Different then my other poems. I just kinda let it go where it wanted. I think I like it.
Need. Want. Hope. Desire.


Desperate, Wanting
Desire building in her heart
She knows what she wants -- needs --
Just not how to get it
Need. Want. Hope. Despair.
An endless cycle circling around her head
Need. Want. Hope. Desire.
Building all the while until the intensity of life is too much
These feelings -- emotions -- commandeer her mind
This is what she gets for wanting to be alive
Need. Want. Hope. Despair.
Life in its simplest forms
Joy and Pain
Feeling -- Breathing -- these emotions
These tremors of life
These paralyzing, gut-wrenching vibrations of the soul
This Passion -- the nectar, the honey, the milk of life --
Blinding light
Both white hot anger and red hot desire --
The Good, the Bad, the Beautiful
Need. Want. Hope. Desire.
Her life, Your life, One Life -- Yours --
Your life --
Need. Want. Hope. Despair.
