As I Want Poem by Doris Cornago

As I Want

Rating: 5.0


Nature's child unbridled, creatively gifted
Running wild, sowing seeds by hands
Fertilizing the fallow land with dung
Responsible to no one in my farm
Growing my own trees, pruning
As I want, molding thoughts
Into fanciful bitter gourds
Words flourish, wishes
Demolish, poisons
Dishes, fruits of
Dark desires
Designed
Spiced
Fermented
Freely availed
Callow containers
Dreams drug, drag us
Into a hole, no one sees
Gaps gallop like bats blinded
Winging our way by echoing echo
In caves of nonexistence, resistance
Strewn about as traps like yawning yew
Minds strapped like a polygamist alchemist
Until love led me to the brew of irresistible you

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Dark thoughts hound us and we express them as we want not minding how we infect people with our expressions of them. You'll see it everywhere, what passes off as entertainment, in songs, movies, plays, the macabre side of human character. Experts refer to this tendency to be destructive as the duality of our nature, a lame of excuse for lack of care. Take heed of what you create as you are responsible. My redemption came in the form of a mirror, a man who made me see as I am.
