Unfulfilled Fantasies

Hey guys, have you ever wondered why you wrote that fantasy? Have you ever stopped to think that you created even the villain as well as the hero? I have and it makes me want to search with myself for more reasons. If I am going to write a novel it must have a plot. There needs to be a good guy as well as an adversary. Both of them came from me, the creator. Can you imagine how God feels when he looks at what he has created?


Poem Artwork

I wrote a story about a man who stole and robbed banks in the west.
The story told of how he found himself in the afterlife where there was no rest.

I wrote a story about a woman who loved a man to much and compromised her ethics.
One would say her love for him was such that his words to her were edicts.

I wrote a story about people who lived life on the fly.
Now as I look at what I wrote I suddenly wonder why.

Why did I write about a robber and a thief or a woman who loved too much?
Where did these ideas come from and why did I write it as such?

My answer is that within us all there is a rebellious side.
No matter how we try to pretend from this we cannot hide.

So my writing made me dig deep within and scrutinize my heart.
There within my heart and soul is a wilderness from which I cannot depart.

So I write about these things and rightfully I do so.
For each of us knows that temptation follows where ever we may go.

Now I look at my creation and I suddenly realize that I have recreated me.
For it a part of me that they were and are and eventually will be.

Clever wisdom & rhymn; Temptation does follow whereever we go; but we have a choice to choose; thank God that is...
