Unsatisfied sighs
Puff the heart of avarice
-It’s illusive mist
Restlessness pursues
The golden deer- happiness,
But greed is mirage
The unappeased minds
Hug the wicked schemes always
-Blissful life on thorn
The thorny cinders
Though lit up the sinners' life
-Brightness is stopgap
The voracious fire
Waiting for the sinner's soul
Though earth is good nurse
The inferno realm
Reigns immoral everywhere
As hell or mind strife

Who doesn't want to be happier?
View delight avert barrier.
Try to acquire more worldly things
Shy not with unco ways for wins.
Intention is to gain pleasure
Deception, it doesn't bring pressure.
Pleasure got from eating plenty
lesser feel of starve to many.
Satisfy thrust with some water
justify now, but lasts shorter.
All derive pleasure fulfilling
small wants, it's stopgap refilling.
Rejoice from instant need fulfil
Destroy happiness, but brings thrill!

My Mind,
A Time Capsule
Written: by Tom Wright

With the clock un-laboriously doing its thing,
I start today with blank canvas.
No chambered thoughts, tarrying from the dark side.
My mind functions as a stopgap time capsule,
Where is interred each thought,
Concisely framed, that my existence lay’s in.
Occasionally I excavate thoughts
Meant only for myself, while questioning,
At what depth into my seclusion
Will I permit my pen to reach?
The farther my steps Journey,
The more these thoughts become frozen
On things Eternal;
