Or Trip Over Want

 "another fortnite lost in America" -Fortnite, Taylor Swift

so swiftly it becomes a burning

the pull that is yearning

a desire fiercely kindled

all logic cast down and defeated

might as well deny the moon

then say you do not swoon

or trip over want

still, our hearts are not

to the simple glorious end

that life goes on again and again

that love will always win

forever and ever amen

take some time to look around

 "You had your qualms!?!" -Patricia, Widows Bay

An Ode

through the fog they come creeping

our nightmares given hearts a'beating

to feast on our fears they come

but only a few will be undone

dont forget to grab a coffee as you go

the pace here is kind of slow

take some time to look around

dont pay any attention to that clown

this house of horrors is ours to tend

in a world where hunger ne'er ends

where our fears do survive

so that we can thrive 

of fates divine design

 "and how could anybody deny you?" -Coldplay

all roads lead to pain

there is no refrain

from the unending plight

of the dying of the light

deny it all you want

but none of us are a confidante

of fates divine design

no matter what one may opine

we try to know so much

about what little we have touched

the universe doesn't care

what plans we dare

it does play catch up

 "I dare you to do something" -Circles, Post Malone

when will you stop?

where is the top?

where is the low?

how much more slow can you go?

time doesn't ever halt

it marches on; your will or naught

it does not play catch up

no force to deter this start up

hesitate to the grave

it will not save

you from your fate

you will meet it one day

will bring new deals

 "wait; they don't love you like i love you" - Maps, Yeah Yeah Yeah

evil is winning

no end to the sinning

a darkness hangs low

brought a country to the gallow

we can only hope and pray

that every new day

will bring new deals

to those that kneels

to the king of kings

long may peace reign

we are not beyond redeeming

an end to hunger we must be scheming

joy and happiness from a soul

"You can run on for a long time / but sooner or later, gods gotta cut you down" - Johnny Cash

i have listened to you lie

i have heard you cry

still i do not doubt

that its dark in your heart

i know that you only feel

when from others you can steal

joy and happiness from a soul

drag them down into your black hole

you showed them all

i guess and how you did fall

all alone and afraid

next stop is the grave

but not so from those

 "Where the brave may live forever!"

one day the world goes grey

the desire just fades

the sunsets seem sweeter

the coffee grows richer

its seems a lonely place

on its face

but not so from those

who truly grow slow

and still we do yearn

for what we have not earned

demand worship post hence

from those in the past tense
