The Thirst Of Desires Poem by Afzal Shauq

My hope like horses
return thirsty at sunset.

Weary of this search
for my true beloved.

So I quench their thirst
with my eyes salty tears.

With these tears of salt
greater the thirst I make

Desires I believed
with one love this void would fill

But I was the one
who must the fountain be.
