Burning Desire Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Feeling a burning desire deep within, wanting to quench
it, cannot be done.

Deeply running throughout, searching for an outlet,
trying to ease the pain, desire has brought about.

Heart aching, crying out for an end to what has
transpired.

Being held tightly, knots growing within, struggling
to get away from the stranglehold this desire has set
in place.

Nothing quenches it, a hole created by it keeps
growing, there seems to be no way of stopping or
filling it.

Writing helps to see what is going on within, yet
nothing can be done about it.

Explaining the feelings does not help to ease the
pain it brings and no one else can help erase it
either.
