A Monster named Desire
My desire
A bottomless barrel
Hungry like a new born bird
Wants and wants
Cries and cries
To fill the void
I am the puppet
Dancing to its tune
Joking, smiling, crying
And cajoling
Sprouting wings
To cross the seven seas
I bang my head again and again
On the Himalayas
And fall down and bleed
On the tundra of reality
Then
Like the ancient monster
Desire rises again and again
Thousand headed
To tempt me
To be with you
To fill the barrel
Again and again.
