Alone

From childhood I have not been as others Were; I’ve not seen what others often see. My passions spring from an alien mother Where once I had swam in a serous sea. I’m a stranger in this world called my home Where all that I Love I have loved alone. I can not awaken this heart of stone Where emptiness thrives and nothing has grown. The deep dark depths of this lone labyrinth Lives a recluse withdrawn from those above Encompassed and confined in defiance Of what those above call brotherly love. Feel not pity nor scorn for aloneness For what people cherish I never missed.
