  • No man is an island

    In reference to my last post and in an effort to even up both sides, I feel the need to point out the fact no man is an island... nor is any woman.

    I wish I'd understood this all those years ago when I was striving to keep my emotions bottled up inside me...

    In a crowded place I felt alone
    And never knew quite why
    I could not reach for others
    No matter how I tried.

    My life was one of solitude
    Enclosed within a ring
    Of self constructed battlements
    Where no-one heard me sing.

    If only I had realised
    The folly of my ways
    How sad a way for any man
    To spend his lonely days...

  • I am a rock...

    A winters day
    In a deep and dark december;
    I am alone,
    Gazing from my window to the streets below
    On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
    I am a rock,
    I am an island.
    Ive built walls,
    A fortress deep and mighty,
    That none may penetrate.
    I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
    Its laughter and its loving I disdain.
    I am a rock,
    I am an island.

    Dont talk of love,
    But Ive heard the words before;
    Its sleeping in my memory.
    I wont disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
    If I never loved I never would have cried.
    I am a rock,
    I am an island.

    I have my books
    And my poetry to protect me;
    I am shielded in my armor,
    Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
    I touch no one and no one touches me.
    I am a rock,
    I am an island.

    And a rock feels no pain;
    And an island never cries.
