Desire!
Your dark-pupiled eyeballs,
Soft and tender
As two almond fruits,
Pierces through my weak
But stronger globes;
It steers my fragile soul
Vehemently astray!
How my lips quiver
At the fragrance of your presence!
My arms long for an embrace
Around your warm shapely form.
Yet, none of these would I have,
But to pinch your lovely heart
With my slim fingerly words.
Else, I would be far gone astray!
This is true; this is not lust.
One day, we may come through;
Then, I will fold you in my arms!
But hence,
Let it seem as though
We never really cared!
