Solitary Voice
by David Soriano
A strange and disturbing voice
Whispers, suggestions and lectures
A world of reality and future predictions
Built inside his nocturnal mind.
Impossible to function
intrapersonal obsession
Certainly a constrained compulsion
Dysfunctional voyages into speculation
Sunlight streaming in the windows
Then my voice finally fades away
A broken link into conjecture
I know he’s not insane.
The laughter in my voice
Knowing he must live with this alone
Forces beyond his control
He dare tell no one of our conversations

David Soriano teaches chemistry at the University of
Pittsburg for a living. Other details in his own words: “I
enjoy the world of poetry and the people in it. I enjoy writing poems
dealing with nature, time, altered states of consciousness. I also
write "disjointed poetry" which I hope will develop into a unique
writing style in time.”
