I seek yet I do not find, I fly ever closer and yet my goal is ever farther
I feel a need, an anxiety an urge that is insatiable
I taste perfection yet I do not drink from it
I achieve yet it is never enough
Where is it that I wish to go
I sit and look at the constellations the stars grin an wink at me
They pity me, so free yet unaware of my freedom
I might as well be chained for all I know
Held against my subconscious will  
This feeling is uncomfortable
Incomplete
Needy, I try to fill the hole with things
At times I forget it’s there
Elvis okumu Aug 2010
The suns rays fall softly from the heavens
To the cooled earth
Shining dew drops like diamonds
Turning the world into a jewelry shop


I stand at a far end
Staring at it in awe
At the serenity and silence
That eclipses my mind

It is here where my cares and desires
Where the flame is sated and tired
Where the heart blissfully sleeps
While the mind thoughtfully sits

If I could stay and sleep
I would stay at peace
However like a hunter life creeps
And eventually I will leave my bliss
