the full moon 

Emanations of soliloquies that are about espoused around high noon 

Invitations of proclivity that contrive while I turn up the latest tune 



Observations of vibrant conversations while I go without vocalisation 

Sensations of reserved consternations bring about the elevation 

Emulations of salivation over something close to revelation 

Colourations of computations that lead me toward general devastation
