Lead around neck
spun of quiet, gourmet silk
no comfort has gone unfulfilled
yet still, I am
(though I try to make light of it)
uneasy in your world

but you’ve an audience before you
at this moment
and I am paralyzed
by the overpowering
seduction of your performance.

Some people never give us peace, yet we manage to love them. Great poem, Duncan

To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world.

"sometimes you have to make yourself known"

Reaching out to the unknown may be exhilerating to the adventurous spirit, but it can be terrifying to one who feels the shards of pain through thin skin surrounding a sensitive ego.  Discretion may be "the better part of valor" or it may be a thin cloak for cowardice, a garment that the 'Recluse' has worn and become accustomed to for such a long time.

Your poem.. delightful and very thought provoking. Nice write.
