They line the streets
And on every  corner
One "ailment" or the other
A family,  sometimes brother and sister.

Crying in a song
Singing with one voice
All covered up in fake injuries
Lamenting about past glories

They line the streets
Crowding every corner
Always a bother
Clinging to our knees
In their deliberately torn dresses

Keep them away from us
Stop them from touching us
With their deceptive illusions
Appealing to our emotions
With empathetic persuasions
And now our money is gone.

It fuels my imagination
Intensifies my passion
And directs my emotions

Overwhelm me and let me create.

The rays of the sun
Shines through the transparent glass window
Illuminating the room
Sunbeams playing around
With shadows on the ground
My gaze upon a golden figure
Glowing in the standing mirror
Teasing me
Into a world of timelessness
And endless whispers
Roaring within me
With laborious vigor
It’s heat most appealing
In this dry cold.
Shadows appearing on the edges
At the end of the sun’s rays
Dancing on the edges
Taunting me
Yet teasing me
With unspoken words
A glamorous invitation
To a sonorous congregation
In the shadows
Beyond the rays of the sun.
My heart is constantly being plagued
Or maybe punished by all that my heart desires...
This want
This need
This desire
They are unending
They never depart
They go around with me wherever I go
I sleep and wake up  with them
It’s like this weight I’m cursed to bear
This world is filled with wants
Unending wants
You have to find happiness in the little things
So as to avoid being defeated by the monster
Desires
Wants
Needs
It’s always lurking around.
I know a lot of words
I’ve read a lot of books
But words...
I don’t know how to put out
I want someone so in sync with me
Someone that hears the phrase, the clause, the sentence, the paragraph, the page, the chapter, the book behind every single word I say...
someone that listens

I do a lot of things
I write a lot of things
But words...
How do I say out loud
My thoughts,
The expressions of my heart,
When I fear the words I will not receive
I just want someone who at my words, heart quickens.
...

I jump a lot of hoops
Over and over
Like we're in a time loop
But words...
I try to express over and over
Till I just might expire.
But for one whom my heart desires
I'll do it over and over
Forever
And I'm not mad
Or caught in a lustful heart's trap
It's just my quest for reciprocation
Of my very heart full emotions
I just want someone who loves me
Like my kind of love.

Every individual posses it
But control we have not
It comes once but never again
It comes and gone it is for all eternity
Deceiver it is
Presenting you with an illusion
That it will forever abide with you
It comes once but never again

With each second, minute, hour that passes there’s a change tho unseen it may be
but a change it is
A wail, very loud , celebration and tears of joy
a baby is born
It’s a girl the doctor yells
A wail, filled with so much agony
So much pain,death just took one of their own
Why!!! They yell
Deceiver you are
It comes once but never again

Unseen is it ways
Today you were born
Tomorrow you birth your child
The next a grandchild
Death comes knocking
Where did all the time go you ask?
Deceiver it is
It comes once but never again

Friendly words I part with
Time we say ,there’s time
But there’s none!
You will never see this same time on this same day in this same year it’s gone!
Make the best of every second you get

— The End —
