Protected By Loneliness
I can't recall
how long I have been desolated,
and rejected by all,
living within these cement walls,
emanating wishes unheard by anyone;
staying indolent and thoughtless
with this soul gnashing:
so futile and drawn...
Too long
protected by loneliness,
too soon
to think of an incursion
and reprimand myself
of my impudence
for having been so inadvertent;
a reputed dreamer
demanding impossible things
to bring them to a conclusion...
Too long retreated
and secluded to have distorted thoughts;
and not to recite this pious prayer,
instead of an useless outcry...
Too deviant and improbable
to follow a straight course,
fight for something desired
to finally hang
my flag of victory
on the tallest pinnacle...
Too long
protected by loneliness,
too unfeasible
to undertake fear and be responsible;
my hopes are fraught with feebleness,
and my phantom
always wanders past a wan dream:
never to feel the emotional warmth of a hand...
