Content


I would live on a desert island

alone with my thoughts,

a book of poems-

a pen that runs not out,

and paper to write;


I would live like a king

alone in the majesty of words

and not a drop of water

or handful of food would I crave;

though my body pines away

to the dusts of the air


I would live, content.

Thanks Mark.

I like your blog too. And especially the poem 'mute'.

Chose it at random. Really liked it.

Do you think life would be that content? Ah, poetic pipe-dreams...

Poor esheneutics,

seems dreams do irk you?

I dream. A lot. Makes this world bearable.
I live in a world of dreams which is as real as I can make it. Course there is that tiny problem of knowing the difference reality and the dream. Sometimes have to rely on my lover for a reality check!

Nevertheless, I will still dream of my desert island heaven...
