Doubt And Desire Poem by Piotr Kasjas

This distance between us holds separation
and breeds in the mind a nameless thought
which becomes a throbbing and unbearable torment.

The world may be embraced with simple words or framed with hallucinations
which circulate in the specks of subconscious space
and create boundless self-contempt.

Sometimes I worry: does our life really exist?
Is it worth breathlessly believing in treacherous dreams
and in this feeling which continues apart from us?

Everyone may choose a different path.
I don't know which one I shall take today
but each of them always leads me to you.

Happy are those who yearn for nothing
and those who do not know desire.
