A Child's Lust
As if a scrupulous design
In truth, arbitrarily defined
An entire sky to call my own
Euphoria in an ambulent home
Perfection in fault of an explanation
Mythicized simply for a pleasant sensation
Having it all at the tip of my fingers
In a careless trance yet still my heart lingers
For if I can never be closer still
The emptiness in my heart may never be fulfilled
The transient dreams of a boy inside
An overwhelming wish where my heart resides
An obsession so bleak that I still harness
Byt my heart will forever be cloaked in darkness
Judged for an appetite that is seldom mild
But for what is a man
without the dreams of a child?
And in the sky I witness a bastion used to cope
And in the sky a witness a beauty called hope

My ambitious dream to become an astornaut has led me to spill out in words what lingers in my heart. I share this poem with endearment and hope that some of you hold dreams as scary as mine. If you do not fear your dreams, they are not big enough.
