The Universe Within : Adult Poetry

written by Poet : EC


When newborn I didn't claim room
no, neither for me nor my soul
not even for ages and ages
The room revealed itself to me
claiming my responsibility as owner

So this is mine I thought, mine to keep
then I clutched my heart and yelled:
"Oh God, it's a Universe!"
I glanced once again and yelled:
"Stop! I don't want you, I'm yours!"

Chaos erupted, overflowing everything
I sighed and cried, but to no avail
dismayed at this for and against
forward and backward
I forced back my dissatisfaction
suddenly possessed by
what I possess - a universe
