Eternal Hunger
An eternal hunger dwells inside these walls of me
It lives and yearns down deep in my soul
Craving satisfaction never completely fulfilled
A lingering hungry ache, an ever-reaching goal.
Food nor fare will fill this ravenousness appetite
Nor will the pleasure of wonderful friends I know
Because my life is bound by the need to write
Nourished by creativity that out of my pen will flow.
Sweet aspiration boils from the core of me
Visions of life materializing from a bottomless well;
Characters materializing in the emptiness of space
Stories with heart, feeling, and pleasures I have to tell.
My strange demons are benign but complicated lads
Created listlessly in a busy mind deep in-depth
Prompting me with whimsical wiles and cunning
Needing, seeking, impassioned emotional wealth.
My demons probe, prompt and disturb my sleep
Nudging me intrusively from my comfortable bed
Causing a search of my churning thoughts
A craving for nourishment to keep the hunger fed.
In reply, my helpful Muse seizes the mania of my need
Mental telepathy generated through my pen to write
Creating magic of glorious images in simple words
Beauty through visions of a scribe’s perceptive light.
