Welcome 2006

I am a Rock

A winter’s 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.
I’ve built walls,A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.

I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It’s laughter and it’s loving
I disdain.
I am a rock,I am an island.

Don’t talk of love,
But I’ve heard the words before;
It’s sleeping in my memory.
I won’t 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.

From the song of same title..
