The heat when rises
Rises from my feet
And crawls slowly
From somewhere beneath
And tries to engulf me, elegantly
I try hard to resist
And let go
But somewhere deep within
I feed this crawler
With myself
Surrendering to this heat, fire
Fire which has always burnt things
And when in form of desire
Has burnt human beings
This fire, heat slowly increases its pace
and in no time
It reaches my brain, my face
Flooding my brain with fire
Penetrating it with desire
I start burning
But instead of running, yelling
I feed myself to this fire
The desire.
