Isolated

ISOLATED

                    Confined in isolated island.   
                    Constrained in desolate dismal
                     drowning in darkness of despondence,
                     eagerly expecting for magical spell,
                      but actually awaiting for last bell
                                 to ring :
                         I am ready to leave.
                      
                      Narcissistic demeanor ! Sullen surly.
                       Frigid moments not to thaw
                        Suffocated smothered in forlorn environ 
                       Rigid heart shedding dry tears
                       Playing aimless games in vain
                        Neither to achieve nor to gain

                         Dreamless dull days :
                            Purposeless colourless.
                             Shattered disturbed lone heart.
                              How to avail of affable amiable abode !
                             
                                  No indication of magic spell !
                                   But to wait for call of last bell !
                                     In last phase passion to blaze :
                                    Fizzled flickered vision blurred !
                                    I am ready to leave.
