Mirror man

 

I wish you a stretch limousine

I wish you a beauty queen 

I wish you a penthouse flat

I wish you all I never had

But most of all, I wish you love,

Yah, I wish you love,

 

I wish your numbers would come up

I wish your life is long,

I wish I believed in something,

So I could pray to someone,

But most of all, I wish you love,

Yah, I wish you love,

 

I wish you were ambitious,

Thought I wish you could be content

I wish you had everything

With your heels firm in the dirt

But most of all, I wish you love,

Yah, I wish you love,

 

I wish your scars would heal

I wish your heart a thrill

I wish your pain to die

I wish she never said goodbye,

But most of all, I wish you love,

Yah, I wish you love,

Or death.

as i read this it made me wonder what sort of music you heard as you wrote it.. for me, the first time i read it, i heard a sort of plaintive sweet acoustic strings rendering.. the second time it was more upbeat

I wish you were ambitious,
Thought I wish you could be content
I wish you had everything
With your heels firm in the dirt
But most of all, I wish you love,
Yah, I wish you love

i love that stanza.. it reads as some wise advice

"I wish your scars would heal
I wish your heart a thrill
I wish your pain to die
I wish she never said goodbye,
But most of all, I wish you love,
Yah, I wish you love,
Or death."

This was absolutely flawless! Even though when I finished reading the poem, its impact remained in my mind and my soul for a very long time. The ending is really amazing and had a lot of impact on me
Great work!

i wanna look in a mirror and say "i wish you love" too...
i liked the repitition, i liked the depth, the simplicity and all the power and stories that came rushing to me as i read it.
i needed to read this, in my weird current state of mind, so thanks for sharing. and please, keep on sharing with me, i love and admire your work.

"I wish you love' is one of those old standards, I kept hearing it in the honeyed tones of whatever 1950s diva that sang it as I read your piece. . .

you hit hard with these words.

"I wish you love or death" the last words in this piece really peaked my interest.Its almost as though your speaking to someone who has given up hope and you are trying one last time to boost them up.In the end I think death may have been a better option to there hopeless life.This piece intrigued me , well done.
