Confused by Desire
~~~

Infused  with  desire
A  wish
rises  up
through  the  scars
to  conspire
No  end  to  the  whimper
no  end  to  the  fire
To  always
feel  stuck
so  confused
by  desire
~
A  yearning
for  something
Mere  change
would  be  blest
A  whispered  intention
won't  rise
to  the  test
A  lame  intervention
misused
will  expire
I'm  glued
to  my  track
still  infused
with  desire
~
Diffused  by  desire
My  wish
rises  up
through  the  bars
to  expire
An  end  to  my  whimper
an  end  to  my  fire
I'll  always
feel  stuck
and  refused  my  desire
~
Diffused
at  the  bottom
Constrained
in  the  mire
I'll  always  be  stuck
I  misuse
my  desire
~~~

May I offer an argument, and tell you, please, Sir, that you permit your desire to light many fires....of inspiration...

welcome home Rex! It's been awhile!

So nice to see you again, Rex. Great writing. You've inspired me as well with your wonderful poetry.

Rex, this is quite well written, clever. Your natural rhythm brings the reader along this jaunty composition and nudges one to think a bit, reflect. Very nicely done.

Thanks Denise ... you're a sweatheart

Claire ... what a surprise ... thankyou for the kindness ... I did try to write with an overtone of confusion ( perhaps that comes natural )
