desires and longings 
Posted: 3/12/2006 10:03:30 PM 

I lost the race though I wanted to win
seems like the others have done it again
doesn't seem different actually quit the same
desires and longings are a selfish deadly sin

well that is one way you could think about them
another might be they are inspiration for a pen
see nothing is really the same way when
you have the flower but you don't have a stem

thinking some more in a strange way now
the colours of darkness break romance
taking toomany souls in the exotic dance
drinking and stinking of where when and how

the desire to know may keep the longings at bay
letting a mind stray across undulating forms
a wallflower no more to be your norm
take warning as to what you choose to say

now we can take that other topic back
fill in the blanks with wisdom or joke
sit back relaxed or make another note
of some cleché like "say no to crack"

then i think of the poster of long ago
two fat plumbers fixing the sink
bent over enough to smell the stink
the picture with cleché is quite a show

I long for more humour and desire nothing less
this big old world mess I must confess is trying
while thanks a more of everything it may be dying
so while sighing I try not to get over stressed.

Now you'v followed my journey along a poetic thought path
with patience I think you needed to follow the beat
sometimes not sticking strictly to the tappin of feet
still its time to stop the rhyme and go to "asleep in the bath"
