You can't eat your way out of depression
Take it from me cos I've tried
and whoever said chocolate, was just like ***
well quite frankly my dear, they lied.

The Muse
Craving

An intoxication over my mind
A feeling like I might be left behind

I have to

A thirsty swelling bloodlust
Another reason that I must

Have you

I cannot stop the forces
The feeling as it courses

Through my veins

It is a passion that will never quit
And I know that I will never stop it

Driving me

My heart beats for the thought of you
Every little thing you do

To the edge

I feel a swell that might explode
Travelling swiftly down this road

Of insanity

I can’t live my life without your touch
The yearning I feel is just too much

Oh please

My heart beat begins to race
As run to your embrace

Take me

Feel how I am on fire
Help me quench my desire

I’m yours

One touch isn’t enough
Without you my life becomes so tough

Forever**

My heart to you is what I am giving
Because without you my life is not worth living
I love you; its a secret,
don't let anybody know.
That's why when we are speaking,
I try not to let it show.

I double check each word I say,
before it leaves my lips,
and try to shake this image,
of my hands upon your hips.

So tell me how'm I doing?
Do you even have a clue,
that every waking thought I have,
is always about you?

I wish I could just tell you,
and know you wouldn't run.
But I'm scared this revelation,
would leave us both undone.

I love you; its a secret,
which to myself I'll keep,
cos the last thing that I wanna do,
is come off like a creep.

So I sit here and say nothing,
not knowing what to do.
Praying one day you will say,
just what I am to you.

A stranger visited the Earth,
This is what he saw.

No one could love, love was gone.

No one believed, it wasn't allowed.

No one sought peace, there was only their way.

No one could think, it was done for us.

No one would change, they needed permission.

No one cared, because no one would dare.

The stranger decided to confront those in power,
They lobotomised him to become a no one.

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the. mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

— The End —
