Why do we always want what we can’t have?
Wouldn’t it be so much easier to want the things we need?
To be happy with what we do have?

But alas
We are but human.
And it is our nature to want
And desire
We can’t have everything
And if we’re always wanting something
Then how will we ever be happy?

She dances in the cloak of death
Her heart palpitating
slow
time ticks onward

She dances in the cloak of light
Her eyes sparkling
morose
time ticks onward

She dances in the cloak of despair
Her feet forlorn
quivering
time ticks onward

She dances in the cloak of hope
Her breath intoxicated
poisonous
time ticks onward

She dances in the clock of birth
Her hands trembling
languidly
time ticks onward

I zone out
Staring at the light
Everything becomes
A big bright blur
When suddenly
I wake up
And wonder
*What just happened?

"A Gambling Game"

Mark the Number
Time rolls In
Another Toll

Chance they Say
No         Beat the odds
Clatter
Spin
Caving in, Weakening

All your chips In
A chance of fate
No            luckwins

Another Round
Last cards In
Streak     Bro Ken
Nothing  Spo Ken
Spin.        DiceCease
  All still
     Until
         Die
