The Desire

There are those time the urge is too much
It beats incessantly in my heart yearning
Seeking to be set free to fly free like a bird
Yearning to soar on wings like an eagle
That part of me which is a versatile artist

The throb of and beat is my artistic heart
Warming up to new possibilities that exist
Outside the confines of conformity
Outside the confines of rigid structures
Out of the narrow view of specified form

Seeking to be free from the bondage
Which are restriction in form and nature
That part of my soul seeking to rebel 
Break loose from the established mould
Is only tapered by reason and consequence
