The most hated feelings.

anticipation, a hated word,
makes you go around the world,

the wait for the dark clouds,
for the moments when you can say it aloud,
for the pleasure of a raindrop on a scorched face
the satisfaction of cool drops down a parched throat

the water, the cloud, the shade, or the beautiful glade
meaningless without the longing,
without the anticipation, all the pleasures fade.


the happiness from anything, from the heartburning desire arises.
the driver of destiny, the motive force behind man
the  most hated of feelings,
desire, anticipation, and longing.

the dreams that keep you awake,
the dreams that disturb you as you wake
the purpose in life,
the thirst that warrants the strife;
difficult decisions, battles between desires
the source of pride for a well lived life,
the fountain of joy for any quest won,
hated while they're there, prized when they're won.

desires and decisions, fuelling life,
three cheers to them for bleeding you as knives.
