Dearth and duress

Theres all so much and so less in me.. My eyes and my heart are but reckless youth Shouldnt you wonder for a moment before burdening it so Quite a lot of you Weighs my dear heart, down like an anchor Shame that it Seldom grounds What that is about you The pondering is long and listless The something that gnaws at my heart incessantly and leaves it all cold and in peril Oh to gather you and all your colours and rhymes Till forever ceases, if i could The smile such of the breeze in summers harsh beating It hurts, this malady of hearts But you just walk by And i, Have tides , ebbing back and forth my chest Waves of bliss bidding farewell Id clutch and grasp at the migrant waters Theyd slip right out, drag me behind for just a little stretch Then leave, no words for the orphan at the sands You're out of arms reach, Sweet sanctum of serenity, An island that dwells in dreams And our destiny is of the twisted stars and a frayed red twine...
