Desire
for Want
Atlantis
searches the depths of the Pacific, for the arctic stench of egoism.
To
stand out in vain, look at me.
I
impress a thousand phantasmagorias upon you.
Suddenly
Insanity
Sending
grams of vision we portray
Of
the Self
Give
me the honor of your potent admiration cloaked in envy.
Pulled
by a precocious embrace
The
moon vibrantly motions untoward a morose state.
Bottled
boundaries engulf the rapture of entrapment.
Fanfares
of hallucination behold a fantasy.
Your
grasp tightens, tensely, silently drawn.
Feed
her Dionysius.
Assiduously,
Venus surrenders to a valiant tenderness.
Taunted
by the thorns of vehemence
Only
to be mocked by the dungeon of longing desires.
Winds
of fury, bondage
Exposed
and full of silent serenity, we want for nothing more than devotion.
A
technocratic civilization of strangers we don’t need to know. Life is like that now.
The
golden goose searches for her gosling.
The
cries of candor are calling, to you. Answer the message.
Dignity
is a dwindling dilemma. Vexation of
desire becomes the vestibule for solitude.
Below
the awning, a begotten stare is distorted.
Booking
a season to face the captor, Insanity links us by chattered chirpings of mediocrity
Thoughts,
at times, scattered with compassion.
A
glance, a touch, a sound disoriented by the text of indolence,
Throbbing
fingers, thumb our cherished moments.
We
praise with grams of insanity. Instantly
Ecstasy
of attention jolts to a state of wonderment. Do not part with me.
I
dreadfully fear the delight beyond this muddled reality.
Let
me remain in captivity, dismayed.
