Desire Unfathomable Poem by Aftab Alam

Desire unfathomable,
Man to beast, a list

Seen turning to goofy
‘I’ll be rich in jiffy’
To conquer the world
By any means
Always angry
Fury with the fist

Deeds for the earning
And tongue for burning
We all know
Tongue is surrounded by the teeth
Yet it is unharmed

In the evening
When shadow is eaten by light
World seems so bright
Lips tight
Shy sight
Palm opened
A looser in the war field
With hard work
No yield


Desire remains undesired
