As I’m bowed, in cares distraught
Lightness unbends, thru an arbor caught
In the rigid coils of tight binds
Gladness interlaces with vines that unwind
Netted in a shadow of grasping night
Moonlit petals glow their reflective sight
Entrenched in weight of concrete inveighs
Nectarine wings point the scented airy way…
This entry is just the beginning of sanctuary
Gardens small grow and call the wisdom of trees…
Utopian dreams realign where nature breathes
Inviting serenity in wraps of soothing wreathes
Deep as the roots and high as a sun-ride
Elevation is granted where greenery’s the guide.

The scorching sun sends its penetrative rays,
And the uninvited hunger pangs inveighs,
The belly always being ungrateful,
It forgets the previous favours when idle.
Here comes another hunger, hunger for power,
Many have fallen for its banter,
Always ending up on the wrong side of mantle,
Truncating their stories to a tattle.
There also comes a hunger for success,
It sends the body to incandesce,
Prompting every mortal frame to seek education,
Sometimes I wish you had a button.
They say “a hungry man is an angry man”,
Hunger stretches to its constituents like a clan,
And drags along with it malevolence,
No matter the form, hunger is an uninvited nuisance.
