I do not crave solitude
I mask the emptiness in privacy
I fear the isolation
I see the yawning chasm of separateness
I feel in my heart the seclusion
I give in to the loneliness
Out of the quarrel with others we make rhetoric; out of the quarrel with ourselves we make poetry. (W.B. Yeats) Here lies that which is inside no more, that which burns my mind and must be expelled. Here lies the greatest of all inventions. Here lies words.

Upon Barren Rocks
19/10/2020 – Poem a Day Compilation
I sat upon barren rocks
Watching the boats pass by
I sat upon barren rocks
Watching the birds fly high
The waves crashed below my feet
The fishermen cast their lines
The waves crashed below my feet
The fishermen dreamt of summer wines
The sun glinted off the sea
As dolphins danced in the waves
The sun glinted off the sea
As dolphins passed hidden caves
I sat upon barren rocks
Watching wispy white clouds drift by
I sat upon barren rocks
Watching the world sigh
I sat upon barren rocks
Watching the boats pass by
I sat upon barren rocks
Watching the birds fly high
The waves crashed below my feet
The fishermen cast their lines
The waves crashed below my feet
The fishermen dreamt of summer wines
The sun glinted off the sea
As dolphins danced in the waves
The sun glinted off the sea
As dolphins passed hidden caves
I sat upon barren rocks
Watching wispy white clouds drift by
I sat upon barren rocks
Watching the world sigh
