Songs Of Desire: 01- The Restless Midnights

Rating: 5.0


One man,
One body-
Lived so many nights,
Lived so many lives,
So many waves of desire
dashed on the shores
of this mind-
So many clouds of urge
flew over the skies
of this heart.


But I was lonely,
as ever
alone on my bed,
alone on my road,
like a butterfly
with burnt wings
looked at the hearth of life.


Like a moth
of the restless midnight
I loved to burn and break
my wings of desire
again and again
in many fires
in many storms
along the shores of
ocean of all shades and
tides, sweet and sour.

Like a moth of the restless midnight I loved to burn and break The wIngs of desire again and again. Still there is no outlet from the tentacles of desire.Man lives with self pretention sir.Never pretend others we are so helpless.

But I was lonely, as ever alone on my bed, alone on my road, like a butterfly with burnt wings looked at the hearth of life. A deep longing for life dazzles in the butterfly. Nice poem shared. 10++++
