#secluded
“I’m writing this somewhere secret, and green, and beautiful..
Sparkling water and intoxicating seclusion
That I should be drinking in with relief.
But all I can think of is how badly I wish you were here with me to share in this solitude.
We could wander for hours amongst blossoming weeds, and forget what happened that left us bereft”

do they wonder about who I am
about who I was
about who I could be?
or am I just a face?
trapped in the cage that is society
with no known key to fit the lock.

My lips on wine, my mind on you,
sip
sip
sip
My mind on wine, my lips on you.
sip
sip
sip
Intoxication pure and sweet,
I drink it deep.
With my lips on you
my mind with you
my whine in yours,
a sweet elixir
we drink deeply.
Intoxication.

Breathtakingly stark
icy pools in somber eyes
distant, secluded

They let me out today,
The demons in my head.
Left the gate unlocked,
"Leave the cage," they said.
I took one step outside,
The sunlight burned my skin.
My body wanted to leave,
But my mind stayed in.
I've left the cage before,
Several years ago.
I escaped that time,
They didn't let me go.
As I left the cage,
Thoughts flooded in.
Thoughts of things I've done,
Thoughts of where I've been.
I got too overwhelmed,
By my presently haunting past.
I could've been their first escape,
But I always finish last.

Some are like caged hens
banging there heads on the
metal metaphors of desperations.
Non confirmative to the needs of seclusion,
as they were once free range.
The eggs of doubt and walking in
secluded circles,
can drive one to
desperation!
or even to the moment of silence.
We all are meant to be free range,
and now were battery hens,
running out of charge..

Brilliant...
I thought I wanted this
secludedness,
but most birds don't fly
without their flocks.
Repeatedly,
I am taking off.
I'm journeying to mountain tops.
I say my dears, I'll be back
When I find the shell
that hides my prize,
only to wonder why I am lost
caging myself from
passing life.

When I get sad
I liked to curl into a ball
That way I can pretend
That I dont exist at all
Within that ball
I hide my self
In hard to find places
Tight and secluded
I always find the right spaces
Hidden from the prying eyes
Of the people all around
Gossip spread by word of mouth
Makes my head spin round
I close my eyes tightly
Cover my ears with my hands
knees tucked away
becoming as small as I can
Using the logic of a child
Who's too afraid to come out
If I can't see them, they cant see me
Let's pretend its true, Forget the doubt
Underneath a cloud of sin
Beautifully dark and secluded
Within this sadness i dwell
My Problems concluded
I'm a little ball of safety
Built especially for me
Hush now be silent
Just leave me be

Another me
There was another me
But not the better me,
But so carefree,
A better me,
That’s who I am today,
So secluded that I may be
A better me,
I brought
Happy go lucky joy,
To many,
You might say I was a golden boy,
A better me,
That’s who I am today,
So secluded that I may be,
A better me,
I can’t be the madcap
I used to be,
Simply,
I would not wish to be,
A better me,
That’s who I am today,
So secluded that I may be,
A better me.

She doesn’t like to leave the house.
Her mother disapproves.
‘Why don’t you go socialise?’
She could, but with who?
Her fictional prince?
Those middle-aged band members?
Her favourite characters in that one book?
She has embraced her isolation.
Mother will just have to do so too.

A simple cottage
On a calm secluded hill:
Here contentment dwells.
