a dream

i wish i could write so that the words flow like water gushing from a mountain in an untouched part of mother earth. i wish i could write the words to describe the beauty of a field of bright colourful flowers that reflects a glow that transforms a landscape in to a kaleidoscope of natures beauty. i wish i could write the feelings of the first kiss you have that you feel deep deep down to the very core of your soul. i wish i could write words that impact your conscious mind like the moment you realize all men will never be considered equal ever. i wish i could write words that will explain a smile that lives in your heart forever between you and reason you smiling. i wish i could write words that hit the spot like ice cold water on an absolutely blistering day. i wish i could write words that could just touch your life in one moment that would have an everlasting effect on the ones you hold most dear to you. i wish i could write words that inspire a human to achieve the commitments they have with destiny. i wish i could write words that will live not for an age but for all time. i wish i could write my own words that nobody before me has said any better. i wish i could write.

   I love your poem! The truth in the Line ‘man will never be equal. ever’ gave me a chill down my spin.
