Roger Roger Poet Rhyme

Road To Serenity

Bonded desire, laced in lark,
like a glow of moonlight spark 
that creeps softly in the dark 
and pummels to make its mark. 

It is for affection 
that it tickles in motion 
like a heart drowsed in potion, 
drowned in sea of tame emotion. 

It is wrapped in ecstasy 
that is thicker than the sea
for the longing soul to see
that it’s not mere fantasy. 

But too much desire is dangerous, 
it is wild and perilous, 
it can drown the heart of Venus, 
for its soul is weak and tenuous. 

For lawless desire is wrong 
like a tune from a forbidden gong 
that echoes like an odd song
to where it does not belong. 

It’s like the fangs of aversion 
that are noxious like a poison 
for they’re polished in illusion 
of distaste through bigot reason. 

For hate itself, for whatever motive,  
can make our souls a captive  
of the filthy hands of violence 
laced in shadows of prejudice. 

So in everything we do 
we must be sure we think it through; 
let the flames of hate subside 
before we make our moves aside. 

For regrets won’t heal a scar 
more so if it is latent,
it’s like a deep wound from a war, 
for in the mind, it is patent.
