Everything I wanted

Everything I wanted, and I never had, Embodying courage to sift my daily realities To observe purified sun flashing on my face And watch the night light idling on my pillow, Unlocking sweet dreams, To delight my indeterminable moment, Without distressing struggles, Pulled all over by miserable shadows, While pursuing matters of the heart Yearning for secrets buried inside forgotten palaces, Building statues of emptiness Enforcing the code of the dead and the living, With hope being my only sympathizer Through freezing winter nights Never had chance to gaze at the looking glass, Never visualize spring could encircle me, With blooming images to cheer my immortal being As enlightenment breaks through every system To realize, everything I wanted, I will never have, Yet I’m glad to view the blue sky, Listen to melodies from ancient forest, While experiencing the joy of silvery mist, As I explore the world through enchanting dreams Stuffing my heart with wonders, to realize… May be whatever I deserve, I have, May be someone knows why?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
