Solitary Confinement


The death of the Berlin Wall
Destruction of the Great Wall of China
The Wall of Pyramis and Thisby shattered
Into sand by a single action
Reverberated by past weeks
Strengthened by electricity
Mere dust

Yet before this day
A wall was not built
Rather a distance created
Awkward merged with sensitivity
The fleeting ink of this pen
Seconds from draining dry
Musters final hope

Mauled by today, now drizzling
Soon to pour
Rain, Ink, Emotions
Verge of a tear
The worst to come
A sour day gone sour

I shall glow with passion
Random passing ignoring
Buckets from my eyes
Yesterday had support
Today I stand alone
...
