When it's finally over
Despite some new big bang
Desensitized to algorithms
I'll still be writing
Passionately in vain

The Poetic pen
Can never ceases
The heart that feels
The eyes that bleed

I will always share
My love with you
My misery
My shocking truths

Vibration within a listening ear
My voice is but a breath of air
Caught within the winds of change
Nearing the end of sound's domain
.....

It had been brought to my attention
Such feelings are not our inventions
The hunger is actually what we are
In degree of unconscious decisions
Made with reptilian brain stems
It's a wonder we got this far

Still I want more
More than the hungry poor
More like a hungry lions roar
Posed to pounce
Upon the prey
I would love
To touch
Your pretty face
And share my hungry heart
With you
After all
Aren't you hungry too?

AGAIN

I dreamt of you again last night
As so many times before
Again I held you oh so tight
I could have never loved you more

Again I tried to make you stay
I was never quite that strong
Again you turned and walked away
I often wondered what went wrong

Together we made a commitment
To death do us part
But again I lost you before dawn
And again you broke my heart...
