Chasing Dreams
#WritcoPoemPrompt118
Endless highways of misdirected means,
To walk along the lonely street of dreams,
To live in a world where nothing is as it seems,
And take pursuit of pleasure to extremes...

Guided by desires, we wander astray,
Chasing illusions that quickly decay,
In a realm where truth often fades away,
Leaving us lost, yearning for a brighter ray.

The road stretches on, a winding path untold,
Through valleys of longing, where hearts unfold,
With every step, the hunger takes its hold,
Leaving us craving more, forever bold.

But the pleasure we seek, elusive and sly,
Leads us astray, whispering a deceitful lullaby,
In this maze of desires, we can't deny,
That the destination, forever denied.

Oh, the endless highways that taunt and deceive,
Where the heart and mind strive to believe,
In dreams that shimmer but never achieve,
Leaving us yearning, forever naive.

So let us tread carefully, with open eyes,
Seeking truth amidst the tempting lies,
For in the pursuit of pleasure, we may rise,
Finding comfort in the beauty that never dies.

Endless highways, we'll navigate with care,
And though the street of dreams may seem unfair,
We'll discover the essence that's hidden there,
And find our own meaning, beyond compare.
