PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I think that I want something else

Certainly not the darkness
That I have had
In my mind
In my heart
In my very being
Radiating from my soul outward

I need something else

Perhaps a rainy day dawn
A diminished sunrise
That will not assault me with a brightness
I would probably be able to face

I look for something else

Through eyes slitted against the false shininess
With which the world blinds its masses
Into an unseeing unknowing and uncaring civilization

Let me find something else

That will emit just enough of a glow
To allow my reaching out for its glory
Whether return with or without it

Un-singed

For once.
