A Dirge To Desire Poem by LALITHA JOSEPH

A Dirge To Desire



Desire belongs to others
I borrow it often
To understand
I am in debt

Still I go after it
The things I have
Never satisfies me.
I go after borrowed things

Desire comes in dream
It stands silhouetted
in distance
I stare at it.

Undecided yet
Badly needed
I nurture it
In the corner of my heart.

Taboo thoughts
pauses questions
Mind has no taboo
in devouring the forbidden fruit
