Modern Day Recluse


Shunned but the masses
in awed by the few,
unable to get over
all that he knew.

Perched in his castle
tucked away in the clouds,
replaying events --
and all it endowed.

Secluded from the world
shrouded in the past,
imprisoned by walls
built out of glass.

Searching for solitude
hidden from the crowd,
trapped in his misery
screaming out loud.

Blinded by hate --
violence stole his heart,
robbing his spirit
his life torn apart.

No joy in his life --
love to be found,
abandoned by the gods
forsaking holy ground.

Wronged by the heavens
fearing his thoughts,
reliving the past --
seeming so lost.

His pillar of strength
nowhere to found,
lonely and afraid
her presence all around.

Just trying to live
weighed on his soul,
resentful and scared
taking its toll.

Burying his anger
despair filled the air,
embracing the dark
was all he could bare.

Retreating to a sanctuary
away from all sound,
a modern day recluse --
with the world all around.

Sounds like the life of a creative type, @macksby. We hold so much inside. Cheers to you, my friend.

Yeah, those creative types -- bunch of whackos :))
Thanks @fairytalelife -- CHEERS!

You know you are one of them - this is how we roll, mack.

I wouldn't have it any other way @fairytalelife :))!

LOL, yup, the best kind of wackos!

Yes, we need our alone time...for sure. Sometimes I would like to have Harry Potter's invisibility cloak. That's going on my Christmas list. Lol.

I hear that...
Now, I know what to get you for Christmas :))

Yes, I'll take it off my list then. : )
