Want

~~~~~………..~~~~~………..~~~~~

I do not want things I can’t grasp.

My fingers- weak- would simply break.

~~~~~………..~~~~~………..~~~~~

I will not wish for tomorrow wrapped in gold.

Wrapping- fragile- would simply turn to dust.

~~~~~………..~~~~~………..~~~~~

I wouldn’t like sun kissed heavens.

Heavenly- the sun- would simply melt my skin.

~~~~~………..~~~~~………..~~~~~

I haven’t yearned for an incalculable touch.

Calculations- hard- would simply pop my mind.

~~~~~………..~~~~~………..~~~~~

I do not crave reflections in broken glass.

A reflection- split- would simply sever my spirit.

~~~~~………..~~~~~………..~~~~~

I have no desire for costly cries.

My tears- warm- would simply melt the ice.

~~~~~………..~~~~~………..~~~~~

I shall not fancy an absent embrace.

An omission- gone- I would simply miss.

~~~~~………..~~~~~………..~~~~~

I never feel like walking with shadows.

Darkness- a void- would simply thrive on growth.

~~~~~………..~~~~~………..~~~~~

I do not want to covet the clouds.

This sky- distant- I could simply never reach.

~~~~~………..~~~~~………..~~~~~
