The Untamable Spirit

The untamable spirit, so strong and unfaltering
Is always the hardest to keep.
Its unwavering desires span far and wide,
Its love for adventure deep.

It travels to places of wandering mystery and
Leaves behind its weeping despair.
The richness of its secret is behind this curse
That taunts and traps you into its lair.

The untamable spirit leaves your heart
Almost full and then the ghost of it is gone.
With a flick of an eye, a memory of linen
And a dutiful love struck song.

It beckons, calls and haunts you in
Every thick and pounding thought
And bewitches you with its silvery net,
Dumbfounding you until you are caught

It lives under your skin and in your eyes
Always with a tear of anticipation.
Its perplexity arises when next you submit
To its bondage and infatuation.

Every thump in your heart screams for its return
No matter how greatly your chambers may bleed
For the untamable spirit while breaking your soul,
In time, will grant you your every need.
