Poems - Murphy's Law

Murphy's Law

by Veils_Mistress

Cool night,

Moon,

Gather my senses.

Pin my wings to the velvet sky

Beckon me out of the cacoon.

Beckon me into life.

Emotion swirls,

left verses right

Swollen against chance

What the soul wants

Or what it might.

Moved by Calculation and mechanism

Against surrender and wild abandon.

This is my holding cell

Brick by brick, accomplishments

This is my wishing well

Drop by drop, entrapments.

Fear is the King of this subconscious

Will is the framework of acquisition.

Fill it up, fill this room

Pollute me with the finer things

Give me idols of insignificance

Empty promises and blinded kings.

Gimme Gimme Gimme

I need something.

Because I cannot have the moon.

Because I cannot have the air

I cannot have the water.

I cannot have the sky

But I can have the arder.

I can have the silk and diamonds

I can have what others seek.

I can have it easily.

And if I should, should I ever

Break free.

What would be left of me?

But the moon and the sky

What I could never be...

Cool night, cool breeze

I'm pleading with you on my knees

Take me, take me, take me

Be one with me.

I'm not sure if I understand the meaning of the title in relation to the poem, but I really enjoyed the piece.
Filling life with possessions, still coming up empty...
