Darkest desire

This poem was written by me and my friend, Aparna on 25th March,2010

A Desire of the heart
As dark as the
darkest woods
Born in the confines
of the mind,
Pulsing through the veins.

It's unique;
No one can understand it
'coz it's yours & yours alone.
An essence of the soul,
hidden from every eye.
It washes through our being
and gives meaning
to life - albeit darkest.

The most innate, we can't help
but succumb to its lure
So why throttle?
Let it flow, the gushing
river of desire
Like hot magma,
scalding all obstacles
to dust.

Hungry rat's eyes
eying to achieve
the unachievable.
And raring to explore
the unexplored.
Infusing passion and ambition
in our languid spirits.
Compelling us
to follow the heart
and win the world.

The deepest secret,
the darkest desire.
