All you ever wanted
A world painted
with black squid ink
become a stage when life
was nothing more,
but going to school,
looking after family
and preparing meals.
You, the God of this world
watched ink words manifest
into people that walked
down cobblestone roads,
grabbing food from ongoing
street markets, while their
children play with a ball,
swimming between
people’s feet.
That was all you waned.
Watching them made
your heart thump and
brought images to mind
that there was something
more out there within the
world then the four
walls that kept you prisoner.
However, when ink puppets
show you that the world
was never perfect,
you pulled the strings hard
to keep the images of
a happy life alive.
That was all you wanted.
There was a fairy tale
that you were told as
a child, where the world
was made out of silk curtains.
Parties were held every evening
with gold plates and glasses
that were crafted to fit your hands
and your hands only.
That was all you ever wanted
