To Possess Your Heart
Listen to poem:
Careful what you wish for
Wise advice wasted on fools.
I recognize the danger signs
Yet rush in most willingly.
If only I’d be satisfied
In this blissful state of longing.
What’s sweet far exceeds
The aftertaste of bittersweet.
So why tempt fate with games
And long to possess your heart.
It’s best not to seek fulfilment
I don’t know why, I can’t say why.
I wish I could just hover in eternity
Dangle in suspended animation.
Hovering midway between here and there
And not take for granted this state of bliss.
Be freed of longing, somehow and forever.
