    often and then
    our greedy hands fall short
    of perfect pleasures
    and we reap easy days
    days of bliss
    black streaks and lazy hearts
    we ease open to
    delicate areas
    spots of inked excuses
    aimed at purpose

    he called it love
    he called it mine
    yet somehow
    we are restless
    something we seemed to be
    during grey skies
    when it would rain

    though seemingly calm
    our eyes screamed glory
    and we knew no shame

    And you wanted more? Never kill the idealist within. She is your life, your very life. I really like this, if only to meet another dissatisfied mind - lol.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
