My eyes see many,
My desire craves a lot,
My fanctacy consumes
And absorbs many more "spam"
But I am no empire with greed
My pocket lies with limit,
My emotion relish has room for few
So I window shop for lust
I see all I desire and admire
From a distance, with sight
God gave me eyes for a reason
For not all I want and desire
Can I have, do I really want
Even when I can afford
That is what makes me
Cherish the little I have
It is that which be-gets value
For the rest, I appreciate
I have the luxury
Of window shopping
Spend just enough time
To own with my eyes
Some I will acquire
In later time to come
Some I will always
Just window shop for
With a respectful distance
But for the little I have
I value the most
My eyes and I
Will always have
Just enough time surfing
With window shopping
My resolved mind will know best
Your pocket and mine are about the same. Still, it's fun to window-shop.
ReplyDeleteFun, solid versifying.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you about window shopping. Fun to look sometimes when one has time just to see what is 'out there', but not necessary to buy! Thanks for visiting Poetry Jam!
