Do I wish to think? To dream the unimaginable. The mind of a viper; Ambitious swipe towards intent. Yet, its possessed fangs drip, Such venom. A gradual drip would Destroy the work. “What work?” I hear you ask. “Exactly” I whisper. There is none to behold. With all my gall And flapping gums, such spittle Did not exist. I crave to bite the apple of my existence… Lingering doubt, lingering hope. Can I foresee the future? Can I not think? Sigh To exist with intent…

Exist with Intent
A wish upon a star, That does not exist Only in my head, I will persist. A night after day, I gaze at the sky. At my wish upon a star, A star sparkling so high. I may have my doubts, still At least I will hope. That my wish will one day come true But for now, I will cope.

A Wish Upon A Star
The water edge laps at my feet. I cannot imagine the depth of its reach, Nor can I fathom the whole body ****** out before the horizon. There is something alluring about the freshness of it all. Caress against my thighs, the wetness Wrapping around my limbs. Let me mingle, With your murky waters... May I touch your bed? Coarse at first until I mold it into my desire. The airy hole keeps me afloat. Please be patient, for my lack of it is withholding me. Benign ache lingers, that needs to dissolve... Seeking only the shallow end for now, where the warmth can never leave. I may drown if I go further... A chance of worth do you see?
