Unfulfilled
What you give are infinite amounts of black and white
but I need blinding yellows, blazing reds or even bottomless blues
With you I parade around only in this flat courtyard
but I want to jump into canyons and swim across the sea
My senses stay tame beside you
I survive eating the straw you provide
but I do not consume nutrients
The feel of you is that familiar lukewarm
But I want to feel an Arctic chill or volcanic heat
Your smell is that of water
but I long for the scent I can't refuse
Your repetitive words are evening traffic
but I want to hear breaking news
With you my reflection is that inching caterpillar
but I yearn for it to be a butterfly, free.
