Analysis of MY DESIRE
mad hippie poet 1974 (new jersey)
Looking and searching for that one damn thing that sets my soul on fire and feeds both my stomach and my mouth, I have been a thief and liar, never knowing life, only the desire, and that had me hungry wanting more of what they said I should be afraid to ask for
I keep opening and closing my eyes, finding myself somewhere and everywhere that I belong; sometimes my stays are short, sometimes they are long, sometimes the bar maidens sing me a song with hidden answers, but they ain't no dancers.
With every breath, I take another move, searching for the riches and gold of my story unfolding, waiting to be told, not unknowingly knowing where I must take my first and last step. It will be a long winter walking in these cement shoes that hold my clues.
Looking and searching for the man I am supposed to be every day is getting better with another version of me, and these are those exact visions that feed my desire for this life of mine that I am finding out.
