The Burnt Desire

The day of reckoning was the beast of it's own. It creeped up on me, the unawares, it arrived on a whim, with high heads, and burnt everything down to ashes. The complains, the remonstrance, all flowed away in the stream of love. Her name, filled the void in my heart. The madness in her name, had it's own elegance and the madness in me, brought me closer to her. I see her from a distance, the charm she still had, I walked towards her, like it was the first time I had seen her. My obsession was at your mercy and it was about to change my destiny. The desires were burning and the wishes buried in my heart were stifling as I scratched the threshold of this madness.

It hurt me and I poured it out. By writing poetry I saw, there were more than a million ways I had seen your beauty. So pure and so soulful. And now that I know where my heart belongs, I can fight the world for it. Your love itself is a reward, nobody wins, nobody loses. And now that the day is here, I can free myself from you, either by the inevitable death, or love. But you, you'll always be caged in my writings for you have fallen in love with a writer my love. So let's go back in time, to the time unknown, where we were free, before we ever stumbled upon this day. Because this is the day, an artisan bloomed into an artist. This is the day when this writer's throbbing life came to a complete stand still. So if my life is destined to ruin, I accept. If this is how it ends, I accept. If you not loving me back is a rude awakening, I accept. Because my love, is a strange beast. Whip it, starve it, push it deep down in my insides, but you can't pull it out of me.
