[instructions for reading, do not pause in the verses, but do not rush, emphasize the stress; on the refrain, do not pause at all, speak quickly, and emphasize only the last word of each line]
And affection will not satisfy
The aching in my soul
A dearth of love is not the cause
But still it takes a toll
And though I dream of endless things
Men that do not die
Rowing bowls and a stone that sings
Gemstones without flaws
All my running
Brought me nothing
I keep wanting
Can’t stop dreaming
Why don’t I die?
I cannot put words in my pen
cold labyrinthine prose
the dissonance an unholy din
irony like hated foes
I spill my soul like my seed
Quiet horrid hidden sin
Lies there for any to read
Solace not found within
All my running
Brings me nothing
I keep wanting
Can’t stop dreaming
Why don’t I die?
(I am still working on this comments very appreciated)
