Desert for Roses : Life

written by Poet : EC


I want this world to hold me tight
to let me suck it like a baby sucks milk
never a moment of want and despair
that's what I want
maybe I didn't make it clear enough
perhaps I was too polite
asking instead of demanding
maybe my stentorian voice
the one I use for a key
maybe it didn't lift
it may have dragged along the ground

Then let me repeat: I want it all, I want it now
no more waiting, no more doubts
basking in the world of gifts I shall laugh
yes, maybe even sing or dance a rig
don't wean me of the world
don't dry up my dreams and wishes
a desert is not a place to grow roses
