Victor Buhagiar Poet Free verse

A Crave For Elation

Perhaps I dream.
Or live in some stupor,
dreading hallucinations.
Why can’t I have
Iridescent reveries?
Perhaps it’s all in the mind,	
The aptitude of what I don’t require.

But it is not what I want.
I want to be in heaven,
to feel the ecstasy of love.
It matters not if I am happy or sad,
feel a well being or a pain,
I only yearn for an euphoria
that's hard to define.
 
I wake covered in sickly sweat,
I feel reality but alas
the dream ebbs into oblivion,
and there only remains
an inexplicable crave.

Sara Kendrick August 9, 2022 at 10:14 AM I found another upon which I had not read and commented upon. They say that love releases feel good hormones which is a good thing, but it also connects the lovers in a special way, but I think some people lack that hormone. LOL.. You being so supportive of my work also makes me feel good. Sara

Caren Krutsinger January 16, 2021 at 7:35 PM I too want to be in heaven, but not yet Victor. We both know it is not our choice. Sweetly penned.

Andrea Dietrich January 14, 2021 at 1:56 PM Splendid writing, Victor. I hope you get all you dream of.

Kim Rodrigues January 14, 2021 at 11:38 AM I only yearn for euphoria! I hope you find it in buckets (plenty of it!)

Vijay Pandit January 12, 2021 at 6:19 AM Keep dreaming my friend--the hints of euphoria suggest a way to heaven. You speak eloquently, Victor, for many who explore such thoughts in reveries.

Tom Cunningham January 12, 2021 at 4:22 AM We all want that something better and our earthly existence can't alway give us what we crave for, we have to be patient and wait for the next life to give us that better life. Tom
