Insatiable Desire Poem by Andrew Stergiou

Insatiable Desire



you have been given everything, ‎
the tea cups have been filled, ‎
drained and emptied, ‎
a thousand times, filled again, ‎
in many life times wasted, ‎
the world is a grave yard, ‎
in unmarked graves of millions, ‎
in a thousand years, ‎
of a thousand millennium, ‎
in billions drifting in a nebulae of stars, ‎

you have given life, born in dreams, ‎
providing death is not your affair, ‎
for you are life itself, ‎
you are the longing unsatisfied, ‎
in fires eternally unquenched, ‎
in the darkness, fire is unseen, ‎
as in the light, blinded, ‎
lost in a rambling of stars, ‎
unseen, unheard, unknown, ‎
without questions and answers, ‎
of tired conversations which lapse, ‎
forgotten, forgiven, in folly, ‎
of unseen laughter, ‎
of cats crying heartbroken, ‎
in a wilderness of naked poses, ‎
of imperfections and blemishes, ‎
given clothes and wholesome meals, ‎
still naked and hunger, ‎
for unborn and dying, ‎
there seems no hope, ‎
in the tricks of the minds, ‎
conceiving what does not exist, ‎
in touches and embraces, ‎
of emotional connections, ‎

in what appears as selfishness, ‎
in red ochre, and crimson, ‎
there is only time to die, ‎
there is no time to live or cry, ‎
there are no explanations, ‎
of storms and gentle breezes, ‎
the rage ranting, the quiet whisper, ‎
the empty heart, ‎
overwhelmed in lacking, ‎
what is seen and unknown, ‎
as empty, full yet unfilled, ‎
forgiveness in living, ‎
that we die, as immortals, ‎
for truth can not be, ‎
commercialized, marketed, spoken and sold, ‎
as all we see are lies, ‎
those lies die with us, ‎
those words rest in graves, and hunger, ‎
for debts to be paid, ‎
in lives to forfeit, ‎
by hearts to be won, ‎
never lost, nor found, but gained.‎
