Desire: The Impossible

Desire: The Impossible

There is no power equal to what we want.
The excuses that come to mind, are just that.
For good or ill, we end up doing what we want.

We do what we do. How silly to think otherwise.
You have within you the potential to accomplish
the very impossible.

Whether you will or not, is desire, nothing else.
The truest thing in the Bible, is Satan's lust.
A want for something -- contrary.

Freedom -- free will -- something of a curse?
Everything done, since this inception
-- an all-too-human eventuality.

Before any lung breathed air, Something
decided that the rest of anything
should return upon desire.

Think on this, friend, for longer than a moment.

What I Am

What I Am

Passionate when meeting passion.
Fascinated with fascination.
Interested in interest.
Found when lost.

A garbled cry of a crow unsettles me
for want of translation.
Sudden alignment of cityscape
causes me to stop walking --
Pages in a beloved book, to cry.

To me, each day is an easel --
Something unfathomable is being drawn
and the scent of firewood is freedom.
Music moves me. I am unpretentious.
I mean no one any harm.

All of the above are exactly what I am.
But re-reading those stanzas, I pause.
None of it means as much as is said
without someone I love, agreeing.
