~Desire for Light ~
I want to write a poem about you
That you keep chaining me
With your thinking
I long for sunlight
You are afraid to get sunburned
So I keep me in the dark
But I cannot match you
Yes I sneak to get glimpses of light
Is this a sign of oppression?
A heart that longs for daylight
The longing increases in desire
Desires are incontrollable
It needs to be fulfilled

When a heart longs, there is not stop to this heart to reach its desire...
That you keep chaining me
With your thinking
I long for sunlight
You are afraid to get sunburned
So I keep me in the dark
But I cannot match you
Yes I sneak to get glimpses of light
Is this a sign of oppression?
A heart that longs for daylight
The longing increases in desire
Desires are incontrollable
It needs to be fulfilled

Cool blog, I like the colors!
So sad, it seems. But light is always there to try for.
What is the little ones name?
(I am sorry for not asking sooner, but now I wonder)
This was very hard to read, the print is too close and curvy. Hope you have a happy new year!
I think this is rather sad, rather melancholic but still very beautiful in a woebegone way.
Have a great yuletide. I guess you don't celebrate the Christian festival and neither do I but love and peace to you anyway.

Such beautiful and lovely writing.
"Desires are incontrollable"
No, they are controllable, and therein lies all the sadness of your poem.
May love and truth guide your actions always.
