Dark Desire
The whirlpool of my desire
Lures…
Its darkness churning,
Spinning with no beginning
No end…
It waits to suck me
Into its murky depths.
I stand on its edge
Once more
Hesitant, afraid
And yet tempted…
I have been there,
Tormented and torn
My soul bleeding
And lacerated
Beyond repair,
Weeping tears of
Hopeless longing
All in vain…
Tossed and turned
In this hellish hole
I learnt the lessons
Of wanting a love
With a hunger that
Clawed and gnawed
At every fiber of my being…
You were there too
Once upon a time,
Dragged into its
Abysmal inferno,
Embroiled in my
Dark desires
Broken and helpless…
Till Sense and Survival
Prevailed and I
Was left alone in
My own dark dungeon
And you moved on…
Time stood still then
The pain seemed eternal,
Like a shadow that lingered…
Till stubborn sunlight of Hope
Lashed at every nook
Of darkness and pain,
Stripping it of its poison
Healing and nurturing
The wasted me…
Today I hear its
Caressing call once more
Seducing me to its
Gory depths…
Tantalized
I want to be swallowed
In its endless depth
Lost again…
