LONELY HARVEST
Countdown to eclectic enchantment
Holy seed now blooms
Rattled nomenclature
Such clever words to offer
So few to comprehend
Rejection letters rampant
Misunderstood by countless millions
Frank poetic journey
A desolate road indeed
Cynical conundrum
I weave with nimble malaise
Twisted savoir-fare
Share an intimate glimpse
My wounded self admiration
Once a narcissistic martyr
Entombed in vacuous gloom
Sensory deprivation
Arrogance eradicated
Harsh poverty of loneliness
Just rewards for my crimes
The sentence
Impartial
Apropos
Reap now as I have sown
