Quest! Poem by Umasree Raghunath

When my mind wants something
I crave for it beyond any limits
When I desperately need that thing
I go head over heels to achieve it
When my heart aches for someone
I go beyond my thoughts to be there
When my love needs a break
I do not know to unwind a creak
That's hidden in me for my fantasy
That alone gives me my ecstasy
For something that my heart needs
My brain works hard to find ways
To bring in the required peace
For it means my death or my life
Many a time, I don't get what I want
Yet, I try to go hard and beyond
For at least the happiness of trying it
Makes it worth than having it right
Thousand times, my heart wants
What I am sure, will not be got
But every time, I desire to do that
My heart takes over my thought
For what my heart wants in silence
Is something that gives sublime sense
Anything beyond or less will not suffice
Other than my endless quest till my demise
