It’s easy to make me the villain, I sure do a good job without trying. I wonder about what is unseen. Does the thought of me sting the tongue, make you grind your teeth… When is the score settled and the hidden revealed?

I’m so ashamed of all the things I’ve done in my sleep. Wicked sirens of love sing so sweetly that I think to be one until the deep swallows me.

Solitude is the way of the wise. I have no desire for the outer world, only my garden and art – my monastery of daydreams.

Burden sticks to the skin, obligations of decorum swirl on the surface and then that song. I’ve seen enough of the people in this world. I always serve my pound of flesh and yet it seems I’m the thief lying about the under taste. There’s no more mystery in sex, only dicks and pussies, it’s all rancid.

I’ll stay away.

I especially like this sentence: "I have no desire for the outer world, only my garden and art – my monastery of daydreams." It reminded me of my own reflections.

Thank you @doriyan. I find that is the best thing about the written word, we are connected by experience and yet each of us shines it back in a unique way. We know each other by these signatures. :)

I relate. So well written my friend! <3

Beautiful. I love "burden sticks to the skin" you are right, it does.

Thank you kindly -- that means a lot coming from a great writer as you.
