The Craven

It starts
beneath the ordinary
a tingling, an itch
a restless desire

It spreads
scratching only the surface
awakening possibilities
a delicate fire

A crave
is a relentless need
a Craven is a lost soul
a faceless liar

To some
always a burden
difficult to face
harder to admirer

A cowardly presence
never to discover
courageous dreams
which love may inspire
