More . . . of what?

Poetry, Sep '13
By owais

More power.

More fame.

More money.

Yes,

I want more of these.

And more.

Why do I want

more and more

of more and more?

Is not

this hole in my soul

unfillable?

Is not,

‘more’

a desire to arrive

at the most?

And, is not the most

Unachievable

by a mere human?

Where is

my perspective?

Why don’t I want

the one thing

which I must want more of

if I want to arrive

at my destination

as opposed

to a way-station?

Perspective.

owais calls himself the ‘sucker for love’ – for knowingly, he not only trusts, but lives on that rainbow which does not actually exist.
