what is anguish
a taste of joy
a bit too burned
for the appetite of
life
physical starvation
gradually kills the body
emotional starvation
merely bruises the soul
and makes bitter enemies
of smiles
and tears
as distanced eyes gape at the
miles and years
carried away on the backs of
terrified dreams
haunted hopes
and unharnessed fears
we all are eyes peaking through
a patch work of unique experiences....................
