The Oracle by Eduardo Mueses
My heart has quieted
I still search
For love unrequi-t-ed
I hunger for verse
Frail and diet-ed
Come to save the cursed?
My heart is deligh-et-ed.
Although, some of us may be meant to wander aimlessly in a dream forever?
The earth has responded…
some of us
hunger for verse
The earth responded… Come
my heart may be meant to wander aimlessly
frail and cursed?
I save the forever dream
although I still search
is my heart for love?
has quieted
in a deligh-et-ed
to diet-ed
has unrequi-t-ed
It’s funny. I don’t like the ending in either version.
I’ve known times in my life when my heart has both quieted, or my interest being unrequited, and finding words like say Neruda’s have served as balm.
And simply hungering for verse. I’ve known that, too.
