My Own Words

My own words My own desire to acquire For only a quick glance My heart has seen enough to dance I seek that which the heart cannot see but feel Then again what the heart desires eyes can see I exult still to that victory already achieved I pursue to that which is not yet attained Indebted hence lacking Relentless, quietly seeking The essence of my being gazing beyond the depths of destiny A longed for desire pursued A longed for desire searched for I die to self and linger Time I seek, time lost A child's cry is hastily attended to soft sobs of an infant quieted by a warm embrace By my own words I elucidate and narrate that which lies within

Glad I stumbled onto your poem, which is rich in emotion, brought to life of what otherwise lies mundane. As a poet should!
