Sonnet for July - 'Personally Seeking'

'Personally Seeking'

I dream of foreign beds, of other lives
that I could live -- to be another man
who took a diff'rent path, with other wives
(or one at least) and other loves, a plan
that was not what has now indeed transpired!
There is no freedom here -- for I am bound
to what I thought was right to have desired
but now unfortunately I have found
 
I'm trapped by my mundane accomplishments.
 
So when I seek and see and read and know
of how they live, without the detriments
that hold me back, I wish that I could throw
my caution and my wisdom in the air
and live a life without a second's care.
