The Recluse Of An Imbalanced Mind

Posted Jun 11, 2026 · 15 lines · 2 critiques

A recurrent recluse of an imbalanced mind ,
A boundless buoy branded astray
with its parched pores of broken ages
bleeding behind
a steadfast regiment of forgone
reveries readily
riddled in whitened benignity .
Its evergoing essence
of a silent voice
pleading to the shining shore
of an spotless sun,
for a repressed reprieve
away from the salted senility
of its benighted
destiny of faded skies.
