No Darkness Can Satisfy This Need Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I'm looking at the bright side.
I need to taste fresh flavors wasting.
Nobody can really do the blues like I do.

I want to dance to rhythms waiting.
Ones I chose to leave.
That sun is shining and smiling on me!
Today.

I'm depleted of defeat I greeted.
Had to sit and let it ride my back!
There is nothing about a sorrow sweeted...
With attacks I welcome to meet!
To keep and feed.

I'm looking at the bright side
I need to taste fresh flavors wasting.
Nobody can really do the blues like I do.

I'm pleased to free from shadows.
Shared by comfort givers.
Not one of them offering good chemistry!
Felt deep to pleasure.
With a measuring desire...
To apply to my eyes that grieved.

There is a fire burning in me...
Darkness can't satisfy.
I'm tired of skipping over my needs!

I'm looking at the bright side
I need to taste fresh flavors wasting.
Nobody can really do the blues like I do.

I want to dance to rhythms waiting.
Ones I chose to leave.
That sun is shining and smiling on me!
Today...
My dues are all paid!

I'm depleted of defeat I greeted.
Had to sit and let it ride my back!
There is nothing about a sorrow that's sweeted...
With attacks I welcome to meet!
To keep and feed.
Today I see me!
The me I'm free to be!
And no darkness can satisfy this need,
Since my grieving eyes have been released.
