Poem: Drunk On Love And Longing.

Dear reader,

Thank you for tuning into today’s publication. A special shout-out to everyone with us since last month; we hope you’ve been enjoying it. Next week is coming differently as we invite guest poets to showcase their work. Thank you again as we build a state-of-the-art place for artist and tech collaborations, and we look forward to your comments.

Starting…

This work of art is a poem; dressed up with words, a song that the voice has not yet sung. This poem is a communication of several days, trying to understand why there is such a solid human longing. Can we ever be satisfied, and what are the consequences?

But first, let’s start with a brief and lighter theme: Drunk on Love.

Poem 1/2: Drunk On Love

Poem 2/2: Longing

Ahh!!!!!

This one really knocks me out I must say. I won't lie when I first saw this, I did not understand any of it. I had to read over and over again to finally grasp what the poem is all about. In fact took me some days

To my best understanding and also from the title LONGING, the poem is all about the idea of human want is unlimited more like human satisfaction. Each time humans achieve a certain level of satisfaction, they are still left wanting more.
