Letter Home...
My mind is on fire,
Eager to learn.
Yet the fire of desire,
Does also burn,
Burn from the fuel,
Of passion relived,
And loneliness' tool,
That makes one forgive,
Forgive of the. pain,
I alone inflict,
When value doth wane,
Of a vanity pricked,
Pricked ego-loon,
Hot air a-spewing,
And deflated too soon,
Leaves empty ensuing,
Ensuing yet again,
A love of the better,
Of which you11 read when,
You get my next letter
