...Even though it won't change a thing.

Here's an older one:


Longing

Inside, a conscious spirit flees from the flesh that binds it to a rage
Past lives attract it like a moth to a baneful flame
With hopes to stay while midnight walks the boulevard

Waking pains the fragile mind that longs innocence
Summoning the escaping specter back to the cage of
A discontent and dissonant cry of a child

We�re hoping for a shift of change.
A reset of what already came.
It�s possible, but someone�s stalling with their omnipotent words.
So paradise is still-framed through the window to the park
Where we�d play with the charms of conquering our no fears.

Images of mischief and the psychotic sounds of a human mind make them all reminisce
While colors you�ve never seen before and textures that shouldn�t exist, play over your hands.
And the answers to the impossible questions are as simple as the reflection in a pond.

So why fly up when you can descend?
Sensations of the first afflictions will never be beaten or conquered.
Just a longing to grasp what�s already there in hopes that it�s shell will shed on to you.
The dreaming will be over and a spirit will coexist at home.

I don't think there's anything bad about it. I don't write poetry at all, only for school assignments but never in my own time. So, to me, there's nothing looking wrong in this poem. It seems nice and deep.
