Hunger

A hunger like fire burns from inside
While in my veins, my blood is ice
I fear that this beast will not be denied

Vermillion waves come in like a tide
Drowning me in inhuman vice
A hunger like fire burns from inside

With deep sullen growl, glowing, red-eyed
This hunger felt lets known it's price
I fear that this beast will not be denied

Enslaved to this passion, fuel I provide
Gainst wish to be controlled, precise
A hunger like fire burns from inside

Vainly labored, and helplessly vied
Strive to follow elder's advice
I fear that this beast will not be denied

All fast fleeting, reason subsides
The Man is gone, lost in a trice
A hunger like fire burns from inside
I fear that this beast will not be denied

-Carnival
-I sit astride electric steed,
-Lost in carousel whirling.
-Rides and dust, playing, frenzied
-The sun so bright and blinding.
-Now I walk these well worn lanes
-Where once I ran in younger days
-Of joyous song, nothing remains,
-Desp’rate carnies and rides decayed.
-But comes a child, face full and bright
-Laughter riding with them
-Smiling, I turn back to my night
-Unwilling to my past condemn.
-In nights of trouble, strife and grief
-Savor joy, like youth, too brief.
