A Devious Course

By Ld Marduk

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

My mind runs a devious course,  Desirous and envious…It seeks as a last resort—To possess thee…heart and soul,Today…tomorrow…and evermore,For it burns with a hunger…an obsession,Which it believes can only be filled,By having thee…and holding thee,Yet such we know we never shall—And there in lies our greatest quandary,To be desirous and envious, Of what we know can never be,For it leaves us with a torment,To be ours…eternally.
