Desperation Is His Last Breath

Inspiration is the twinkle which lives and grows in a young man’s eyes.

Desperation is his last breath lain upon forgotten dreams so soon to die.

Love is new; life yet to be lived climbs upon the mountains of tomorrow.

Youth is fresh; new and alive…virgin in its eclipse to the coming world of sorrow.

Responsibility is an acumen that lends itself to another day on a whispering smile.

An insight unto the golden tomorrow; forgotten forever in the lapse of a short while.

Though youth may hold its beauty, wisdom unless sought is not seen.

Now decade’s later desperation is his last breath and visions of youth’s folly lives in his dreams.
