Desire Poem by asma bahrainwala

Desire

Rating: 4.9


I am a well.
Confined by a wall;
Restricted by a boundary;
Stagnated by it all.

I desire to be a river;
I desire to flow;
I desire to merge
With waters diverse.

My wall is a block.
A societal construct;
A self-imposed isolation;
A resultant stagnation.

I desire to break this wall
Brick….by…Brick;
I desire to flow
Merge…Blend…Mix.

Asma, there's nothing stagnant about your poetry... I'd say it flows quite nicely. Great write! ! Brian

I'm not sure about the title of this piece. It seems to me that confined or restricted may have been a more appropriate title for this. It really wasn't a very unique message. I don't think you can put a word like desire in a title and expect the reader to be impressed after they read such a writing as this. It was, in my view, average. GW62
