Reclusive Writer

Reclusive Writer 
Avoid society 
Avoiding the light 
Always a pen in hand 
Footprints in the sand 
Ponder the night 
Black ink bleeds off the pages 
Mind always racing 
Reasoning between the lines 
A poet is isolated 
Solitude in darkness 
Just a small candle glaring 
My shadow whispers next to me 
Focus on my work 
A cemetery is planted next door 
A reclusive writer 
A mystery story teller 
Dragging behind on paper 
Mind fading at dusk 
Empty spaces 
Empty thoughts 
Sometimes, writer's block 
Eyes are blurry 
Another cigar burning 
Locked up in my room 
Pages are crumpled up 
A new title  
For a new poem 
We are writers in the dark 
We are chained to the desk  
We write on
