Desire Poem by RAJ VIKRAM

Dealt with desires
that poured in torrents
upon me day in and out,
once and for all, so I felt.

Trumpeted about my
rooting out the obstacle
to the desire less state that,
I naively felt was mine.

Mind weaved visions myriad
of fruits of tranquility that
enlightened state ensured,
And became levitated with rapture.

Desire took root about
the yearning for tranquility.
Awash I became with
the urge for immortality.

By and by derision
decimated the insubstantial
elements of tranquility
that appeared in the horizon.

Desire for a desire less state
overwhelmed the being.
And now I desire just for
the original state, and some peace.
