RECLUSE
I lean on my heart, feeling it slipping away into an oblivion of aloneness.
My eyes hold teardrops that want to drown me. My stomach is full of pain that i seem to have swallowed in my sleeping and waking hours. Sobs rise in my throat into a broken conversation.
isolation
nature, its wilderness consoles
aloneness the pain
Life is a curtain raiser. I parade my role, a labyrinth knotting my insides, then this unconditional comaraderie breaks into the lonesomeness of my spirit’s desolation.
loneliness
nature your soul’s partner
harvest her rewards
Dawn breaks into the window of my soul, the cosmos senses my essence, my nuances blend into a telepathic epiphany, stirring peace into my quintessence. I evanesce, the scars on my psyche sparkle like gems..from the heart of a loner, an immortal verse…a meditation for tranquility
austere times
reclusive virtues play
one….abstemious..
Thank you Mick..

Would you consider writing about Mars? We play the music and sound effects behind science stories and poems. http://www.BarbozaSpaceCenter.com and Suprschool@aol.com. http://www.VisualJazzOpera.WordPress.com

I would leave the type of poetry open. We are using Native American flutes right now to set the stage for the eight month journey to Mars. We are teaching K-12 students about science and engineering and we don’t want to leave out the visual and performing arts. Bob Suprschool@aol.com

We would perform the poem with music and sound effects and post a copy that you could listen to. Next year, we are going to perform with 50 elementary students in a series of concerts about Mars. The all teachers “Occupy Mars Band” is working on all of the adult music at this time. We are teachers in the Los Angeles area of California.
