Compassion embraces a child eternally
That uplifts a child’s soul in isolation in every way.

the damage they are capable of inflicting,

Isolated with apprehensions
Life is merely a complexion of a dream
You'll never be truly awake.

If Sartre was right
and
“Hell Is—Other People”
then
Isolation holds the key

opens perception’s door

Isolation Keeps

Along roads where mistral sweeps
Loneliness within ambles on
Every other step falling, keeps isolation
While, happiness continues out of sync

Little did you ever know, I'm on the brink,
Between the inanity of isolation
And the beckoning of liberation.

I need to love soberly

ISOLATION


        



         when in seclusion                                         
        total absence of colors
           fear that terrifies

Premium Member I Am

I am
fermenting in tedium
emotionally over-reactive
frequently inappropriate
irresponsible but trustworthy
discontentedly powerless
and frequently overwhelmed.

Isolation

I hate the loneliness and the isolation
Loathe the separation and alienation
I have so many words, some quite profane
I might be a humanitarian but this is inhumane
Form: Rhyme

My lone open-boat’s  view
O’er the ocean’s endless blue,
In pristine isolation of polar night
With ethereal electric curtains  - only light.

Premium Member Psychic Lattice


marooned mind 
my capricious creation 
designs psychic lattice
morphs into innate Narcissus
nestled in introvert isolation 
where I am me, aberrant recluse
Form: Verse

Adoration

A gushing response,
deeply forgiving.
Oral translation,
ripe for the picking.
ADORED AREN'T YOU?
Thrilling moments,
Isolation abating,
Overdone on the waiting,
now.
