Self Control Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Once again the desires
From deep down the heart
As extension of the body
In dripping juices from the tip
Held down by the self control
The chains that the reason
Has put on to hold
Tied and wounded

Once again the flesh
Aching in expectancy
The unfulfilled dreams
Never shall it see
The days of the happy union
To break apart and come out naked
The covers of sublimations are too heavy

Dormant has gone the desire’s corner
The body now reacts but is quietus
Again the pain of yearning
Has become nothing
But a series of lamentations
