Desire Poem by Alfred kaliisa

what i desire owns me,

though own it i never will,

From the suns rising it owns

mine thoughts and leaves them not

till i rest in sleep when the darkness

arrives.


My desire slowly eats away my life

like a cancer when still young and

enslaves me to its cravings....

Oh...How pleasant and endearing those 

cravings are for in that moment i own my

desire and forever wish to be trapped in

it for ever but as i have come to learn

in life we never get what we desire but

what we deserve.


So forgive me as indulge me self

alittle while longer in my desire

for not slaving for her means no

Delight to my days, only

SADNESS! ! ! ! !
