Craving more than what we've got
A desire burns and it burns a lot

I'm not speaking monetary
I know the answer is in me
How can I affect humanity

Save the children from the horror of war
Stop the bullets that take animals to the floor
Feed the homeless and the poor
End our planets suffering core

I'm a dreamer,
But they are dreams of love
If only peace would fly
Like the dove
If only our priority was kindness
And life was priceless

If only we took what we need
Instead of being governed by greed
Take, take, take, and when it comes to giving back
Generosity seriously lacks

It's not my problem
We have nothing in common
It doesn't affect me
So just let it be

It's not my family,
Nor my community
It's not my country,
it doesn't bother me
It's not my ocean
So continue to fill it full of poisonous potion

They're not my animals,
Who cares if they go extinct
I'll breath in toxic air
So long as it doesn't stink

Be complacent
And you're complicit to all these things
Take responsibility
For the outcome that it WILL bring

You must understand
I'm feeling this way
And struggling to translate
Through my head, and on paper

My body is more alive than it's ever known
Or being slowly tortured
I don't know

I burn from the inside out
Like a raging forest fire
I will burn until I destroy myself

When I close my eyes
and think of you
I think of your lips

Thoughts of your lips
between my lips

A feeling I can compare
only to silk
stroking my naked body

Delicately
I bite mine
at the thought of touching yours

The wind whirled as the sun broke the clouds,
Butterflies rise as gentle petals sigh,
As life and colour and freedom found movement in unison,
The hum of the bee around the orchid tree,
Sweet pink notes released as flowers accept their destiny

She sins in secret

She kept him on the side, for late night texts and *******

She kept the other in her bed, a security blanket where others would never make it

But you, she kept in her mind, got butterflies whenever you replied
She takes herself to bed, letting lust consume her head

She sins in secret
