Desire

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.
