alone

Do I want to walk alone Or is it just another facade Of my subconscious mind Like the sobs l hear While l refuse to bow down The smiles smeared with wit While I stay hungry for the word Can l call you out any time Being aware of my indulgence That the road is not that...

am I a river

am I a river? I ask thee and the roaring intertwines with the words of wisdom glances filled with longing   I cover myself from head to toe with my shroud and your fragrance fills me from top to bottom   I revolt against my desires to find peace in mundane...
