You come full of grief Tired, you need relief You want to sleep forever gazing at nothingness It gives you joy Life is your toy Now listen boy we're going to teach you how to feel right I said lay me down Those cozy brown Streams of careless joy and warm ambivalence That I may drown In such a sound That does surround and wrap its loving arms around me My feet leave the ground My silver chord unwound And I fall down the sky straight to heaven No longer bound I sway and swim around velvet dreams in lap of luxury But if only you knew Our purpose is to suffer love and exist And not to bask in everlasting bliss
This is nice. Your best lines come when you don't bind yourself to the rhyme scheme. Free your verse and your mind will follow. "Our purpose is to suffer love and exist" interesting because is it suffer, love and exist as three seperate things we all do or is love what we suffer from as we exist. How powerful a comma can be in it's abscence. way to be an adverb
