I creep through this life unheard and unseen.
A woman's touch is forbidden treasure.
When close to a woman I feel unclean.
Their disdain I receive in full measure.

A woman's touch is forbidden treasure.
My fears heighten my desire all the more.
Their disdain I receive in full measure.
Quiet disregard evens each old score.

My fears heighten my desire all the more.
Even their scorn is a heady delight.
Quiet disregard evens each old score.
Passion prevents my return to the Night.


Even their scorn is a heady delight.
Much of my worth is based on self-deceit.
Passion prevents my return to the Night.
Women have made this deception complete.

Much of my worth is based on self-deceit.
This lie has been uncovered just in time.
Women have made this deception complete.
I now unravel that lie with my rhyme.

This lie has been uncovered just in time.
When close to a woman I feel unclean.
I now unravel that lie with my rhyme.
I creep through this life unheard and unseen.

Such a well written pantoum...such a distressing subject. You projected the feelings very well.
