This desire

Pulsating and savage

Makes me want to cut all ties

And head deep into the wild.

The mountains,

Calling and beckoning,

Urge me to come touch the clouds

In a world outside of sound.

My heart,

Broken and bruised,

Longs for a new beginning, a fresh start

To heal what was torn apart.

The mustangs,

Free and inquisitive,

Thunder a beat that calls my name

And asks me to also be untamed.

A howl,

Loud and mournful,

Issues from a lone wolf on the prowl

Somewhere in the forest’s bowels.

I cannot resist…

My soul,

Bound and fettered,

Has, within this young body, grown old

And made me callous and cold.

My identity,

Divided and torn,

Cannot continue to, this existence, abide

And keep one half, the other hide.

That desire,

Pulsating and savage,

Made me sever every human tie

And head, forevermore, into the wild.
