Insatiable Lonliness

by oddi tea   Oct 30, 2014


Drifting atop a rickety raft of confidence bound with fragile stands
of self worth, amid a sea of doubts, pain and remorse
who's breadth is matched only by unfathomed leagues.

Soul bared to the world's harsh judging suns
never set yet light and warmth are absent from.

Delicate layers
of reconstructed self image constantly flayed
by skillful blades of winds uttered silently from unknown origins,
perhaps from a wayward butterfly?

Demands for knowledge cacophonous
drowns out sweet melodies of wisdom

Insatiable hunger for company
constantly taunted be delectable bounties of vast varies
amongst the sea of sorrows,
not touched for fear of dredging up the vigilant beasts
of opportunity just out of mindful view.

I was thinking of how to end it or if they should be broken up?
19 minutes ago

Insatiable hunger for company constantly taunted
be delectable bounties, vast varies of fish
amongst the sea of sorrows,
never touched for fear of dredging up the vigilant and
horrific beasts of opportunity hiding just out of mindful view.

A mirage or mirrored image ghastly floating in the distance,
uncertain of there intention or reality?
Stealing brief glances hoping they look back
but to afraid to lock eyes.

Forced to ride the undercurrent,
helpless to change course with out locomotion.
Waiting to sail, hoping for a good rudder
and first mate with sextant and compass.
