Your dancing flicker
is like some shrill laugh
Echoing
in the pitted caverns within my mind

Your faint glow
is like a moaning ghost
Mocking
me at my accomplishments now dead

Your intoxicating aroma
is a buttermilk dream
Cascading
down unexplored gorges of my heart

Your seared wick
is that unreachable goal
Taunting
me to feel it while it’s red-hot

Your waxen smoothness
is my warm desire
Evaporating
slowly into a grey nothingness

Your annealed remnants
are my silenced dreams
Struggling
desperately for another vain life

Oh.. your gaze
Has me in a daze
Sets senses ablaze
In a perplexing maze

Oh.. your smile
Leaving me senile
Of no intention vile
Making me feel servile

Oh.. your touch
It’s just too much
Racing heart I clutch
It invokes feelings such

Oh.. your dream
Like a fluid stream
Musical it may seem
Making tired eyes gleam

Oh.. your devotion
It arouses my emotion
Leaves me with no notion
And works like magic potion

Oh.. your openness
Serves like a harness
On my willing awareness
Towards this togetherness

Oh.. your intensity
The ferocious audacity
Drives my keen propensity
Towards your endless capacity

Oh.. your expression
It allows no digression
Makes a strong impression
Now has me in its possession

Oh.. your persistence
This impactful insistence
Questions my very existence
And it shatters all my resistance

I Desire, But I Wish…

Tags

Desire, Hardly coincide, Poetry, Wish

I want to raft the waters white
But I need to stay within my sight

I want to have a choco tart
But I need someone with the sweetest heart

I want to roam all o’er the world
Yet I need to stay right by him, curled

I want to ski down the slopes
But I need to be up on the hopes

I want to fly by greens and seas
But I need to keep my mind at ease

I want myself to look the best
But I need to ace at life’s main test

I want it all, I want to shine
But I need myself never to whine

So I may want the wants I see
But I will need to be true to me
