Worth in the Wrong Places (Poem)

Some search their lifetime,

For wealth, riches  

And fame.

The exhilaration 

Of riches, fame, 

Compliments 

And flatters, 

All for possessions and a pay check.

They live their lives, 

Trying to gain worth, 

Through their name 

And pocket-book, 

And status. 

Then when finally, their dream is fulfilled,

They have all the money they wished, 

And compliments and flatters 

Behind a hidden mask.

One day, 

When the riches and fame

Evade them,

They lose themselves, in the process.

Love and Lust (Poem)

One man had it all,

A wife to die for,

All the money a man could ask for.

Love irreplaceable,

That any man would ask for.

It felt stale,

As if it wasn’t enough,

Always looking for excitement and fun.

Temptation and lust kept on creeping his way.

As he was confused 

Which path to take.

After thinking long and hard

Before taking the leap,

On a dead-end trail.

He couldn’t withstand 

What was a stake, 

For a one night stand,

And a true love break.
