Click hereNo one knows the mantis that prays in me.
No one knows my heart is an unquenchable fire
I carry through the day toward the night.
No one knows the desires I crave.
But I do. I do.
I will wake today and find my prey.
I will walk today and curb the ache.
I will cum until I satiate the hunger.
Mantis, pray pray pray.
A poem prompt by Joseph Fasano
Many of us know the ache and the hunger.
Indeed, at its worst, it is an irrational compulsion.
Your poetry captures the powerful depth of this primal drive.
