The World, First

What do I want?

How can I achieve

What I want?

How can I possibly

Be asked

To choose?

 

Some days I think I want

You

Some days I think “us”

Could be enough

 

Sometimes the thought of

Walls

And a roof

And a kitchen

And a ring

Seems like a viable

Option

 

And other days

 

Not so much…

 

I want the sea.

 

I want to hold it in

The palm of

My hand

 

I want to adopt

All of its

Creatures

And verbalize for them

What they can’t.

 

I want to see

The green

 

I want to be able to

Identify

Each and every

Vein on

Each and every

Leaf on

Each and every

Branch

Of the forests trees

 

I want

To make

A difference

 

I want to wiggle my

Toes

In every inch of

Soil

On this earth

 

I want to see my breath before me

As the whales migrate

In the bitter cold

Of Alaska.

 

I want to sleep

On the hard ground of a

Hut

Somewhere in India

And I want to

Pray to the lord

Krishna and I want to seek

Nirvana with the

Buddhist men

Who have found

Peace within.

 

I want to explore

Every corner and I want

To read the secrets

Of the

Stars and

I want to

Bathe in the light of

Our mother nature

 

I want

To make her proud.

 

And after I have walked across

The world I want

To have someone to

Share it with.

I want

You

To delight in my

Ecstasy

 

And then

I will be ready for

Bedtime stories and

Dinners burnt or delicious

Depending on the Recipe

 

For lustful nights filled

With the creek of our

Mattress and the crickets

Outside of our

Window

 

I want you

I want “us”

But I don’t think

It will be enough…

If I can’t have

The world

First.

Wow this is deep. It shows how you want to experience life to the fullest and aren't satisfied with the idea of being tied down with one person living a mundane life as of yet. You want to explore and experience
